Features
Built for
academics.
Not generic
websites.
Every feature is designed around how academics actually work.
Import from Google Scholar
Paste your Scholar URL and every publication comes in automatically. Titles, co-authors, journals, years. All synced in seconds.
Sections built for academia
Publications, teaching history, research interests, grants, awards, and a contact form. Every section an academic actually needs, nothing a startup thinks you need.
Three professional templates
Classic for sciences and medicine. Modern for technology and engineering. Minimal for humanities and arts. Switch between them from your dashboard instantly.
Your own subdomain
Every account gets yourname.getlecturn.com from day one — a clean, professional link to share anywhere.
Ready in under 10 minutes
A 6-step wizard walks you through name, photo, research interests, publications, teaching, and template choice. No blank pages, no decisions from scratch.
Download a formatted CV
Your profile data generates a clean PDF CV, formatted for A4, ready to attach to a job application or grant submission with one click.
Templates
Three templates. One for your field.
Same content, different presentation. Switch between them any time from your dashboard — nothing gets lost.
Classic
Sciences & medicineA structured two-column layout with a formal header. Reads like a department page, minus the 2009 CSS.
Modern
Technology & engineeringA bold hero with publication stats up front. For academics whose work moves fast and should look like it.
Minimal
Humanities & artsA single quiet column where the writing leads. Generous whitespace, typographic hierarchy, nothing else.
Classic is free forever. Modern and Minimal come with Pro →
