About this template
The Supply Chain & Logistics template is an academic CV in Roboto with an operational orange accent — built for supply-chain scholars and operations-research academics. Sections balance peer-reviewed publications with industry partnerships and operational case studies. The layout parses through Workday, Interfolio and the recruitment platforms of engineering schools and business schools (MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics, Cranfield School of Management, ESCP, KEDGE, EM Lyon, HEC, INSEAD, ETH Zurich D-MTEC).
Who is it for?
It suits researchers in supply-chain management, operations research, inventory management and logistics optimisation, professors in MBA and executive-education programmes specialising in supply chain, candidates for operations-management chairs (MIT CTL Chair, Cranfield Logistics Chair, KEDGE Centre of Excellence in Supply Chain Chair), senior practitioners (Tier-1 industry supply-chain directors) transitioning to academia, and candidates for CNU sections 6 or 27 and INFORMS academic appointments.
How to use it
Five blocks structure the document — Research (axes: stochastic optimisation, supply-chain resilience, sustainability, humanitarian logistics), Publications (Operations Research, Management Science, M&SOM, IJPDLM, Journal of Business Logistics, with ABS ranking), Industry partnerships (with Tier-1 firms: Schneider Electric, Carrefour Logistics, L'Oréal, Maersk, DHL Supply Chain, Walmart), Case studies (HBS, INSEAD, Cranfield Case Centre), Consulting mandates. State data volumes processed and savings generated for industry cases. Useful long-tail queries: 'supply chain professor CV', 'operations research PhD resume', 'MIT CTL academic CV', 'humanitarian logistics researcher CV', 'supply-chain director academic transition CV'.
Frequently asked questions
How do I quantify industry partnership impact without breaching confidentiality?
State the order of magnitude without naming the client or disclosing exact figures: 'logistics cost reduction of 8 to 12% over 18 months', 'network optimisation across 250 sites in Europe', 'Tier-1 food distribution operator'. For sponsored chairs (Schneider, L'Oréal, Carrefour, DHL), a sponsor agreement often allows citing the partnership with its volume but without tariff details — verify the disclosure clause before drafting.
Should I rank publications by ABS or by OR/SCM category?
Both conventions coexist. For business-school committees (MIT CTL, INSEAD, Cranfield, KEDGE), the ABS 4/4/3 ranking dominates — Operations Research (4), Management Science (4*), MSOM (4) at the top. For engineering-school committees (Centrale, Mines, MIT-Sloan engineering track), IJPR/IJPDLM convention with JCR impact factor fits better. Cite both when applying across these institutional categories in parallel.
Does the template work for humanitarian logistics or NGO profiles?
Yes. Use a 'Humanitarian logistics and field operations' section listing NGO missions (MSF, UNHCR, WFP, ICRC), zones of operation, and chains established (vaccine cold chain, emergency food distribution, WASH supply lines). For humanitarian supply-chain chairs (Kühne Logistics University, INSEAD Humanitarian Research Group), this practical experience counts as much as a Production and Operations Management publication for the hiring committee.
