Mental Health Researchers Can Join the Metapsy Collaboration from All Around the World
Joining the Metapsy Maintenance Team
As an international and collaborative open science project, the Metapsy collaboration can be joined by researchers worldwide who want to contribute to our databases, tools, or infrastructure.
As part of our team, you can contribute to the maintenance of existing living databases, work on high-impact scientific publications created by our consortium, and develop or enhance existing tools.
Contributors can be located anywhere in the world. Applicants should bring some expertise in evidence synthesis methods: for example by having been (co-)author of at least one peer-reviewed publication in this field, or having similar qualifications.
In return, members of the maintenance team receive support from our network of clinical and methodological experts and may join co-authored publications of our collaboration.
Contributing New Databases
It is also possible to join the Metapsy collaboration as the principal investigator (PI) of a new Metapsy living database. To be added to Metapsy, databases must fulfill a set of methodological standards and be compiled according to the Metapsy data standard .
Feel free to contact us if you have an idea for a new living database or proposed additions to existing ones. Please note that we only consider new PIs who are willing to guarantee at least three updates of their database.
Internships
We also offer internships to suitable Master’s and Bachelor’s students. Internships typically involve working with the core team on maintaining the Metapsy databases and infrastructure. To provide suitable supervision and learning opportunities, internships are only partly remote, with workspaces provided at the VU Amsterdam offices.
