Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

academic-cv scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Academic CV and Job Application Materials

Academic job applications require a distinct set of documents that differ significantly from industry applications. An academic CV can span 5–15 pages, research statements articulate your scholarly trajectory, and teaching philosophies demonstrate pedagogical commitment. This skill covers all components of academic job applications across international contexts.


Academic CV vs. Resume

The academic CV (curriculum vitae) is fundamentally different from an industry resume:

Feature Academic CV Industry Resume
Length 5–15+ pages (grows throughout career) 1–2 pages (condensed)
Purpose Comprehensive scholarly record Targeted marketing document
Detail level Exhaustive (every publication, talk, service) Selective (relevant highlights)
Format Sections by category; no page limit Reverse chronological; strict limits
Audience Search committees; tenure committees Hiring managers; recruiters
Scope Career-long record Last 10–15 years

When to use each:

  • Academic positions (faculty, postdoc, research scientist) → Academic CV
  • Industry R&D with publications → Modified CV (shorter)
  • Industry/consulting/non-academic → Resume

CV Sections

A comprehensive academic CV includes the following sections, ordered by priority for your career stage:

1. Header

YOUR NAME
Current Title, Institution
Email | Phone | ORCID | Google Scholar | Personal Website

Requirements:

  • Name in 14–16pt bold
  • Professional email (institution preferred over personal)
  • ORCID iD (essential for publishing)
  • Google Scholar profile link (shows citation metrics)
  • Personal website or ResearchGate/Academia.edu if active

2. Education

List in reverse chronological order:

PhD in [Discipline], [Month Year]
[University Name], [City, Country]
Dissertation: "[Title]"
Advisor: [Name], [Institution]
Committee: [Names]
Awards: [Fellowships, honors during degree]

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
