The department of developmental psychology is looking for a research assistant for the NWO-project “Mini Many Labs: Creating a shared infrastructure for collaborating within the Experience Sampling Method community to improve reproducibility”.
Function description
Researchers are increasingly turning to smartphone diary techniques, such as the experience sampling method (ESM) to understand the dynamic daily-life processes underpinning a range of psychological phenomena. ESM is booming, but remains a methodological wild west, where methodological challenges threaten transparency, reproducibility, and replicability. The Mini Many Labs project will create an open platform and infrastructure to advance collaboration and foster open and team science within the ESM research community, by facilitating collaborative research projects, embedding open science practices, and training within these projects, thus driving culture change in a field where open science is the exception not the norm. The initial set-up of the project will take place within the context of the Belgian-Dutch ESM Network, a large and dynamic group of international researchers using ESM to investigate mental health across the lifespan.
We are offering a position for 0.6-1.0 FTE for 8-12 months (the duration of your contract will depend on the hours you work per week), with flexible and negotiable tasks. Your contributions to resulting research outputs will be recognized with authorship, which we will support in preparing and finalizing as a team.
In this role, you will be the project coordinator of the NWO-funded Open Science project Mini Many Labs and will work closely together with the project members Dr. Eeske van Roekel, Dr. Dominique Maciejewski, Dr. Olivia Kirtley, Dr. Thomas Vaessen, and Dr. Vera Heininga. The overall goal is to develop a blueprint of an Open Science platform for collaboration in future ESM projects. There is a lot of room for creativity and your own input.
We also welcome applications from people who do not necessarily tick all the boxes and have an unusual resume. Gaps in your resume will not affect the evaluation.
What will you do?
Requirements
