TUM - Vacancy: Research Fellow in Science Studies and/or Science Policy (100% for 20 months, fixed term)

"The successful applicant will be responsible for WP5: Implications for science and science policy, which aims to develop recommendations that translate the philosophical framework created by the project into actionable policy. The project findings so far, as well as Leonelli’s overall body of work, point to the critical importance of taking diversity into account when selecting research directions and providing baselines for what counts as good research practice and outcomes. These are serious concerns for scientific governance and related policy, especially at a moment where questions of identity, inclusivity and locality threaten international initiatives and transnational networks. WP5 will explore global standards for OS practice, OS measures to improve capabilities within diverse research environments, and ways in which policy discourse on OS could be modified in response to the findings of the project. The Research Fellow will also be invited to reflect on the nature and implications of attempts to create bridges and connections between science policy and philosophical and empirical research in science studies, thereby helping to develop methodologies of relevant to this relatively novel endeavor...."
