Employment

The Employment section of the Personal Profile lets you view, add, or update your research and professional employment history for current and past employment.

The Employment section is considered complete if:

• PI and IAR roles: Personal Profile contains employment for the past 3 years
• Trainee roles: Personal Profile contains at least one employment entry
• Admin roles: Personal Profile contains at least one current employment entry

All Commons users have access to the Employment section of the Personal Profile.

IMPORTANT: To save any profile changes, you must click the Save All button, which is located at the top right of the screen.

If you save while errors exist, changes are NOT saved and you see an error message.
