Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key phrase here is « Job Market Paper »: it is not a side document, it is the proof that your research can already be published. For this kind of position, a strong CV with a weak paper is less convincing than a dossier built around one clear, well-written research piece. The right move is to put that paper at the center of the single PDF, then align the CV, publication list, and a short cover letter around it. Then submit in the exact format requested and keep your schedule open for late November.
