  • 4 months of full-time research

  • Direct mentorship from Anthropic researchers

  • Access to a shared workspace (in either Berkeley, California or London, UK)

  • Connection to the broader AI safety and security research community

  • Weekly stipend of 3,850 USD / 2,310 GBP / 4,300 CAD + benefits (these vary by country)

  • Funding for compute (~$15k/month) and other research expenses

Fellows workstreams

  • AI Safety Fellows

  • AI Security Fellows

  • ML Systems & Performance Fellows

  • Reinforcement Learning Fellows

  • Economics & Societal Impacts Fellows

Unique candidate criteria

  • You might be a particularly great fit for this workstream if you:

    • Have an interest in economics or policy research; prior experience in this area is a plus but not required

    • Are adaptable and collaborative, able to take direction and contribute to team priorities rather than needing to pursue a predetermined research agenda

    • Are skilled at writing up and communicating your results, even when they're null or unexpected

    • Are passionate about translating research insights into actionable recommendations for improving AI systems and informing policy

Logistics

  • To participate in the Fellows program, you must have work authorization in the US, UK, or Canada and be located in that country during the program.

  • Workspace Locations: We have designated shared workspaces in London and Berkeley where fellows will work from and mentors will visit. We are also open to remote fellows in the UK, US, or Canada. We will ask you about your availability to work from Berkeley or London (full- or part-time) during the program.

  • Visa Sponsorship: We are not currently able to sponsor visas for fellows. To participate in the Fellows program, you need to have or independently obtain full-time work authorization in the UK, the US, or Canada.

  • Program Duration: The program runs for 4 months, full-time. If you can't commit to the full duration, please still apply and note your constraints in the application. We review these requests on a case-by-case basis. Please note: We do not guarantee that we will make any full-time offers to fellows. However, strong performance during the program may indicate that a Fellow would be a good fit for full-time roles at Anthropic. In previous cohorts, 25-50% of fellows received a full-time offer, and we’ve supported many more to go on to do great work on AI safety and security at other organizations.
