Benefits
- A stipend of $15,000
- An in-person week in Washington, D.C., with eligible travel expenses covered, including flights, accommodation, and meals
- Close mentorship from our research staff and affiliates
- Q&A sessions with leading experts in the field
- Technology law and policy networking opportunities & career planning resources
- Opportunities to explore future collaborations, such as follow-on funding through grants, invitations to upcoming events, and potential project or job openings with LawAI
Eligibility
- We encourage applicants with various skill sets, experience levels, and degrees of knowledge in AI law & policy to apply. While candidates should be prepared to apply their research abilities and legal knowledge to questions in our field, prior experience or expertise in AI-specific research is not required.
- We welcome applicants from all countries interested in applying their skills to US law and policy. Past fellows have included:
- Graduate law students (e.g., JD or LLM), PhD candidates, and postdoctoral researchers
- Professionals transitioning into the field
- Legal academics
If you’re not sure about applying because you don’t know if you’re qualified or the right fit, we encourage you to apply anyway — we often find that some of the most promising candidates underrate their fit for programs like this.
- Ability to commit to full-time, remote-based work for at least 8 weeks, beginning on either of the start dates listed above. Note: We will also consider exceptional candidates who can only join part-time but for an extended period. Students whose classes resume during the fellowship may complete it part-time during the semester.
- Ability to attend the in-person week in Washington, D.C., on July 7-11.
