career path - CV contents for application for professorship positions in Germany


I am in the process of applying for a Junior Professorship (W1) in mathematics in Germany, and according the the job listing, the required application documents include a CV and a list of publications (among other things).


What should I include in the CV? Personal details, such as date/place of birth, martial status? How about invited and contributed talks at workshops and conferences? And research interests, or language / computer skills?


How long should the CV generally be?



Answer






  • In Germany you usually have data/place of birth and martial status on your CV and it is also common to have the number of children there. Also a portrait photo is not uncommon, though not necessary.




  • You should state your academic career, i.e. where you got your degrees, who has been your supervisor and when you graduated (give BSc, MSc and PhD).




  • Academic and other employments (where did you do postdocs, internships and such)





  • A list of grants.




  • Other scientific activities such as service for the community, public outreach, acting as a referee for journals.




  • (Invited) talks you gave (may be a selection)




  • Lectures you gave, possibly your graduate students





That's what I had on my CV when I applied for Junior professorships. Was about five pages without list of publications (which can be included in the CV, by the way).
