Conceptual Reasoning Fellow

<div class="content-intro"><h2><strong>About Anthropic</strong></h2> <p>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.</p></div><h1>Program Overview</h1> <p>Many of the questions that will shape our future have no single checkable answer. Reasoning well about them, whether in law, policy, philosophy, economics, cognitive science, or AI safety itself, takes the kind of judgment experts spend years building. We believe frontier AI, developed safely, can become a real partner on these questions, but getting there means working closely with the people who know these fields best.</p> <p>This fellowship brings researchers and experts from <strong>philosophy, cognitive science, economics, policy, and law </strong>into Anthropic for four months to work alongside our research teams. Fellows pair deep domain expertise with our frontier models and internal tooling to evaluate, improve, and apply Claude's capabilities in their field.</p> <h3><strong>What to Expect:</strong></h3> <ul> <li>A concrete, scoped project matched to your background, with mentorship from Anthropic researchers.</li> <li>Access to frontier Claude models and internal evaluation tooling.</li> <li>A cohort of incoming Fellows to collaborate with and a connection to Anthropic's broader research community.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Compensation:&nbsp;</strong></h3> <p>$117,000–$167,000 USD for the four-month fellowship (equivalent to $350,000–$500,000 USD annualized), and other benefits.</p> <h1>Key responsibilities</h1> <ul> <li>Identifying key open problems in your field, assessing approaches to solving them, and using Claude to make progress on them.</li> <li>Identifying grand societal challenges which the expertise of your field is crucial
