Curriculum Vitae

Each candidate must prepare a comprehensive CV that documents their professional accomplishments.

The CV must clearly distinguish between accomplishments in rank and in a previous rank.

Tenured associate professors who were promoted from tenure-track assistant professor to tenured associate professor at UT Austin may include accomplishments during the academic year corresponding to the previous promotion review as accomplishments in rank. However, each accomplishment must count toward only one promotion at UT Austin. For example, if a paper was listed as in-press for promotion from tenure-track assistant to tenured associate professor, that paper must not be counted as in rank for promotion to full professor.

Two exceptions to this rule exist:

• Tenure-track assistant professors may consider accomplishments as a tenure-track instructor at UT as in rank
• Tenured associate professors may consider accomplishments in rank as a tenure-track associate professor at UT Austin as in rank.

Each college/school is strongly encouraged to create a CV template that includes all required components for their promotion candidates to use to help standardize the presentation of material. Templates must include the elements listed below. In colleges/schools that do not offer a template, the candidate must provide a CV with the following minimum elements:
