发帖数: 225 | 1 After spending ~ 4 hours on reviewing ~50 application materials today, I
came to the conclusion that there are some “tricks” you should try to make
the reviewer’s life easier, and hopefully help your profile stand out.
Keep in mind that, in average, each application would be scanned within 5
min or less (it sounds REALLY bad, I know; you have spent hours in preparing
them). But each member of the search committee would most likely have to
review 100+ applications (and NO ONE really loves reading these documents!),
and the first cursory review would most likely filter 100+ application down
to 20 or less. If you believe you are WORTHY and should be in the short
list of 20 applications, please read on.
First, cover Letter is important. A great opportunity to quickly grab the
committee’s attention. Use hold and underline to highlight your research
accomplishments, and what the focus of your future research is.
Second, CV is crucial.
• Please separate first author, from other publications; number
them
• Most recent papers first
• High profile papers first
• Anything worth noting (Award, etc.), using bold or underline (or
different color).
The bottom line: NO ONE WANTS TO READ THE ENTIRE TEXT HEAVY documents! Your
goal is to help them quickly find what they are looking for. | x*******t

发帖数: 12 | 6 谢谢lz的营养贴。
我的读后感是原则上需要强调让自己look good的信息，让别人容易看到。
还有，你们选candidate的时候会在乎什么时候毕业的吗？如果一个人毕业很多年了（
》15），现在虽然不是tt faculty，但是record没有断过，一直做研究，很多高影响因
子的文章。有可能直接要求associate faculty的位置吗？怎么弥补年龄上的劣势－－
如果有的话。

你得去对方学校系里找asso prof，把他们的资历和你自己的资历去比较

发帖数: 12 | 9 对于现在不是tt位置的人直接要full professor有什么要求吗？哪方面的record比较重
要，第一作者文章，funding经验，corresponding author的文章，teaching经历？工
业界国家实验室或者大学里的研究员都有机会吗？要是年龄没有劣势就最好了,就不担
心研究员做太久了，还是tt的工作比较稳定。

发帖数: 2322 | 10 同意楼主的绝大部分，不过是否单独列出第一作者文章，这个因领域而异。
如果是不看重第一作者的领域，特别地列出第一作者文章会起负面效果。

发帖数: 288 | 11 除非是相当大的牛，直接拿tenured position （associate or full professor)是很
难的。主要是可能没有足够申请联邦政府funding和带博士生的经验。另外一个担心是
你能不能够和系里的其他教授愉快相处。
所以想转学校还是要宜早不宜迟。

发帖数: 3662 | 17 我看Cover Letter没那么重要，除非有特别的事情要写出来。
比如说需要解决配偶工作问题；跳槽的解释为什么要换学校以及请对方保密。
还可以提一下对方系里有哪些和你有交集的教授。
如果这些内容都没有就无所谓了。
关于文章列表，最好把已经发表包括被接收的文章放在一起，把未被接收的文章
放到另一栏。杂志名称最好不要缩写，以方便非本专业的人查索杂志影响因子。
还有，弄一个Google Scholar 的账号也可以给审委提供便利。 | T*******g
发帖数: 2322 | 18 因为每个人都会申很多学校，所以也要看market上有多少openning吧。
大学科1:300，有50个openning，
小学科1:50，但只有5个openning
后者更激烈吧

发帖数: 48 | 19 Agree with most of the points. I'm in the middle of screening ~100 faculty
position applications. If I devote 5 min to each application, that's 500
minutes = ~9 hours. I assume many people will spend less time on reading
these apps.
Basically I need to know right away your current position, area of research,
techniques, and key papers and grants. That information is best and quickly
conveyed through the cover letter.
Then a key criterion is publications. For that I need to know your biggest
contribution to the field -- so it's ideal if you have a "key publication"
section listing 2-4 papers. These don't have to be the first author pubs,
but they should be your absolute best. The papers that let me know what you
did and where you will go.
For research plan, there is just no time to read in detail. It is
particularly annoying if the research statement is a wall of text. The ideal
statement for me is one with lots of spacing. Then right off the bat, you
tell me in one sentence what is your overarching question, and in 2-3
statements, tell me specifically what you will do next.
