Academic
You have spent years in one or more academic institutions (universities, academies, or research centres). You will likely have the equivalent of a masters or doctoral degree, and you may have held academic tenure at some point.
In any case, you are a practiced researcher in one or more areas of study in the sciences, social sciences or humanities.
The skills you develop tend to be well-grounded in theory, while skills that are day-to-day practical are less considered.
