<div class="content-intro"><h2>About Anthropic</h2>
Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.</div><a href="http://bit.ly/anthropic-fellows">Apply using this link</a>. The next cohort of Anthropic fellows starts on July 20, 2026. Apply by April 26, 2026 to be considered for this cohort. We will continue accepting applications for later cohorts on a rolling basis. In exceptional circumstances, we may be able to accommodate fellows starting outside of usual cohort timelines.
This page is specific to one of the Anthropic Fellows Workstreams, see also the main&nbsp;<a href="https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/anthropic/jobs/5023394008">Anthropic Fellows posting</a>.
<h1>Anthropic Fellows Program overview</h1>
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.
Fellows 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). In one of our earlier cohorts, over 80% of fellows produced papers.
We run multiple cohorts of Fellows each year and review applications on a rolling basis. This application is for cohorts starting in July 2026 and beyond.
<h2>What to expect</h2>
<ul>
<li>4 months of full-time research&nbsp;</li>
<li>Direct mentorship from Anthropic researchers&nbsp;</li>
<li>Access to a shared workspace (in either Berkeley, California or London, UK)</li>
<li>Connection to the broader AI safety and security research community</li>
<li>Weekly stipend of 3,850 USD / 2,310 GBP / 4,300 CAD + benefits (these vary by country)</li>
<li>Funding for compute (~$15k/month) and other research expenses</li>
</ul>
<h2>Interview process</h2>
The interview process will include an initial application &amp; reference check, technical assessments &amp; interviews, and a research discussion.&nbsp;
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
<h2>Compensation</h2>
The expected base stipend for this role is 3,850 USD / 2,310 GBP / 4,300 CAD per week, with an expectation of 40 hours per week for 4 months (with possible extension).
<h2>Fellows workstreams</h2>
Due to the success of the <a href="https://alignment.anthropic.com/2024/anthropic-fellows-program/">Anthropic Fellows for AI Safety Research</a> program, we are now expanding it across teams at Anthropic.

<h1>Logistics</h1>
Logistics Requirements: 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.
Workspace Locations: We have designated shared workspaces in London and Berkeley where fellows will work from and mentors will visit. We are also open to remote fellows in the UK, US, or Canada. We will ask you about your availability to work from Berkeley or London (full- or part-time) 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.
Please note: We do not guarantee that we will make any full-time offers to fellows. However, strong performance during the program may indicate that a Fellow would be a good fit for full-time roles at Anthropic. In previous cohorts, 25-50% of fellows received a full-time offer, and we’ve supported many more to go on to do great work on AI safety and security at other organizations.
Applications and interviews are managed by<a href="https://www.constellation.org/"> Constellation</a>, our official recruiting partner for this program. Constellation also runs the Berkeley workspace that hosts fellows. Clicking "Apply here" will redirect you to Constellation's application portal. You can expect to receive emails from Constellation with application updates.

<h2>How we're different</h2>
We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI &amp; Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
<h2>Come work with us!</h2>
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
