About the job

The Anthropic STEM Fellows Program brings students and experts from STEM domains into Anthropic for a few months to work alongside our research teams. Fellows pair deep domain expertise with our frontier models and internal tooling to evaluate, improve, and apply Claude's capabilities in their field.

Responsibilities

Designing rigorous, hard-to-game evaluations that measure whether models can plan experiments, interpret data, and reason about mechanisms in your field, and systematically finding where they're confidently wrong.

Identifying or creating data and techniques that target capability gaps.

Applying Claude to open problems in your domain, by using various test-time compute strategies and integrating relevant scientific tools/software.

Qualifications

Minimum

Hold (or are completing) a PhD in a STEM field, or have equivalent research experience.

Are familiar with using Claude and Claude Code as part of their day-to-day workflow.

Are comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-agency atmosphere for a few months and delivering concrete results.

Preferred

Prior machine learning experience is helpful but not required — scientific judgment and a willingness to learn quickly matter more.
