Conceptual Reasoning Fellowship

About this opportunity

Anthropic is inviting applications for its Conceptual Reasoning Fellow programme, a four-month research fellowship for experts in philosophy, cognitive science, economics, public policy and law who are interested in advancing the reasoning capabilities of artificial intelligence. The fellowship brings experienced researchers and subject-matter experts together with Anthropic's research teams to investigate complex questions that require expert judgment. Fellows will work with Claude, Anthropic's advanced AI model, to evaluate its capabilities, identify weaknesses and develop methods for improving its performance in specialised fields. The programme is scheduled to run from 12 January to 8 May 2027. Applications close on 28 October 2026, with offers expected to be made by 20 November 2026. Successful candidates will receive compensation ranging from US$100,000 to US$167,000 for the four-month fellowship, depending on the applicable arrangement, alongside other benefits.
