Tailoring your CV/cover letter for faculty positions at R1 institutions

Workshop Description:

You may have just two minutes to convince your reader that you are the right fit for a faculty position. In this workshop, we will describe how candidates can use the Academic Career Readiness Assessment (ACRA) Framework to strategically tailor their CV and Cover Letter to R1 institutions. Participants will use the ACRA Framework to analyze sample materials and suggest ways in which they think the materials can be improved.

The ACRA Framework was developed with the input from faculty members at diverse types of institutions, with the support of a Burroughs Wellcome Fund grant.
