LaTeX CV/resume templates for PhD students and researchers, covering ATS-optimized industry resumes and full academic CVs.

Instructions onlyDocuments & Office Writing & Content

AI-generated overview

Provides LaTeX CV and resume templates for PhD students, postdocs and researchers, covering academic CVs and ATS-safe industry resumes.

What it does: This skill supplies LaTeX template guidance for three resume styles: an ATS-safe single-column industry resume, a two-column high-density resume, and a multi-page academic CV. It gives setup and compilation instructions for pdfLaTeX and XeLaTeX, example section markup, and advice on converting an academic CV into an industry resume. It produces LaTeX source and compiled PDF resumes rather than any automated output.
When to use it: Use it when drafting or restructuring a CV or resume in LaTeX, especially when moving from an academic CV to an industry application. It also fits requests for ATS-friendly formatting, faculty or postdoc CVs, or specific template styles.
Requirements: A full TeX distribution with pdfLaTeX and XeLaTeX, plus font packages such as FontAwesome for the XeLaTeX templates. Some templates reference external class files that must be obtained separately. No scripts ship with the skill; it is instructions only.

Awesome PhD CV

Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.

A curated collection of LaTeX CV/resume templates for PhD students, postdocs, and researchers. Covers three distinct use cases: ATS-safe industry resumes (Jake's format), high-density two-column resumes (Deedy format), and full multi-page academic CVs (Awesome-CV format).

What This Project Provides

Template	Use Case	Engine	Columns	Pages
`research-cv/` (Awesome-CV)	Faculty, postdoc, academic CV	XeLaTeX	1	Multi
`jakes-format/`	Industry SWE, big tech, ATS-critical	pdfLaTeX	1	1
`deedy-format/`	Experienced tech professionals	XeLaTeX	2	1

Installation & Setup

Prerequisites

Install a full TeX distribution:

bash

# macOSbrew install --cask mactex
# Ubuntu/Debiansudo apt-get install texlive-full
# Windows — download MiKTeX from https://miktex.org/

# macOSbrew install --cask mactex
# Ubuntu/Debiansudo apt-get install texlive-full
# Windows — download MiKTeX from https://miktex.org/

For XeLaTeX templates (Awesome-CV, Deedy), ensure font packages are available:

Clone the Repo

Template 1: Jake's Format (Industry / ATS-Safe)

File: jakes-format/resume.tex
Engine: pdfLaTeX — no custom fonts, no multi-column, passes ATS parsers at Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft.

Core Insight: Academic CV → Industry Resume Conversion

The Mindset Shift

Academic CV	Industry Resume
Publication-driven	Project-driven
Venue and novelty	Impact, scale, deployment
Full paper titles + co-authors	One-line signal: venue + citations
Long, multi-page	One page, ATS-parseable
Human reviewer (domain expert)	ATS first → recruiter → engineer

What to Keep, Cut, and Reframe

KEEP (reframed as impact):  ✓ Open-source projects with GitHub stars → proves production-quality code  ✓ Deployed systems / real-world validation  ✓ Quantified results: "30% reduction in drift on KITTI"  ✓ Scale: "serves N users / processes N points/sec"
CUT or COMPRESS:  ✗ Full publication list → keep top 2-3 most relevant  ✗ Teaching history → omit unless applying to EdTech  ✗ Conference reviewer service  ✗ Verbose paper abstracts as bullet points
REFRAME:  Before: "Published paper on real-time LiDAR odometry at IROS 2023"  After:  "Built real-time LiDAR odometry system (30ms/frame on embedded GPU);           open-sourced with 800+ GitHub stars; adopted by 2 AV startups"

Troubleshooting

XeLaTeX: Font Not Found

Fix:

bash

# Install FontAwesome system-widesudo apt-get install fonts-font-awesome   # Ubuntufc-cache -fv                              # Rebuild font cache

# Install FontAwesome system-widesudo apt-get install fonts-font-awesome   # Ubuntufc-cache -fv                              # Rebuild font cache

Or inside the .cls file, comment out \newfontfamily lines for missing fonts and substitute system fonts.

pdfLaTeX: Undefined Control Sequence `\resumeSubheading`

Fix: Ensure all custom \newcommand definitions appear in the preamble before \begin{document}. Jake's template is self-contained — do not split across files without copying the command definitions.

ATS Rejects Resume (No Text Extracted)

If an ATS returns your resume blank:

Switch to jakes-format/ (pdfLaTeX, no custom fonts).
Remove \includegraphics (profile photos).
Avoid tabular-heavy layouts; use plain itemize.
Test extraction: pdftotext resume.pdf - should return readable text.

Overleaf Compilation

Jake's format: set compiler to pdfLaTeX in Overleaf settings.
Awesome-CV and Deedy: set compiler to XeLaTeX.
Upload the .cls file alongside .tex if Overleaf can't find it.
