Visiting Fellowship

A 3-6 month program for AI safety researchers to work from our Berkeley research center.

The Visiting Fellowship brings together researchers from nonprofits, universities, AI companies, think tanks, and governments. Fellows continue their work while connecting with leading researchers and finding collaborators. We cover travel, housing, meals, and office space.

Can I participate remotely?
No. Visiting Fellows are invited to work out of the Constellation's research center in Berkeley, CA with the general expectation that they will be at the workspace ≥3 days/week on average. We believe that in-person collaboration with over 100 researchers and experts is one of the main benefits of the Visiting Fellows program.
