Go to your faculty profile by clicking on “Faculty & Research” in the navigation bar at the bottom of the banner image. Then click on “Faculty Directory” in the left column. Find your profile from the list and click on it.

If you haven’t logged in, do so now by clicking on the “Login” link in the top right, then return to your profile. When you’re logged in, you’ll notice there’re additional buttons under the top banner. These include: Contents, View, Edit, Properties, Sharing, and Aliases. You will notice that these options only appear on certain pages on the site. Those would be the only pages that you have permission to edit, including your faculty profile. If you’re logged in but don’t see those options while you’re on your “Faculty Profile” page, contact David Etchison or John Zhu.

The only buttons you’ll use to update your profile are View (which is the default selection) and Edit. Click on “Edit”, and you’ll get a page with large text boxes. The “Description” field is what appears in the small gray strip beneath the green bar with your name. Then, make sure that your name is selected from the drop-down menu under “Faculty Member”. Then you can type in as much information as you want in the Publications, Presentations, and Grants text boxes. Once you insert information in these boxes, you’ll notice that the top of your profile will have links to those sections.

After the large text boxes, you’ll see two fields labeled “CV File” and “Bio-Sketch File”. This is where you can upload a PDF or Microsoft Word document of your CV. Select one of the three options under “CV File” (pick “Replace with New File” if you’re uploading a CV for the first time, or if you’re replacing an already-uploaded copy with a more recent version). Then click on “Browse” and select the file you want to upload. You can do the same for your Bio-Sketch File. When you’re done selecting your files, click the “SAVE” button at the bottom.

Another Way to Add Grants, Publications, and Presentations

There is an alternative way to insert your grants, publications, and presentations into your profile. Using this method will put that information on your “Faculty Profile” page. However, it is also more time-consuming and tends to make your profile page extremely long.

While you’re on your profile page and you’re logged in, there’re some menu items on the right in the blue strip. Click on “Add Item”, and you’ll see “Grant”, “Presentation”, and “Publication”. Select one of those, and you’ll get a page prompting you to put in information about the particular grant, publication, or presentation you want to add. You don’t need to fill out every field (required fields have a little red square next to them). Once you’re done, click SAVE at the bottom of the form. Then, when you go to your “Faculty Profile” page, you’ll see the information you just entered at the bottom of the page, below your contact info, bio, education, and research interests.

As you can guess, this is a pretty cumbersome process to go through if you have more than a just few items to add. So if you have a long list of publications, you probably won’t want to add them to your profile this way. But you can use this function to highlight some of your grants, recent publications, or important presentations.
