Committee Position: Committee Member
Application deadline: 31 July 2025

We are seeking applications from the ESPE membership for a position as a member of the ESPE Summer School Steering Committee. The vacancy has arisen due to the current member, Prof Gary Butler, completing his term of office. The three-year appointments will start on 01/09/2025.

The main task of the Summer School Committee is to develop the programme for the Summer School and participate in the evaluation of applicants for the School. The successful applicants are expected to attend and participate actively in the Summer School. They will teach and be involved in mentoring the students. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet and impart your knowledge to paediatricians from across the world, while gaining valuable experience of different professional practices, cultures and teaching styles.

Applicants should have a wide knowledge of published literature in paediatric endocrinology in general and detailed knowledge in more than one specific area. Preference will be given to candidates whose interests are complementary to those of the current members of the steering committee. In addition, to foster diversity and inclusivity, the appointment will aim to ensure global representation and avoid having multiple committee members from the same country. It is important to note that candidates currently serving on another ESPE committee are not eligible to apply.

The workload consists of email communication and preparation work, attendance at the Summer School (travel support will be provided), evaluation of submitted applications, and face-to-face steering committee meetings every year (during the Summer School).

The appointment will be made by the ESPE Council following recommendation by the Summer School Steering Committee.
