In the pack: ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini Prompts for Researchers & Academics
Research Statement for an Academic Job Application
Prompt
Position and institution, with the advert's stated criteria (pasted): {{POSITION_AND_CRITERIA}}
My completed work, in my words, with outputs I can name: {{COMPLETED_WORK}}
Work in progress and plans for the next three to five years: {{FUTURE_PLANS}}
Funding or collaboration ideas I have actually considered: {{FUNDING_IDEAS}}
Page or word limit: {{LENGTH_LIMIT}}
Draft a statement that:
1. Opens with the research question or theme that connects my work, not a list of papers.
2. Summarises past work through its contribution, referring only to outputs I named.
3. Presents the future agenda as a coherent programme with two or three projects, what makes each feasible, and who might fund or collaborate, using only the ideas I gave.
4. Speaks to the criteria in the advert and shows fit without flattery.
5. Fits the limit.
Afterwards, list claims I should be ready to evidence, anything vague, and questions the committee might ask. Do not invent publications, grants, collaborators or results, and do not claim impact I did not describe. Mark gaps with [MY INPUT NEEDED]. Check the institution's own requirements for format and content.
