The Anthropic Fellows Program is a four-month, fully funded research fellowship with direct mentorship from Anthropic researchers. Fellows work on empirical projects aligned with Anthropic's research priorities using external infrastructure, aiming to produce public outputs such as papers. Five workstreams: AI Safety, AI Security, ML Systems and Performance, Reinforcement Learning, and Economics and Policy; safety topics include scalable oversight, adversarial robustness, mechanistic interpretability, and model organisms. FUNDING: a weekly stipend of USD 3,850 (GBP 2,310 / CAD 4,300), around USD 15,000 per month in compute funding, and other research expenses. ELIGIBILITY: fluent Python; available full-time for four months; strong technical background in computer science, mathematics, or physics; work authorization in the US, UK, or Canada (no visa sponsorship). Locations: San Francisco, London, Ontario, or remote within those countries. APPLICATION: rolling, via the Constellation portal; the process includes an initial application, reference checks, technical assessments, interviews, and a research discussion.
