Offer Description

Open Science is the movement that stands for a more open research practice. Over the past decade, interventions have been developed to promote a more open scientific research climate. Most of these interventions however have not been tested for their effectiveness. With the HorizonEurope funded OSIRIS (Open Science to Improve Reproducilibly in
Science) project, we investigate the effectiveness of those interventions.
Together with an enthusiastic and international research team you will work on
improving the reproducibility of science. You develop guidelines and tools with which you can promote researchers to make their work more reproducible.

This means that you:

  • Conduct literature research into ways to promote reproducibility;
  • Convert these methods into Open Science interventions and their effectiveness
    tests in an experiment;
  • Develop training materials based on the findings to ensure reproducibility
    promote.

This research takes place in Utrecht, Amsterdam and Leuven, with the aim to lead to a PhD defense.
