Structure of research statement for a tenure-track position I am going to prepare a research statement for a tenure-track position. How is the structure of a research statement for a tenure-track position? Must the sections be separated into &quot;Past Experiences&quot; and &quot;Future Plans&quot;? Or it is possible to describe future plans within the text of past experiences?
Discuss your past experience only to demonstrate that you are the correct person to carry out the ambitious program of research which you are proposing. Your CV, letters of recommendation and sample publications will already speak highly of your prior work, so your research statement should be almost entirely forward looking. Good luck!
