Join the global effort to advance neuroscience standards: Become a Co-Lead of the GA4GH–INCF neuroscience community

Are you passionate about shaping the future of neuroscience data sharing and standards? The Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH), in collaboration with the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF), is seeking a dynamic and experienced individual to serve as Co-Lead of the GA4GH–INCF Neuroscience Community.

This unique leadership opportunity places you at the forefront of global efforts to align neuroscience research with cutting-edge genomics standards. As Co-Lead, you will help drive a collaborative community that bridges the gap between researchers, clinicians, developers, and data custodians, all working together to ensure neuroscience initiatives benefit from GA4GH tools and frameworks. By helping to identify unmet needs, launch new projects, and foster consensus, you’ll play a vital role in making neuroscience data more FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) across institutions and borders.

Whether you are a neuroscientist, informatician, or policy expert with a strong background in leadership and data standards, this role offers a meaningful way to impact the global neuroscience landscape, and to do so alongside a dedicated, interdisciplinary team.

About GA4GH 
The Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) is a global standards development organisation dedicated to realising the potential of genomics in health. Supported by staff across five Host Institutions (Ontario Institute for Cancer Research, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Wellcome Sanger Institute, EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute, and McGill University’s Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Institute of Genomic Medicine), members of the volunteer community provide expert leadership to GA4GH Work Streams and Implementation communities.

Communities of Interest focus on exploring use cases, challenges, and successes related to real-world implementation of GA4GH standards within specific domains. Currently, these domains include rare disease, cancer, infectious disease, neuroscience, and clinical genomics. These communities aim to strengthen collaborations between users and developers to ensure that solutions are fit-for-purpose, increase responsible data use and interoperability, and connect international initiatives with common needs.

About INCF 
The International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) brings together a global community to facilitate neuroinformatics activities for standards and best practices development. Guided by the FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse) data management practices, the INCF helps promote open neuroscience while offering training to increase research transparency and reproducibility.
