Jonas appoint­ed as Asso­ciate Fel­low of the Max Planck School of Cognition

Jonas Obleser has been appoint­ed as Asso­ciate Fel­low of the Max Planck School of Cog­ni­tion and will serve as Asso­ciate Fel­low from Octo­ber 2026 onwards.

The Max Planck Schools – A Joint Grad­u­ate Pro­gram of Ger­man Uni­ver­si­ties and Research Orga­ni­za­tions are a nation­al ini­tia­tive designed to pro­mote sci­en­tif­ic excel­lence across Ger­many. The inno­v­a­tive pro­gram enhances the appeal of the Ger­man research land­scape for out­stand­ing inter­na­tion­al doc­tor­al can­di­dates. By fos­ter­ing cross-insti­tu­tion­al and inter­dis­ci­pli­nary col­lab­o­ra­tion among lead­ing experts in their fields, the Max Planck Schools suc­cess­ful­ly attract top ear­ly-career researchers and con­tribute to the long-term strength of the Ger­man sci­ence sys­tem.

A great hon­or to re-con­nect with the Max Planck Soci­ety this way! — Jonas had led a Max Planck Research Group from 2010 to 2015 in Leipzig, Ger­many. As an Asso­ciate Fel­low, Jonas will con­tribute to the School of Cog­ni­tion e.g. by co-super­vis­ing PhD candidates.
