Title: Rethinking Academic Recruitment: Exploring the Potential of Narrative CVs

Abstract: Narrative CVs (NCVs) are gaining momentum across the research landscape as an innovative approach to improve research culture, reshape assessment practices, and advance equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). As their use expands, multiple research bodies are exploring their potential for academic recruitment. In this talk, I will present a pioneering randomised clinical trial embedded in live postdoctoral recruitment at the University of Cambridge, as part of the Action Research on Research Culture (ARRC) project. The session will cover the rationale behind the R4RI NCV format, its structure and intended impact, our experimental methodology, and key insights from a published pilot study. The talk will conclude with practical details and an open Q&A for those interested in contributing to this study.
