or she notices and remembers. If the most important items stand out, you’re in good shape. Otherwise, more revision is in order.

       A Note About the Sample CVs That Follow

      The following examples, generously volunteered by real candidates, are provided to give you an idea of what such materials look like. Please note that to preserve anonymity:

      • The names of job candidates, their advisors, committee members, and coauthors have been changed or removed.

      • Addresses, emails, and phone numbers have been modified.

      • Some dates have also been changed.

      • The name of a candidate’s most recent institution has been changed to something like University of X, University of Y, X University, or some similar name. Other than that we have tried to alter these CVs as little as possible.

      Condensing the samples allows for more samples to be included here. In order to save space, some of the lists of presentations, publications, honors and awards, activities, and so on, have been truncated. To be clear, if a section has been shortened there will be a note in brackets e.g., [Two additional presentations follow.]. The length of the original document is provided.

      The sample CVs are arranged by broad field: Humanities, Social Sciences, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), Arts, and Professional (disciplines where professional practice as well as research and teaching are an intrinsic part). If the applicant has accepted a position, brief information about the type of institution is also provided. A brief note about the candidate’s search situation or a note about the CV is included in some of the samples.

      These examples should be regarded as excellent, but not necessarily perfect. They are not all in the same format, and they do not all subscribe to the same stylistic conventions, so you can see there are many ways to construct a good CV. And a caveat is that some may be very discipline-specific. The custom in your own field, or an unusual combination of strengths in your background, might well dictate that your CV should be quite different in style, language, or appearance. Don’t attempt to copy any single example. Rather, look at all of them to see which forms of presentation might suit your own taste or situation.

      Dissertation: Communal Song and the Theology of Voice in German Mysticism, 1150-1750. This dissertation argues that speculative mysticism was historically accompanied by the invention of worship practices designed to promote group ecstatic experience. Famous mystical theologians such as Hildegard of Bingen, Meister Eckhart, and Jakob Böhme inspired a transformation of worship practices. Consideration of these communal mystical practices drives a reevaluation of the mystic as solitary contemplative individual, in favor of a subject whose access to the divine is mediated by experience of the other.

      Thesis: Narrative Structures and Productive Contradiction in Perceval and Parzival. This thesis analyzes the structural use of paradox and contradiction in Chrétien de Troyes’ Perceval and Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Parzival, arguing that Wolfram correctly identifies the use of contradiction in Chrétien’s narrative, but modifies its operation within the narrative to create the productive paradox necessary for the symbolic consummation of the Grail history and evangelism.
