Pretty straight forward, heres how I usually do it.

		
			$username = get_field('your_user_field_name'); // this gives us an array of all user data.. 		
			$userID = $username['ID'];   // grabs the user ID
			// this could be a custom ACF field you added to the user screen
			$jobtitle = get_field('custom_user_field', 'user_'. $userID );			
		
			// grabs corresponding social info from user account
			$theemail = get_the_author_meta('user_email', $userID); 
			$linkedin = get_the_author_meta('linkedin', $userID); 
			$twitter = get_the_author_meta('twitter', $userID); 
			$gplus = get_the_author_meta('googleplus', $userID); 

You can look up get_the_author_meta for all of the other options available as well.

Edit: some screenshots.. This assumes you are using the actual “User” field type from ACF.
