Apply here by April 19th for an August 17th start date. We are prioritizing projects that align with Astera’s focus areas, where our expertise and resources can meaningfully accelerate progress. The proposed work should be early stage and well scoped for a 12–18 month residency.
Projects should build things that people will actually use—tools, infrastructure, or insights with real pathways to adoption. In the long run, this work should advance outcomes that benefit society broadly. The majority of work should be open, accessible, and non-proprietary.
Residents should enable others to build on their outputs and be willing to share both what worked and what did not, so others can learn from the full arc of the work. The proposed work should be well matched to the people doing it. Residents should bring the relevant expertise, judgment, and agency, be aligned with Astera’s principles, and contribute positively to the intellectual and collaborative fabric of the Astera community.
