Discovery Profiles

Use your Discovery Profile to showcase your academic excellence. It is your opportunity to showcase your research, professional, and teaching activities to potential collaborators, future students, and beyond.

Your Discovery Profile contributes to your professional presence online by publicly showcasing your research and teaching activities, advertising supervision opportunities to potential research students and providing your professional information to interested parties, such as potential funders or collaborators. Data from Te Waka Ruia Rangahau, Research Outputs, is also used internally for assessment and reporting purposes.

Who has a Discovery Profile?

Discovery Profiles is a public directory of academic staff, doctoral candidates and some professional staff at Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland. Honorary, emeritus and adjunct academics can also have a public profile.

Service division directors determine which professional, permanent, and fixed-term staff have Discovery Profiles. Professional staff (with their line manager's approval) can request a Discovery Profile via the Staff Service Centre.
