Faculty titles are lowercase unless the title precedes a name.
Henry Jones, a professor of history
Professor of History Henry Jones
Assistant Professor of Neurology Jane Jones
Professor Jones
On subsequent references, faculty members are typically referred to by their surnames without an honorific title. (Phrases such as “Dr. Jones” or “Professor Smith” should be limited to material directly quoted from a speaker or as a form of polite address in specific presentations.)
Do not use the abbreviation “prof.” when referring to faculty
There are several ranks of faculty (assistant, associate, professor), and it’s important to note that they not be used interchangeably. All parts of the title should be capitalized when the full title is used before a faculty member’s name.
Refer to the online directory for academic title information.
Names of endowed chairs are always capitalized, whether accompanied by a personal name or not and whether they appear before or after the holder’s name.
Follow the Chicago Manual’s guidelines for descriptive titles, such as “historian,” “economist,” “philosopher,” “biologist,” etc., that often are used in academia (8.29) and for titles in apposition (8.20).
