Anthropic STEM Fellow

Job Summary

Anthropic, a leading AI research organization, is launching a four‑month fellowship for senior scientists with a PhD and several years of post‑doctoral or faculty experience. Fellows will work in small interdisciplinary pods to tackle grand challenges in their respective STEM fields, collaborating closely with Anthropic’s researchers and leveraging cutting‑edge Claude models. The program is designed to build real datasets, simulations, and evaluation tools that push the frontier of AI reasoning in areas such as mathematics, physics, life sciences, and engineering. The fellowship is a full‑time, fixed‑term contract that runs from January to May 2027, with a compensation package of $100,000–$167,000 USD for the entire duration (equivalent to roughly ₹3,000,000–₹5,000,000 annualized). Fellows are expected to attend a one‑week in‑person orientation in San Francisco and may work remotely within the United States if approved. Visa sponsorship is not provided; candidates must already hold valid U.S. work authorization. Applicants should possess deep domain expertise, a strong scientific judgment, and the ability to learn quickly. Prior machine learning experience is a plus but not mandatory. The role requires hands‑on use of Claude, the creation of rigorous evaluation frameworks, and collaboration with cross‑disciplinary teams to define and solve open problems that current AI systems cannot yet address.
