Built by researchers who study academic careers.
Cevian Labs is a Boulder, Colorado company founded by two computer scientists who have spent a decade studying how academic careers unfold: who gets hired, who stays, who publishes what, and why. CVParsa grew out of that work: the same questions, now answered one CV at a time.
