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 one of our 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 listed.
