I'm working on updating my resume and converting it into a LaTeX-based CV. I'm reusing features from several open templates, which I liked, but I'm trying to modify the document per my taste and contents. Long story short, currently I'm experiencing a strange issue, where the content (my researcher identifiers) within a \parbox, for some reason, gets dislocated down from the expected vertical position. I would appreciate help in fixing that. A picture of the issue and the relevant MWE follow. P.S. Please let me know, if you want my QR Code image file.
The issue:
Code (MWE):
\documentclass[12pt]{article}

marginparsep=1.5mm,
margin=25mm,
includemp]{geometry}
\setlength{\parindent}{0in}
\usepackage[shortlabels]{enumitem}
\usepackage{graphicx}
% I wasn't sure, if I could omit 'fancyhdr'-related

You haven't said what "the issue" is. If you use no option, or
[c]then the alignment point for the parbox is its vertical centre. If you use[t]the alignment point is the baseline of its top row.As far as I can tell none of the
\parboxin the example code are needed as they are just duplicating thepcolumns.I guess you want something like
Although I wouldn't use
ORCID:\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \to fake alignment, use an inner tested tabular to line up those fields.using a
tabularto avoid using\ \ \ \and to add the vertical rule
