Since then, four more professorship were announced using the same requirement:
"Our department embraces the values of open science and strives for replicable and reproducible research. For this goal we support transparent research with open data, open material, and pre-registrations. Candidates are asked to describe in what way they already pursued and plan to pursue these goals."
Today, another position has been announced using the same statement: Professur (W2) auf Zeit (6 Jahre/tenure track) für Klinische Psychologie und Psychotherapie. Jean-Claude Burgelman (Directorate General for Research and Innovation of the European Commission) says that “the career system has to gratify open science”. More and more universities add an explicit commitment to open science in their hiring practices.
