About this position

Postdoctoral Researcher in Open Science and Meta-Research at Radboud university medical center (Radboudumc), Nijmegen, Netherlands.

This 2-year postdoctoral position sits in the Department of Dentistry and focuses on Open Science, meta-research, research integrity, reproducibility, and responsible research practices. The project, Measuring and Promoting Open Science in Dentistry and Biomedical Research in the Netherlands, examines how Open Science practices are adopted across Dutch dentistry and biomedical research and evaluates strategies to promote transparent, reproducible, and accessible research.

The postdoctoral researcher will lead the scientific execution of the project in close collaboration with Dr. Maximiliano Cenci and an interdisciplinary team with expertise in Open Science, methodology, dentistry, epidemiology, implementation science, and statistics. Responsibilities include leading three work packages, conducting longitudinal meta-research using bibliometric and automated assessment tools, collecting and analysing survey and interview data, developing and evaluating a pilot Open Science training programme for early-career researchers, publishing in peer-reviewed journals, presenting at conferences, and contributing datasets, code, educational materials, and policy briefs in line with FAIR and Open Science principles.

The role is well suited to candidates with a PhD in Health Sciences, Biomedical Sciences, Dentistry, Epidemiology, Implementation Science, Meta-research, or a related field. Strong quantitative research skills, scientific publishing experience, familiarity with systematic reviews, bibliometrics, implementation research, survey or qualitative methods, and statistical programming in R are important. Excellent English, strong organisation and project management skills, and an interest in Open Science and research quality are highlighted.

Employment is fixed-term for 24 months at 36 hours per week, with salary scale 10 and a monthly salary range of €3,724 to €5,867. The vacancy closes on 13 August 2026. Interviews are scheduled for 21 August 2026 and 15 September 2026. Applicants should apply via the vacancy page and include availability in the cover letter if relevant.
