The curriculum vitae reflects experiences and development in the candidate’s career and provides an overview of academic accomplishments. It should be concise and clear. All accomplishments and activities listed in the CV should accurately reflect the candidate’s specific contributions, and candidates will be asked as part of submission to verify that the contents of their dossier are current and correct.
Candidates must use the university's P&T vita template, and have the option of using the vita template created in Interfolio (drawing on data already entered during the annual review). Candidates should not alter the order or structure of items in the template (specifically, the order of headings and the grant table must be the same; other structures and formats can be changed as needed). The template includes an annotation to specify authorship protocols within the discipline regarding order of authorship and contributions if not lead author. The grants section of the template should be used as is, without alteration and including all the indicated information. The template includes a 200-word biography of the candidate, which will be published in the recognition booklet featuring newly promoted and/or tenured faculty. This biography should be written in the third person and specify the contributions of the candidate to the university.
Candidates can submit an “Addendum Memo” to their package if they have any substantive additions or changes to the CV after the initial submission (e.g., “Grant proposal X to NSF, listed as pending on page Y, has now been awarded”). This may occur at any level prior to the deadline for submission to Faculty Affairs. The Addendum Memo should be addressed to the department head and must contain a statement that the candidate deems the changes to be accurate as of the date of the memo and must be signed and dated by the candidate. The Addendum Memo must then be submitted through the department head (or dean if no department head) who will ensure the new information is added to the candidate’s package in Interfolio.
