This CV format got me into research labs at Cambridge and LSE!
Edit: My CV, as of May 2023, is at https://lnkd.in/g24i_6Ec
What most of us have is an âindustry CVâ that is not relevant and specific to research labs. Hereâs how you can transform your industry CV into an academic one.
It must have the following sections:
1) Basic Info:
Name, email ID, links to LinkedIn and Twitter accounts
2) Education:
Degree, course, college, GPA, date of beginning, and date of completion
3) Research Experience:
Research lab, university, PIâs name, and roles and responsibilities (be specific and quantify as much as possible).
P.S. It's completely okay if you don't have any research exp, everybody starts from somewhere :D
4) Skills:
List skills relevant to all phases of research and indicate your level (basic, intermediate, advanced)
5) Posters and Oral Presentations:
Mention the posters/papers youâve presented at conferences either in person or virtually with the date and place
6) Additional Courses and Workshops:
Write any additional courses youâve taken or workshops youâve attended (should be relevant to the research position)
7) Work Experience:
Place, designation, and roles and responsibilities (be specific and quantify as much as possible)
Other sections you can include
- Awards (should be academic)
- Volunteering and Extracurriculars
Please remember that while having research exp is a plus, not having research exp isn't a minus, it's neutral
All the best!
