Apply using this link . The next cohort of Anthropic fellows starts on July 20, 2026. Apply by May 3, 2026 EOD PST 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.
Anthropic Fellows Program overview
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.
