有一作paper的就用I, co first author就用we,不用担心教授们觉得你太arrogant,大 家都知道你有老板有同事(你文章的co authors). 这个时候谦虚,只会让人怀疑你的贡 献,对你没有信心,怎么可能把offer给你? 我老板在我practise的时候纠正最多的就 是"I" not "we". 我觉得我整个面试的过程学到的就是敢说"I"-- show your confidence as an independent investigator and sale yourself, not anyone else .
If I had interviewed you, I felt that you took advantage of your co-authors (including your advisor). For example, if you say: I propose aaaaa. I am wondering whether the idea is yours at all. Sometime, a student was supported by a funded project, which were already founded before the student even came here. How can the student claimed that I proposed aaaa. In such a case, use we --good.

这方面的norm因学科而异。不过据我所知,一般来讲独立作者的时候用 I,合写的文章 用 we。

You should definitely use 'I'. However, you should rephrase your sentences like this: I proposed ... together with . My colleagues and I ....

If it is your idea, you can say I proposed and did the work. If not, you just say I did this work if you are the primary researcher and we did other work together if you all contribute equally. You already rewarded those who helped you by having them in the papers that you first authored and co- first authored. And you will do that again when you acknowledge them at the end of your talk. But now it is the most critical time to show your competence for the job that hundreds of others are fighting for and you have only one page of words to convince the reviewers. Making your contribution clear is way better than just vaguely saying "we". That was my point. So advice for USATT2011: Do NOT reach a judgment when you do not understand others' points completely. There is no such thing that you take advantage of your adviser, given the fact you have been slaved for a few years and your boss is taking advantage of you all the time! Isn't that true that in most of case, you cannot use your phd/postdoc results you worked overnight for to apply for your future grants unless he/she is nice enough to allow you to? People take it for granted that you work on the project that your boss proposed even though you might have conceived most of the ideas...
authors is yours at all. Sometime, a student was supported by a funded project, which were already founded before the student even came here. How can the student claimed that I proposed aaaa.

I agree. In fact, all of my mentors insisted on using 'I' instead of 'we', to stress personal contribution.

I use "I" many times in my application materials and I got a tenure-track assistant professor offer.

I just went through the process and I learned a lot form here. I deeply felt that a little help at the beginning of the application from other experienced will go a long way. So I am just returning the favor here. Good luck!
