Oct 26, 2011 at 18:01 comment added Thierry Zell @Noah again: generally, applications materials for a tenure-track position should be more forward-looking than for a postdoc: people want to have an idea what you'll be doing 5 years from now in the first case, while that is not really relevant in the second case. Of course, the CV is about what you have already done, but depending on your circumstances, there are ways to emphasize X and play down Y to suggest either what's going to happen in the near future, or further down the line.
Oct 26, 2011 at 14:27 comment added Thierry Zell @Noah: I'm sure it depends on the circumstances, but as a post-doc I would emphasize more the collaboration aspect (what topic? with whom?) than for a tenure-track position.
Oct 26, 2011 at 13:35 comment added Noah Snyder So certainly it makes sense that for a teaching vs. research position you'd want to put more or less emphasis on your teaching credentials. But I have no idea what you mean when you talk about emphasizing different things for post-doc vs. tenure-track. This isn't at all obvious to me, in fact I hadn't heard this before.
