Faculty Profiles

Your Feinberg Faculty Profile is the primary tool for documenting your career accomplishments and publicizing your work. The Feinberg Office of Communications uses your faculty profile as the single source for all biographical and professional information about you on Feinberg websites and maintains a searchable database of faculty profiles useful to a variety of audiences. Having an accurate and robust faculty profile helps you:

• Stand out to prospective collaborators, mentees and media
• Inform donors and funding organizations about your work
• Focus search results to the most trustworthy content (because it’s provided by you)

Data that appear on your profile are imported from a variety of sources. View the Quick Reference on Feinberg Faculty Profiles for an overview of the content and to learn how to make updates. You can edit much of the content directly by logging into the Feinberg Faculty Portal, which is also accessible by clicking the Edit My Profile link on your profile.
