About
Overview: The ERA Winter Fellowship 2027 is a fully funded 10-week intensive research program hosted in Cambridge, UK. It runs from January 18th to March 26th, 2027, and focuses on understanding and reducing risks from advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, specifically in AI safety, AI governance, and technical AI policy. It offers a unique opportunity for talented individuals to work on real-world AI challenges, collaborate with experts, and network in a top academic environment. Coverage: This is a fully funded fellowship. Participants will receive a stipend of £10,000 to cover expenses. Additionally, the fellowship covers accommodation, meals during working hours, visa costs, and return airfare tickets. Fellows also receive expert mentorship, dedicated research management support, a dedicated desk space in Cambridge, and opportunities for networking, social events, and career transition assistance. Eligibility: The fellowship is open to international applicants from all countries, including Ethiopian students. Applicants must be 18 years or older. It welcomes students, researchers, and professionals. There is no strict academic background required, as it is a talent-first program that values potential beyond credentials. Requirements: The initial application stage primarily consists of short essay questions, which are estimated to take about two hours to complete. Specific document requirements beyond this are not clearly stated. How to apply: Applications are submitted online through the official website. The process involves several stages: 1. Stage 1 Application: Complete short essay questions. 2. Stage 1 Interviews: Top candidates (approximately 20%) will be invited for interviews in late September. 3. Round 2 Interviews: The most promising applicants will be invited for a shorter second round of interviews in early October, during which references will be contacted. After final acceptance offers, fellows will work with the program to develop their project ideas and be matched with mentors. Notes: The program is hosted in Cambridge, United Kingdom. It is a research-focused fellowship aimed at building a strong research profile and connecting with global experts in the field of AI.
