Anthropic Launches STEM Fellow Program for Summer Research in San Francisco

CoinDesk reports that on April 21 (UTC+8), according to monitoring by Beating, Anthropic has posted a position titled “Anthropic STEM Fellow.” This is a summer in-residence researcher program for STEM researchers, running from June 15 to September 15, with applications closing on May 15. Selected fellows are required to work full-time at Anthropic’s San Francisco office and will receive a stipend of approximately $3,800 per week. Anthropic expects these resident fellows to collaborate with internal teams on three key objectives: designing more robust scientific evaluations for Claude that are harder to game, assessing its ability to plan experiments, interpret data, and understand specific mechanisms; filling data and methodological gaps with targeted focus; and integrating scientific software to enable the model to operate within real research workflows. Examples cited by the company include materials science and climate science. The job description frames the goal as developing an “AI scientist”—an AI system capable of independently advancing scientific research.
