Help Shape the Future of Quality in Genetic and Genomic Healthcare Across Europe.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to high impact work that strengthens quality, supports harmonisation, and shapes professional standards across Europe (https://www.eshg.org/egt).

EuroGentest plays a central role in promoting quality in genetic services. The committee develops professional guidelines for genetic diagnostics, provides expert information, represents the genetic society in international forums, and contributes to ESHG’s policy work, particularly in relation to the IVDR.

We are seeking motivated candidates who are actively engaged in one or more of the following areas:

• Quality management: laboratory accreditation, best practice development, validation of genomic technologies, harmonisation of procedures, and implementation of quality frameworks in clinical genetics.
• Neonatal screening: expertise in screening workflows, quality assurance, health economic and clinical evaluation, reporting pathways, follow up processes, and emerging developments including genomics in newborn screening.
• Clinical genetics: commitment to delivering high quality, patient centred genetic services; development of clinical guidelines and variant interpretation standards; and the integration of genomic testing into clinical practice.

As a member of the committee, you will work alongside leading experts from across Europe to:

• strengthen quality standards in genetic and genomic testing,
• shape best practice recommendations and professional guidelines,
• support harmonisation efforts across countries and disciplines, and
• contribute to strategic initiatives that influence the future of genetic services.

The committee meets several times per year (virtually or in person), and members are expected to take an active role in discussions and ongoing projects.

We encourage applications from a wide range of professional backgrounds, including clinical and laboratory genetics, quality management, neonatal screening, bioinformatics, genetic counselling, public health, and related fields. Above all, we value enthusiasm, commitment, and a readiness to contribute.

Interested candidates are invited to submit a short motivation letter and CV to eurogentest(at)eshg.org.
