LaTeX CV following Georgia Tech's idiosyncratic RPT (tenure) requirements

Georgia Tech CV Template

This is an unofficial LaTeX CV template that closely follows Georgia Tech's CV template required for reappointment, promotion, and tenure of academic faculty. The official template is only available in MS Word, hence this unofficial repository. It closely matches the official one at time of writing (March 2023). Note: This CV template is not useful for Gatech students.

How to use

Most of this is pretty straightforward. There are only a few hacks that you have to deal with.

1. Gatech wants your students names in bold face.
   Accomplish this by putting your students' last names in the \makeauthorsbold{} command at the top of cv.tex. This makes them bold everywhere in the document, which is required per the existing RPT template. Here is an example:

   georgia-tech-cv/cv.tex

   Line 7 in e34f48d

   \makeauthorsbold{Le Berre, Radhakrishnan, Zeng, Kothari, Arias, Bati, Chrit, Kocherla}

2. Gatech wants asterisks in front of items that occured before your jointed Gatech.
   Accomplished this by, in ref.bib, use options = {extsym={*}} for all items that occured before you joined Georgia Tech. Here is an example:

   georgia-tech-cv/ref.bib

   Lines 72 to 78 in e34f48d

   	@incollection{conference_1,
   	author = {S. H. Bryngelson and J. B. Freund},
   	title = {Buckling and its effect on the confined flow of a capsule suspension},
   	note = {American Physical Society},
   	year = {2015},
   	options = {extsym={*}},
   	}

3. You'll proabably want a clean way to maintain one .bib file for your entire CV (I do).
   To do this, while maintaining separation of different types of talks and publications maintain autosorting via biblatex. I used some keywords in ref.bib to this sorting:

• Add keywords = "invited" to an @incollection{} type to indicate an invited talk.
• @report{} and @thesis{} types will go into section "B3. Other Refereed Material," which can be seen in this code snippet in preamble.tex

  georgia-tech-cv/preamble.tex

  Lines 32 to 36 in e34f48d

  	% Define some filters for convenience
  	\defbibfilter{other}{
  	type=report or
  	type=thesis
  	}

  You can change this as appropriate for your case.

Maintain a single .bib file for your CV and website

The same biblatex + ref.bib configuration can be used with Jekyll Scholar for maintaining one .bib file for your CV and your website. I do this for my research group here and the corresponding template is here.
