See also the main **Anthropic Fellows posting**. ## Anthropic Fellows Program overview The Anthropic Fellows Program is designed to foster AI research and engineering talent. We provide funding and mentorship to promising technical talent—regardless of previous experience. Fellows will primarily use external infrastructure (e.g., open-source models, public APIs) to work on an empirical project aligned with our research priorities, with the goal of producing a **public output** (e.g., a paper submission). In earlier cohorts, over 80% of fellows produced papers. We run multiple cohorts of Fellows each year and review applications on a rolling basis. This application is for cohorts starting in July 2026 and beyond. ## What to expect - 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 (vary by country) - Funding for compute (~$15k/month) and other research expenses ## Interview process The interview process includes an initial application and reference check, technical assessments and interviews, and a research discussion. **We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every single qualification.** Not all strong candidates will meet every qualification as listed. We value diverse perspectives and encourage applications from underrepresented groups. ## Compensation The expected base stipend for this role is 3,850 USD / 2,310 GBP / 4,300 CAD per week, with an expectation of 40 hours per week for 4 months (extension possible). ## Fellows workstreams To expand the Anthropic Fellows program across teams, we anticipate significant overlap in skills and responsibilities across workstreams and will consider candidates for all workstreams by default. Some workstreams may include unique assessment steps; please indicate workstream preferences in the application. Current workstreams include: - AI Safety Fellows - AI Security Fellows - ML Systems & Performance Fellows - Reinforcement Learning Fellows - Economics & Societal Impacts Fellows This page is specific to one of the Anthropic Fellows Workstreams.
