“Pivotal Research Fellowship Q1 2027 Applications Open (deadline November 1)” by Tobias Häberli, Elinor Oren

Advanced AI could go badly wrong for humanity. Pivotal exists to lower that risk. We try to find the strongest new researchers and put them to work on it with experienced mentors in our fellowship.

TL;DR:

15 weeks of funded, full-time AI safety research in London (January 18 to April 30, 2027), with everything you need to make your research go well: a dedicated mentor, a Research Manager, budget for food/housing/compute/travel, and a healthy £15-18k stipend.

Projects span technical safety, technical governance and AI governance. Apply by 23:59 Sunday November 1 (AoE). Apply here.

Know someone who might be a good fit? If you refer someone who gets accepted because of you, you’ll earn $1,000.

Our last 4 cohorts received an average peer recommendation of 9.0/10, and an average satisfaction of 8.7/10.

Fellows already rate the program highly but we’ve made Pivotal bigger and hopefully [...]
