Important: If your college department or unit website launched before January 2022, your main directory information exists on another platform: Please go here for more information about updating legacy directory entries. You can make changes to the directory below that appear on your card on the college site, but details will not appear across websites until your department site is on the same platform.
Current faculty and College of Natural Sciences dean's office staff can go to the CNS Directory Service portal and log in with your EID, if prompted.
Once authenticated, you will be redirected to your directory profile entry.
2022 Directory Service Portal Instructions:
- Use the blue "Edit profile" button to view the form where you may add, modify or delete information from your online directory entry. The "View on site" link allows you to see how your directory profile as it will appear on your department site.
- 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.
Review and fill in:
Names and Titles: 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). 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 titles (e.g., Biodiversity Center Director, Smith Regents Chair, Distinguished Teaching Professor), you can fill that in to "Additional Titles."
There is also a blank field called "Additional Information." Many tenured and tenure-track faculty 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 departmental "Fields of Interest" further down (see below). You can also opt 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").
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 all across the College of Natural Sciences.
"Fields of Interest" are determined at the department level as new sites are built. Find:
- the Department of Molecular Biosciences list of fields of interest here
- Statistics and Data Science fields of interest here
"Centers and Institutes" captures research centers, consortia and institutes at UT Austin. Find a list of centers and institutes here. - Click the "Save" button to update your profile with your changes. The updated information will appear right away on department sites created on or after June 2022 (e.g., Department of Molecular Biosciences, etc). To view it there, you may need to reload your public-facing profile page while holding down shift key (in desktop browser); a fresh copy of your profile from the server should be viewable then, since this clears browser cache.
