PIBBSS Fellowship (Summer 2026)
The PIBBSS Fellowship is a 3-month program pairing researchers from fields studying complex and intelligent behavior (neuroscience, evolutionary biology, dynamical systems, economics, political theory, etc.) with AI safety mentors. Fellows work on a project at the intersection of their field and alignment.
The program runs June-September in London, with $4,000/month stipend plus housing support. Past fellows have gone on to positions at AI safety labs, UK AISI, academia, and independent research.
Deadline: January 14th, 2026
