PhD Science identity and open science (1.0 FTE) bij RUG | Noorderlink

The University of Groningen (Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences) is hiring a PhD student to Science identity and Open Science.

"“Science Identity” refers to how people view themselves as science persons. What aspects an individual considers to be relevant to their science identity is shaped by the norms of their discipline, as well as their experience of engaging in different types of science-related activities (called practices) and their (doctoral) training. A central aspect of doctoral training is the socialization of novice researchers into their disciplines via methods training. Recently many standard practices have been challenged by the Open Science movement, which advocates for science reform through new practices such as preregistration and open data sharing. In this research project we are interested in exploring the intricate relationships between science identities, disciplinary norms, and science practices by studying how doctoral candidates within psychology engage with open science practices in the process of their research training. The central research question that this project addresses is: How do science identities develop in relation to disciplinary norms, and how does this development influence the uptake of reform practices in psychology?"
