Summary

  • Anthropic is taking rolling applications for its 2026 Economics & Policy Fellows Program, with the next cohort set to start in late September 2026.
  • Four-month fellowships offer full-time funded AI research, mentorship from Anthropic experts, and about $15,000 a month in compute support, with publicly accessible outputs expected.
  • Weekly stipends are set at $3,850 in the U.S., £2,310 in the U.K. and C$4,300 in Canada, while fellows can work remotely or from shared spaces in Berkeley and London.
  • The track, run through The Anthropic Institute, targets research on labor markets, governance, cyber and biosecurity risks, and other economic and policy effects of advanced AI.
  • Applicants must know Python and already have work authorization in the U.S., U.K. or Canada—Anthropic said visa sponsorship is not available.
