Anthropic STEM Fellow

Anthropic's mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems that are safe and beneficial for users and society.

The Anthropic STEM Fellows Program brings researchers and experts from across science and engineering into Anthropic for four months to tackle grand challenges in their fields with Claude.

As a Fellow, you will work in a small pod with others from related fields, meeting weekly with Anthropic researchers to share methods, pressure-test ideas, and build on each other's work.

Key Responsibilities:

• Set grand challenges for your field, identifying long-horizon open problems where Claude falls short of expert judgment
• Build comprehensive datasets, simulations, and evaluations to test whether models can plan experiments, interpret data, and reason about mechanisms
• Apply Claude to open problems in your domain, using test-time compute strategies and integrating scientific tools and software

Requirements:

• PhD in a STEM field with several years of experience
• Hands-on experience using Claude and Claude Code
• Excitement about AI's potential to reason well about hard questions in your field
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced atmosphere and delivering concrete results
• Existing authorization to work in the United States

Logistics:

• Program runs from January 12th to May 8th, 2027, full-time
• Applications open until October 28, 2026
• One-week in-person orientation in San Francisco
• Default location is San Francisco, with remote engagement considered within the US

Compensation:

• $100,000–$167,000 USD for the four-month fellowship
