Create a faculty profile

Faculty profiles for all departments and programs reside in a central location (/content/nyu-as/as/faculty) to help minimize the occurrence of duplicate profiles for faculty. Faculty members who are associated with multiple departments share a single profile.

Before You Begin

Before you create a new faculty profile for a faculty member, please double-check the central faculty directory, and make sure the faculty profile you're about to create is NOT in the directory already.

If you found a duplicate faculty profile, please contact A&S Communications (as.communication@nyu.edu).

About Faculty Assets

All faculty-related assets (eg. photo, CV, book cover, research paper, etc.) should be uploaded to the faculty directory (/content/dam/nyu-as/faculty) in the Digital Asset Management (DAM). User should upload any faculty-related asset(s) prior to the profile creation. Faculty photo should follow Lastname-Firstname.jpg (eg. Doe-John.jpg) naming format while non-photo-related faculty asset(s) should follow Lastname-Firstname-Asset-Name.jpg (eg. Doe-John-CV.pdf, Doe-John-Book-Name.jpg, Doe-John-Paper-Name.jpg) format.
