PhD position in open science | Erasmus University Rotterdam

"The Brain & Cognition Team at Erasmus University Rotterdam seeks applicants for a fully funded 4 year PhD position on the project Open Science Reform: Past, Present, and Future, under the supervision of Steven Verheyen, Oliver Lindemann, and Rolf Zwaan. The position involves taking stock of the impact the open science movement has had on psychological science and investigating which further steps toward a transparent and inclusive science can be taken. To this end, you will perform both quantitative and qualitative research into the publication culture during the decade that followed the replication crisis to assess the impact of the various scientific reforms, and look into how publication policies and undergraduate education can be further shaped to promote responsible science. You are expected to write articles for an academic audience, develop tools or policies that can be implemented more broadly, and where possible to join or initiate team science projects, for instance through the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science or the Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training. The position is ideally suited for candidates who are interested in handling large data sets, and who are keen to engage with various stakeholders on how to better our discipline...."
