Description
About the Role
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.
As a fellow, you 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).
Responsibilities
- 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 (these vary by country)
- Funding for compute (~$15k/month) and other research expenses
What to Expect
We will conduct an initial application & reference check, technical assessments & interviews, and a research discussion.
Strong Candidates
- Are motivated by making sure AI is safe and beneficial for society as a whole
- Are excited to transition into empirical AI research and would be interested in a full-time role at Anthropic
- Have a strong technical background in computer science, mathematics, or physics
- Thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments
- Can implement ideas quickly and communicate clearly
Unique Candidate Criteria
You might be a particularly great fit for this workstream if you:
- Are motivated by reducing catastrophic risks from advanced AI systems
- Have experience with empirical ML research projects
- Have experience working with large language models
- Have experience in one of the research areas mentioned above
- Have a track record of open-source contributions
Logistics
To participate in the Fellows program, you must have work authorization in the US, UK, or Canada and be located in that country during the program.
Visa Sponsorship
We are not currently able to sponsor visas for fellows. To participate in the Fellows program, you need to have or independently obtain full-time work authorization in the UK, the US, or Canada.
Program Duration
The program runs for 4 months, full-time. If you can't commit to the full duration, please still apply and note your constraints in the application. We review these requests on a case-by-case basis.
