Build a postdoc CV from your research record
Sign in with ORCID and SigmaCV assembles a current, citation-formatted CV from your open research record — for postdoc, fellowship and early-career job applications, ready to curate and export.
As a postdoc you are applying for fellowships, grants and your next position on rolling deadlines, and re-formatting your CV each time is a drain. SigmaCV builds a current, citation-formatted CV from your open research record — publications, funding, teaching and service — so you keep one canonical version and export whatever each application needs.
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 do opt in — aligned with DORA. It is free and open source.
- Publications, funding and teaching pulled from ORCID and OpenAlex — matched by identifier, never by name.
- Consistent CSL citations exported to PDF, DOCX, LaTeX or Markdown — keep one CV current for rolling deadlines.
- Free for individuals and open source; opt-in, field-normalized metrics (default none, DORA-aligned).
How to build a postdoc CV
- Sign in with your ORCID iD. SigmaCV reads your public ORCID and OpenAlex record — no copy-pasting your publication list.
- Your record assembles. Publications, funding, teaching and service are pulled in and formatted; add anything missing by DOI.
- Curate for each application. Choose which work appears and apply a funder layout (NIH, ERC, UKRI…) for grant and fellowship applications, reversibly.
- Style and export. Pick a citation style, optionally switch on field-normalized metrics, and export to PDF, DOCX, LaTeX or Markdown.
Why build your postdoc CV with SigmaCV
Postdoc applications come thick and fast, and each funder or employer wants a slightly different format. SigmaCV separates your record from its presentation: keep one canonical CV and reshape it — funder layout, section order, which works appear — in a click, without rebuilding it each time.
It is free for individuals and open source, matches your work by identifier, and treats metrics responsibly: off by default, opt-in, and field-normalized over raw counts, in line with DORA.
Can I keep one CV current for many applications?
Yes. SigmaCV builds from one canonical record that re-syncs from the open sources, so you update once and export a tailored version for each postdoc, fellowship or job application.
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 support funder 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.
Will my metrics be 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.
Can I export to LaTeX?
Yes — SigmaCV exports a ready-to-compile .tex CV plus a .bib bibliography, alongside PDF, DOCX and Markdown.
