The Cambridge ERA:AI Fellowship is an 8 week research programme hosted in Cambridge, UK, with our winter fellowship starting on 2nd February 2026.

What we provide

• Full funding: Fellows receive a salary equivalent to £34,125 per year, which will be prorated to the duration of the Fellowship. On top of this, our fellows receive complimentary accommodation, meal provisions during working hours, visa support, and travel expense coverage.

• Expert mentorship: Fellows will work closely with a mentor on their research agenda for the fellowship. See our Mentors page to learn about previous mentors (but note that ERA mentors differ for each cohort as we match fellows with mentors once they are accepted).

• Research Support: Many of our alumni have gone on to publish their research in top journals and conferences such as NeurIPS. We provide dedicated research management support to help our fellows become strong researchers / policymakers in the field.

• Community: Fellows are immersed in a living-learning environment. They will have a dedicated desk space at our office in Cambridge and are housed together. There are regular social events and community activities throughout the fellowship.

• Networking and learning opportunities: We assist fellows in developing the necessary skills, expertise, and networks to thrive in an AI safety or policy career. We can facilitate introductions to many organisations in the field. In special cases, we also provide extra financial assistance to support impactful career transitions.
