In June of this year, Julia Vorhölter was awarded funding from the Heisenberg Programme of the German Research Foundation (DFG) for a position as Head of Research Group at the MPI. Her project, entitled “Sleep and Sleeplessness in Germany – Rethinking Agency, Knowledge, and Experience through Sleep”, builds on research conducted as a research fellow at the MPI (see selected publications below for more information). In addition to continuing her own research on sleep, she will also join forces with colleagues at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) to establish an interdisciplinary lab that brings together medicine and medical anthropology. The lab will be run in close collaboration with Patrick Jahn, Professor for Health Service Research at MLU.
