Be open to having to merge the terse non-academic resume and not-terse academic CV. When a company looks for a scientific developer, particularly if an advanced degree is required, they want to see proof of “science”. In these positions, there’s usually an hour seminar on a research topic similar to a scientific conference (along with the other, more typical interview stuff). In these areas, terse can be read as nothing to say.
I never tried to write a resume. I had a main part of the CV that I tried to keep to 3 pages. I also had a secondary part that collected presentations and publications and the like. This grew over the years and I think it stabilized at 7 or more pages but the time I stopped updating it. But then, I never applied for a non scientific programming position as they saw PhD as a big negative.
