Google Scholar affiliation between positions

r/

Hi everyone. I finished my PhD about a year ago and had no luck obtaining an academic position, including a postdoc. I’m trying again to get a postdoc position this year and am updating my Google Scholar profile. However, I’m not sure what to list as my academic affiliation since technically I don’t currently have one.

Should I list where I graduated, or will that look like I’m working at the university? Is there something else that I should list instead?

Thank you!

    Just use your former affiliation. Nobody will complain about this.

    List your grad school.

    Nobody reads Google scholar stuff

    I just put “unemployed” on my publications when I didn’t have a job.

    Independent if you insist but not updating is a better policy. If anybody asks (and nobody will) you are too busy to update Google Scholar.
