Publications and career trajectory in the 'About me' section of a job talk
Since they have asked for it specifically, it won't come across badly unless you make it &quot;over the top&quot;.
But talk about how your publications set a base for future studies and, and maybe how you see your work benefiting future students in their own studies. If it is &quot;in person&quot; then a slide listing your publications could save you some time and words. Maybe in an online talk you could do likewise. Let the publications speak for themselves, but say some things about what they imply for the future &quot;trajectory&quot;.
OTOH, sometimes &quot;over the top&quot; is a good ice breaker. &quot;Greatest mathematician since Poincaré&quot; would do it.
