She is scientific head of the [https://www.social.mpg.de/69231/tania-singer Social Neuroscience Lab] of the Max Planck Society in Berlin, Germany. She received her Phd in Psychology at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin in 2000. After a few years as a Post-doctoral Fellow in London, she became Assistant Professor in 2006 and later Inaugural Chair of Social Neuroscience and Neuroeconomics and Co-Director of the [https://www.zne.uzh.ch/en.html Laboratory for Social and Neural Systems Research] in Zürich. From 2010 to 2018 she was a Director of the Department of Social Neuroscience at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany. Her research focuses on the developmental, neuronal, and hormonal mechanisms underlying human social behaviour[1] and empathy.[2] Singer's Caring Economics: Conversations on Altruism and Compassion, Between Scientists, Economists, and the Dalai Lama was published in 2015.[3] She is the daughter of the neuroscientist Wolf Singer. In her role as an institute director, she has been involved in a bullying scandal,[4][5] in which she was accused of bullying and intimidating her employees. An internal investigation confirmed these accusations, resulting in the resignation of her position as a director in Leipzig.[6] Education and academic careerSinger studied psychology at the Philipps University of Marburg from 1989 to 1992. From 1992 to 1996 she studied psychology, media psychology and media counselling at the Technical University of Berlin, graduating with a M.S. (German: Diplom) in 1996. Between 1996 and 2000, she was a predoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin. After receiving her Ph.D. from the Free University of Berlin in 2000, she continued to work at the Max Planck Institute as a research scientist at the Center for Lifespan Psychology. After a period spent working first at the Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience and then at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience in London, UK, she moved to the University of Zurich, Switzerland, as an assistant professor. From 2007 to 2009, she was co-director of the Laboratory for Social and Neural Systems Research and in 2008 she held the Inaugural Chair of Social Neuroscience and Neuroeconomics at the University of Zurich. In 2010 she became Director at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany. In 2011, she received an honorary professorship from the University of Leipzig, Germany, and the Humboldt University, Berlin. She is also an honorary research fellow at the Laboratory for Social and Neural Systems Research at the University of Zurich. In 2019, she moved to Berlin as Scientific Head of the [https://www.social.mpg.de/69231/tania-singer Social Neuroscience Lab]. Research focusTania Singer's work examines human social behaviour using an interdisciplinary approach. In particular, her work focuses on social cognition, social moral emotions such as empathy, compassion, envy and fairness, social decision making, and communication. She is interested in the determinants of cooperation and prosocial behavior as well as the breakdown of cooperation and the emergence of selfish behaviour. Her research uses a range of methods including functional magnetic resonance imaging, virtual reality environments, biological markers such as cortisol, and behavioural studies.[1] Singer is a directors board member at the Mind and Life Institute and has worked with the French Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard to investigate brain activity during meditation.[2] Since 2013 she is the principal investigator of the ReSource Project on neural plasticity after mental training.[7] She investigates with a longitudinal design whether mental training has neural, behavioral, and hormonal effects and whether the subjective well-being and health is changed in participants. Another research focus is on how social cognition and motivations can explain human social interaction and human economic decision making. The new research programme, funded by the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) in cooperation with Professor Dennis J. Snower, president of the Kiel Institute of World Economy, explores new avenues of how psychological and neuroscientific knowledge about human motivation, emotion, and social cognition can inform models of economic decision making in addressing global economic problems.[1] In a paper published in the journal Science in 2004, Singer showed that some pain-sensitive regions of the brain were also activated when volunteers experienced their partners feeling pain.[8] In follow-up studies, published in the journals Nature and Neuron, she showed that empathy-related brain responses are influenced by the perceived fairness of others, and whether a target belonged to an ingroup or outgroup, respectively.[9] ControversyIn August 2018 media reported that Singer bullied and intimidated her employees for several years.[4][5] These allegations have not been investigated so far. Science Magazine also explicitly states that the cited mails are not available. "Singer’s lawyer says Singer never discriminated against pregnant women or any other group, and that events described by others "either did not happen or they happened very differently than described.""[4] Difficulties were brought up during a meeting with the scientific advisory board in February 2017 as a part of the institute evaluation. As a consequence, six meetings with a mediator in the first half of 2017 took place but brought no solution. Subsequently, an internal investigation confirmed the accusation, resulting Singer to resign from her director position.[6] Staffers also alleged scientific misconduct on Singer's part. They said she had pressured them to omit data from results that conflicted with or disproved hypotheses that they believed she had decided on before the research even began. The Max Planck Society told BuzzFeed that their investigation had found no evidence of that happening.[5] Awards and selected memberships
