How can I get current user's custom field, not the standard field.

For example, if i add a custom field "myposition", how can i get it in apex class?
UserInfo.getMyposition()  or  UserInfo.myposition  are both invalid.

The only supported methods for the UserInfo class are those in the documentation:

If you want to get custom fields from the user object, you will have to do a SOQL query. Eg:

String myPosition = [Select My_Position__c From User Where Id = :UserInfo.getUserId()][0].My_Position__c;
