Award: $3,850/week stipend (USD) or £2,310/week (GBP) or $4,300/week (CAD), plus ~$15,000/month compute budget

Duration: 4 months per cohort (next cohorts start May 2026 and July 2026)

Deadline: Rolling / undated

Funded mentorship program for engineers and researchers to investigate Anthropic's highest-priority AI safety questions: scalable oversight, adversarial robustness and AI control, model organisms, mechanistic interpretability, AI security, and model welfare. Anthropic mentors pitch project ideas; fellows shape and execute them, aiming for public outputs (papers). Over 80% of the first cohort produced papers (on agentic misalignment, subliminal learning, ASL3 jailbreak rapid response, open-source circuits, etc.); over 40% subsequently joined Anthropic full-time. Looking for: strong Python, ability to make concrete progress on ambiguous problems, motivation to reduce catastrophic AI risks. PhD/prior ML experience NOT required; previous fellows came from physics, maths, CS, cybersecurity and other quantitative backgrounds. Two cohorts open: May 2026 and July 2026. The May cohort start is imminent so apply quickly; the July cohort is the more practical near-term option. Apply via the canonical Anthropic Alignment Science page.
