Fellowships and programs designed to support high-impact AI safety work 

Astra Fellowship

A fully-funded, in-person program pairing emerging researchers with senior advisors on focused 3-6 month projects in technical safety, governance, strategy, or field-building. 



Visiting Fellowship

A lightly-structured 3-6 month funded fellowship for full-time AI safety researchers to connect with the Constellation network and work from our Berkeley research center. 

Incubator

Our incubator seeks to build the next wave of organizations working on advanced AI risks. We provide four months of funding, operational support, and access to our expert network.

General Hosting & Visitors

We host short-term visitors and provide ongoing workspace and network access for select individuals and teams working on AI safety.

We provide ongoing access to our Berkeley research center for established individuals and organizations in our network whose work aligns closely with our mission and benefits from proximity to our network.

Constellation also offers short-term visits for AI safety and security talent – and for experienced professionals from other industries who are interested in contributing to the field.

“Constellation has been tremendously useful in my transition from cognitive science into AI safety research. I likely would not be where I am today without the support of Constellation's community and the Astra Fellowship.”
Erik Jenner, Research Scientist, Google DeepMind
“Constellation’s Visiting Fellowship was tremendously helpful for refining my views on AI safety and becoming a better AI safety researcher… I’ve learned about many interesting ideas at Constellation that went on to become highly influential, both to the field as a whole and to my own work.”
Alex Mallen, Member of Technical Staff, Redwood Research
“If not for Visiting Fellows, I probably wouldn’t have moved here long-term or gotten a job at Redwood—at least not within the year following Visiting Fellows.”
