## **About Anthropic**

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

## **About the Anthropic Fellows Program**

The [Anthropic Fellows Program](https://alignment.anthropic.com/2024/anthropic-fellows-program/) is designed to accelerate AI safety research and foster research talent. The program provides funding and mentorship for cohorts of Fellows to work full-time on AI safety research. The program runs for approximately two months, with opportunities to extend for an additional four months based on progress and performance. Fellows are matched with Anthropic mentors to investigate research questions in areas such as Adversarial Robustness & AI Control, Scalable Oversight, Model Organisms of Misalignment, and Mechanistic Interpretability. We currently run this program on a twice-annual basis, and we aim to expand out the program or run similar efforts over time.

The program aims to expand the pool of researchers working at the frontier of AI safety by supporting engineers and researchers with strong coding or technical backgrounds in their transition into safety research. In recent months, our collaborations through Anthropic Fellows and similar programs have led to a majority of our research papers and new hires to our Alignment Science team.

## **About the role**

As Program Lead for the Anthropic Fellows Program, you will be responsible for designing, iterating on, and scaling the program's operations while ensuring Fellows have the infrastructure and support needed to produce high-impact research. This role combines program management and operational excellence to build one of the premier pipelines for AI safety research and talent development.

You'll work closely with senior researchers and operations teams across Anthropic to identify high-impact research projects, coordinate resources, and ensure smooth program execut
