Build a faculty or tenure CV from your research record
Sign in with ORCID and SigmaCV assembles a comprehensive, citation-formatted CV from your open research record — for faculty job, tenure and promotion files, ready to curate and export.
A faculty or tenure CV is long and comprehensive — publications, grants, teaching, supervision and service — and keeping it current across job, tenure and promotion files is real work. SigmaCV assembles it from your open research record and keeps one canonical version you can reshape for each purpose.
Your work is matched by your ORCID / OpenAlex identifier, not your name, citations are formatted consistently through CSL, and metrics stay off by default and field-normalized when you opt in — aligned with DORA. It is free and open source.
- Publications, grants, teaching and service pulled from ORCID and OpenAlex — matched by identifier, never by name.
- Consistent CSL citations across PDF, DOCX, LaTeX and Markdown; one canonical CV, many funder layouts.
- Free for individuals and open source; opt-in, field-normalized metrics (default none, DORA-aligned).
How to build a faculty CV
- Sign in with your ORCID iD. SigmaCV reads your public ORCID and OpenAlex record — no manual list-keeping.
- Your full record assembles. Publications, grants, teaching and service are pulled in and formatted; add anything missing by DOI.
- Apply a layout for the purpose. Switch between a full CV, a funder format (NIH, ERC, UKRI…) or a trimmed version — reversibly, from one record.
- Style and export. Pick a citation style, optionally show field-normalized metrics, and export to PDF, DOCX, LaTeX or Markdown.
Why build your faculty CV with SigmaCV
Senior CVs are large and constantly out of date. SigmaCV separates your record from its presentation: keep one canonical CV that re-syncs from the open record, and reshape it — section order, funder layout, which works appear — without rebuilding it for every committee.
It is free for individuals and open source, matches work by identifier, and treats metrics responsibly: off by default, opt-in, and field-normalized over raw counts, never a journal Impact Factor — in line with DORA.
Can it produce funder and tenure CV formats?
Yes. SigmaCV has one-click layouts for major funders (NIH, NSF, ERC, UKRI R4RI, SNSF and more), applied reversibly to the same canonical CV, so you can derive a tenure or grant CV without rebuilding it.
Is it free?
Yes. SigmaCV is free for individuals and open source under the Apache-2.0 licence, and reads only public research metadata.
Does it handle a long publication list?
Yes. Publications are pulled in automatically and formatted consistently; you group, order and curate them, and the same list exports to every format.
Can I keep one CV and derive funder versions?
Yes — one canonical CV, with one-click funder/tenure layouts applied reversibly, so you don't maintain several copies.
Are metrics shown by default?
No. Metrics are off by default and opt-in; when enabled, SigmaCV prefers field-normalized indicators and never shows a journal Impact Factor.
