Anthropic Fellows Program Overview
The Anthropic Fellows Program accelerates AI security and safety research by providing funding and mentorship to promising technical talent for four months. Fellows work on empirical projects using external infrastructure (e.g., open-source models, public APIs) to produce public outputs like papers.
What to Expect
- Direct mentorship from Anthropic researchers
- Access to shared workspace in Berkeley, California or London, UK
- Connection to the broader AI safety research community
- Weekly stipend of 3,850 USD / 2,310 GBP / 4,300 CAD & access to benefits (benefits vary by country)
- Funding for compute (~$15k/month) and other research expenses
You may be a good fit if you
- Are motivated by reducing catastrophic risks from advanced AI systems
- Are excited to transition into full-time empirical AI safety research
- Have a strong technical background in computer science, mathematics, physics, cybersecurity, or related fields
- Thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments
- Can implement ideas quickly and communicate clearly
Strong candidates may also have:
- Contributed to open-source projects in LLM- or security-adjacent repositories
- Demonstrated success in bringing clarity and ownership to ambiguous technical problems
- Experience with pentesting, vulnerability research, or other offensive security
- A history demonstrating desire to do the "dirty work" that results in high-quality outputs
- Reported CVEs, or been awarded for bug bounty vulnerabilities
- Experience with empirical ML research projects
- Experience with deep learning frameworks and experiment management
Candidates must be:
- Fluent in Python programming
- Available to work full-time on the Fellows program for 4 months
Compensation
Expected base stipend is 3,850 USD / 2,310 GBP / 4,300 CAD per week (40 hours/week) for 4 months (possible extension).
