2026 Cambridge ERA AI Summer Fellowship Details

The Cambridge ERA:AI Fellowship is a 10-week research programme hosted in Cambridge, UK, with our Summer fellowship starting on 6th July, 2026.

During the Fellowship, ERA fellows develop and complete a research project on technical and/or governance measures to mitigate the risks posed by frontier AI systems.

They have the support of ERA’s research managers, mentors, and wider institutional network.

For 2026, we are especially excited about the following repositories of potential project proposals for our three streams:

  1. Technical AI Governance

  2. AI Governance

  3. Technical AI Safety

2026 Cambridge ERA AI Summer Fellowship Benefits

2026 Cambridge ERA AI Summer Fellowship offers:

  • 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.
