The IAPS AI Policy Fellowship will be a paid 3-month remote program with a two-week in-person component for 10 individuals to work on AI policy projects with a focus on the governance of frontier models, with the goal of building the skills and connections necessary to obtain a longer-term career in AI governance.
Dates and location. The fellowship will take place between July 8th and October 11th and can be performed from most countries. The program will be remote-first with a 2-week in-person period in Washington, DC, on July 8-19, where the fellows will meet the IAPS team and partner organizations, and settle on their projects.
Stipend and commitment. Each fellow will receive a $15,000 stipend (equivalent to $60,000 annualized) to work full-time on their fellowship project. Travel, accommodation and food costs for the period in Washington, DC will also be covered. Only in exceptional circumstances, we might consider part-time fellows.
Target audience. Anyone can apply to the fellowship. At the same time, we expect the most competitive candidates to be early- to mid-career professionals who want to pursue AI policy careers aimed at understanding and managing risks from advanced AI systems.
An international, remote-first organization. IAPS and our AI Policy Fellowship are remote-first, and we are excited to build a diverse, international cohort of fellows. Our staff hail from a wide range of countries, and we can legally hire in many places. Due to administrative and legal reasons, we are unable to hire in some locations, but this can vary substantially by individual circumstance, and we will follow up with you in case we have any limitations in hiring in your country. If you have questions about a specific country and whether we are able to hire there, please reach out to us at info@iaps.ai.
Fellows will work on the supervisor’s agenda. We expect fellows to be well-positioned to do work such as providing research assistance, distilling policy ideas to key stakeholders (e.g., government agencies), and co-authoring research and policy pieces (e.g., policy briefs, reports, op-eds).
