An academic job application requires a level of detail and length that makes it quite unlike applying for a job in the public sector. This may initially seem daunting, especially for early-career academics applying for their first university post. However, the length and breadth of an academic job application provides an excellent opportunity for applicants to demonstrate and elaborate on their experiences, capabilities and achievements by providing a response to the selection criteria, accompanied by a CV and cover letter.
Capstone Editing has edited hundreds of academic job applications and helped many of its clients to secure academic positions. Our specialised academic editors are familiar with the specific requirements of university job applications and possess the expertise required to edit your responses to the selection criteria, CV and cover letter for maximum impact. We can guarantee that your application is perfectly worded to demonstrate your suitability for the advertised position.
The writing required for an academic job application is identical to other types of academic writing in that it requires the adherence to particular conventions. Our academic copyeditors specialise in editing for academics and will help you to produce a job application that is impeccably written and conforms to the expectations of both HR and the senior academics who will be reviewing it. We will ensure that each document included in your job application is flawlessly presented and written to demonstrate your strengths and capabilities in the best possible way.
Capstone Editing offers a range of editing services to assist you with your academic job application.

Our copyeditors will check your documents for punctuation, grammar, spelling and formatting errors as well as providing an overall edit of the structure, consistency and style of writing and referencing.
