IAPS AI POLICY FELLOWSHIP (FULLY FUNDED)

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: February 2nd, 23:59 Pacific Time

LOCATION: USA

The IAPS AI Policy Fellowship is a fully funded, three-month program for professionals from varied backgrounds seeking to strengthen practical policy skills for securing a positive future in a world with powerful AI. Fellows join IAPS to conduct an independent AI policy project, with mentorship from a leading expert in the field. Each fellow is paired with a mentor, either from the IAPS team or from within in our network.

ELIGIBILITY:

They welcome applicants with policy and technical backgrounds (e.g., industry, government, think tanks) at various seniority levels. Fellows range from those in the middle of their undergraduate studies to those with decades of experience. The common thread is a solid understanding of their subject matter, the AI policy priorities IAPS focuses on, or both.

Fellows work independently on projects such as writing policy memos and reports, briefing government officials, and organizing ambitious convenings. They have weekly meetings with their mentor and an IAPS manager and present their work in the final week.

All fellows will begin the program with a two-week in-person residency in Washington, D.C. (June 1–12), where they will connect with the full IAPS team and partner experts. During this time, fellows will meet with their expert supervisor, participate in trainings on AI systems and policy challenges, workshop their fellowship projects, and take part in a range of events—including roundtables, policy briefings, and informal networking gatherings.

For fellows based in D.C. throughout the program, IAPS will offer office space and regular in-person events to support ongoing collaboration and engagement.

IAPS welcomes remote fellows from many countries and provides multiple ways to stay connected and engaged. Every fellow (D.C. or remote) receives a support budget that can be used for in-person opportunities, such as attending conferences or meeting with their assigned expert.

As a remote-first organization, IAPS has the systems and experience to fully support remote participation and is able to legally hire in many countries.

Dates and Location: June 1st to Aug 21st, D.C. or remote

Applicants may choose to do the fellowship fully in person in D.C. or remotely.

All fellows will come together for a required in-person residency in D.C. on June 1-12.

BENEFIT:

Senior Fellows will receive $22,000, and Fellows will receive $15,000 as a stipend to work full-time during the 3-month program.

They can provide part-time options for exceptional candidates.
