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.

• We are looking for someone with a proactive attitude and good communication skills.
• Someone that can work in an (inter)national and interdisciplinary field.
• In this project, subsidized by HorizonEurope, you know how to meet deadlines, while at the same time putting the quality of research first.
• You know how to make decisions.
• You can combine your knowledge and skills with those of others.
• For this PhD project we are looking for a researcher with broad interests from any field.
• Knowledge of quantitative research methods is a requirement and a completed one Masters in Statistics, Psychology, Epidemiology, Biomedical Sciences, Medicine or Health sciences is an advantage.

The maximum salary for this position (32 - 36 hours) is € 3.677,00 gross per month based on full-time employment.

In addition, we offer an annual benefit of 8.3%, holiday allowance, travel expenses and career opportunities. The terms of employment are in accordance with the Cao University Medical Centers (UMC).
