Expert network · Frontier lab, four-month expert fellowships
Anthropic
Anthropic runs two fellowships for experts outside machine learning: the STEM Fellows (science and engineering PhDs with post-doc or faculty years) and the Conceptual Reasoning Fellows (PhDs or equivalent research experience in philosophy, cognitive science, economics, policy or law). Fellows work full time for four months in small pods with Anthropic researchers, defining the hardest open problems in their field and building the datasets, simulations, evaluations and RL environments that test and train Claude on them. Anthropic says the problems its first cohort of more than 20 STEM Fellows built (June to September 2026) now feed Claude's training. Only these two fellowships are listed here; Anthropic's staff jobs and its separate AI-safety research Fellows Program are not.

A fixed-term, full-time contract from 12 Jan to 8 May 2027 (some may be extended), engaged through an employer of record rather than employed by Anthropic directly. Applications closed on 28 Oct 2026, as both postings said when read on 29 Oct 2026, with offers planned by 20 Nov; later stages include a take-home exercise and conversations with its research team. Both postings were off Anthropic's board when it was read on 1 Nov 2026.

United States, and for the Conceptual Reasoning Fellows also the UK in some cases: fellows in the US need US work authorization for the whole program and Anthropic does not sponsor visas for them. The default place is San Francisco, with remote work from within the US considered in some cases; the Conceptual Reasoning posting also lists London and considers fellows working in the United Kingdom in certain circumstances. Everyone attends a one-week orientation in San Francisco (postings read 29 Oct 2026).

What Anthropic pays
Platform-stated · as of 2026-11-01Researched rate card, platform-stated, as of 2026-11-01
From both fellowships' Greenhouse postings (job-boards.greenhouse.io/anthropic/jobs/5452403008 and 5447080008, both last updated 28 Oct 2026, read 29 Oct 2026): 'Compensation: $100,000–$167,000 USD for the four-month fellowship (equivalent to $300,000–$500,000 USD annualized), and other benefits'. These are the terms of the January 2027 cohort: both postings came off Anthropic's Greenhouse board after applications closed on 28 Oct 2026 (its board, read 1 Nov 2026, no longer lists them, and both addresses lead back to the board), and Anthropic has published no pay for a later cohort. The pay is for the whole fellowship, not an hourly rate, so it is not converted to one here.
