Application Deadline: May 7th, 2025, 12 PM Eastern Time
The Institute for AI Policy and Strategy is inviting applications for a fully-funded, three-month program for professionals from varied backgrounds seeking to strengthen practical policy skills for managing the challenges and opportunities of advanced AI. The program will run from September 1 to November 21, 2025, in Washington, D.C., and remotely.
Fellows work with designated experts on projects that will influence national and global AI policies. Key policy fields include national security implications of AI, government acquisition and procurement of AI, CBRN capabilities of AI models, export controls, evaluations, geopolitics of AI, hardware-enabled mechanisms, jurisdictionally-focused policy questions (e.g., U.S., U.K., and E.U.), among several others.
Fellows’ projects can have a variety of formats depending on each expert and fellowship coordinator, and will be set in partnership with each fellow. In general, fellows are expected to finalize advanced drafts of policy writing, lead presentations or events for key stakeholders, or produce smaller outputs responding to short-term policy opportunities. These concrete outputs help strengthen fellows’ AI policy track record while achieving impactful outcomes.
Benefits
- Weekly one-on-one coaching from an IAPS Fellowship Coordinator focused on career development, project management, and productivity;
- Ongoing support from IAPS researchers and policy staff, including direct feedback on their projects, such as via weekly work-in-progress sessions;
- Access to our professional network to help identify opportunities across sectors; and
- Additional financial assistance, in select cases, to support career transitions after the program.
