Join the growing ZPID team at the forefront of the open-science movement! Current opening:
Doctoral Student Research Data Competencies (m/f/d)
(salary group TV-L E 13, 75%, initially limited to 4.5 years)
Preferred start date is May 1st, 2021 or later.
Duties and functions:
With this position as a doctoral student at ZPID you will become part of a broader consortium for the Social, Behavioural, Educational, and Economic Sciences (KonsortSWD). The mission of this consortium is to develop a research data infrastructure for the study of human society.
Against this background, one primary goal of this consortium is to promote the socio-cultural change toward the provision of FAIR data, and, more generally, data sharing within these disciplines. You will contribute to reach this goal by fostering research data management (RDM) skills of researchers, students and staff in research data centers (RDCs) alike.
In particular, you will develop during your PhD a training measure to impart competencies for handling research data. Correspondingly you will help to develop and implement an RDM online tutorial and webinar for students. In order to ensure the quality of RDM training in the long term, you will help to develop recommendations for higher education institutions based on the developed training materials and programs. Afterwards, you will reach out to universities and higher education institutions to propagate the measure and the recommendations. Moreover, you will be involved in teaching RDM seminar sessions at around ten universities as well as organizing and conducting a free-of-charge RDM workshop for RDC staff.
Besides your duties within the KonsortSWD you will support the RDC at ZPID by conceptualizing and conducting training programs for the RDC staff and interested staff members from other departments.
Regularly publishing results originating from your work in scientific journals and discussing results within the relevant scientific communities is expected.
