Important Notes about Directory Entries

For college faculty : If your department affiliation is in any department besides MBS, SDS, FRI or BIO, you and researchers: You may have a "profile card" on the new college site and also detailed directory information on a different platform for your department. Please go here for more information about updating these other directory entries on older websites for most departments.

Computer Science and UTeach are served by separate websites, and you will need to contact your department/unit directly for updates to those sites.

Faculty can make changes in the new directory following what's using the information below. Names and titles, contact and location and areas of research only will appear on the college site for now, unless you are all faculty. Full directory information across sites for faculty in the Department of Molecular Biosciences, Statistics and Data Sciences or have a primary affiliation with the Sciences, Department of Physics*, School of Human Ecology* (including Department of Human Development and Family Sciences, Textiles and Apparel, and Department of Nutritional Sciences), Biology Instruction Office or and Freshman Research Initiative.
* Starred sites are being built now. There may be some delay.

For department/unit staff: If you are based in Astronomy, Integrative Biology, Neuroscience, Human Ecology, Marine Science, Chemistry , Physics, Mathematics, HDFS or Nutritionor Mathematics, please go here for more information about updating your departmental staff directory information.

Directory Service Portal Instructions

Current faculty , MBS, SDS and BIO staff and College of Natural Sciences dean's office staffstaff not noted above can go to the CNS Directory Service portal and log in with your EID: directory.cns.utexas.edu. Once authenticated, you will be redirected to your directory profile entry.
Use the blue "Edit profile" button to view the form where you may add, modify or delete information from your online directory entry. It is OK to ignore the "View on site" link, as this link will work only for faculty and staff of the dean's office, MBS, SDS, FRI and BIO.

4. Add to your profile: Profile additions are organized into four tabs. Required fields and tabs with required fields are marked with a red asterisk. You can switch between tabs with fields you've modified before saving without losing your changes.

5. Review All are encouraged to review and fill in:

Names and Titles, including photos: This section allows you to add a head shot photo (recommended photo size for web is no larger than about 1 MB, and a square. A head shot cropped to 2400 px by 2400 px works well). See more about directory photos below.

A title assigned to you in Workday (e.g., Professor) is already populated; this is viewable when you click "View on site. " If you have additional job titles (e.g., Biodiversity Center Director, Smith Regents Chair, Distinguished Teaching Professor), you can fill that in to ), ensure this is filled in "Additional Titles."

There is also a blank field called "Additional Information." If you have an honorary title (e.g., Smith Regents Chair, Distinguished Teaching Professor), use this space. Many tenured and tenure-track faculty also choose to use "Additional Information" to mention if they are currently recruiting graduate students or postdocs, or that they study a specific area that is not specified in "Research Areas" further down (see below). You can also opt . Limit text in this field. Staff are encouraged to leave this field blank.

Contact and Location: Add phone number, email address and other contact information you want to be publicly available on your directory page. You also can use this section to add office hours and to link to a professional website, such as a lab site, using the "link out button" section. Link text should be the website's name (e.g. "Zamudio Lab").

Especially for researchers and faculty:

The following tabs are useful for faculty and other researchers.

Academics: This section allows you to add a bio and degree/education information.

Research and Professional: Researchers can provide a brief (e.g., one-paragraph) description of their research here.

**Important** You will only be able to use pre-defined areas of research, fields of interest and centers and institutes, not select your own terms.

"Areas of Research" are summarized on this list of layperson-friendly terms used across the College of Natural Sciences.

"Fields of Interest" are determined at the department level when new websites are built for departments that have tenured/tenure-track faculty. Two departments, MBS and SDS, Departments that currently have fields of interest in place are listed below, and you can select from these.
a) Department of Molecular Biosciences list of fields of interest are listed here.
b) Statistics and Data Science fields of interest are listed here .
c) Nutritional Sciences faculty can select fields of interest are listed here.
d) Human Development and Family Sciences fields of interest are listed here.
e) Physics fields of interest are listed here.

"Centers and Institutes" captures research centers, consortia and institutes at UT Austin. Find a list of centers and institutes here.
