iGEM's Judging Committees are Recruiting new members for 2021!

Do you have judging experience in iGEM? We are recruiting new members for both of our Judging leadership committees for 2021! The Judging Corps Committee (JCC) and the Judging Program Committee (JPC, formerly known as the Executive Judging Committee) both work to improve the judging experience in iGEM for both judges and teams. See below for more details about the roles and requirements for each committee, and to find the applications and deadlines.

Please note, these are not applications to serve as a judge during the 2021 Giant Jamboree. More information about applications to serve as a judge will be released later in the year.

Join the iGEM Judging Corps Committee (JCC)

Our committee is charged with recruiting, training and maintaining the judging cohort and community year on year. This includes recruiting and evaluating judge applicants, educating and training judges in preparation for the Giant Jamboree, evaluating judging feedback to help improve the judging experience and maintaining a judging community that carries on year after year. The main responsibility of the committee is to ensure a happy judging community that wants to participate in the judging process year on year!

We are looking for applicants with 2+ years of iGEM Judging experience. 

Deadline: February 26, 2021 by 23:59PM EST

Join the iGEM Judging Program Committee (JPC)

The iGEM Judging Program Committee (formerly known as the Executive Judging Committee) is charged with running, updating, maintaining, and managing the judging program within the iGEM Competition.

Membership in the JPC will likely require stepping back from normal judging activities.
