Hello, and welcome to the new iGEM 2015 judging application form. We've created this form to simplify the process of applying to be a judge in iGEM. Judging is an awesome way to see the Giant Jamboree and allows you to interact with other senior members of the community behind the scenes.
Judging in iGEM is a lot of fun, but it does require a strong commitment. iGEM teams work incredibly hard on their projects over the summer, so we need people who are also committed to work hard evaluating them. If you can spend time during the summer learning about the judging process, time the week before the Jamboree evaluating team wikis, and time coming to the Jamboree, we would love to have you on board!
We're making a few changes to judging this year. We're de-specializing judging to eliminate separate evaluation committees. This means we need people who understand iGEM or who are willing to learn about it. We will provide educational resources to help people learn how to evaluate teams, and we will help you get up to speed if you are selected.
We're looking for:
iGEM Instructors and Advisors
People who have judged iGEM in the past
People in the synthetic biology industry
Synthetic biology researchers who are new to iGEM
Past iGEM participants who have graduated and gone on to further study
If you have colleages who you think should apply, please send them the link to this form.
If you're a student on a 2015 iGEM team, you can't apply to be a judge this year. But if you work hard and finish your degree, you can apply next year!
Thank you for filling out this form. We look forward to picking a strong judging team for 2015!
