This is my CV in LaTeX. I am new to LaTeX, but I use it here because it offers some nice typesetting options and automation features for plain text documents.
For example, you can integrate LaTeX with Python via PythonTex package. This package is super helpful for executing Python code within your LaTeX document. For my CV, I used PythonTex to query the NIH web API for the iCite Database containing the Relative Citation Ratio (RCR) for papers in PubMed. The RCR is a new citation metric that quantifies an article's influence relative to articles in its field. The authors of the RCR delineate an article's field using its co-citation network. For more details, see the original paper in PLoS Biology.
There are a few packages for creating CVs/resumes in LaTeX, but I opted for a template created Dario Taraborelli, which can be found on his website and on his GitHub. Although it should work for any LaTeX compiler, I have been using TeXShop and the MacTeX distribution. You may need to install the Academicons package and the FontAwesome package. You may also need to install other fonts, including Libertine.
Steps for compiling:
- xelatex smith_cv.tex
- pythontex smith_cv.tex
- xelatex smith_cv.tex
