Programs | Astra Fellowship | Constellation Institute Astra is Constellation’s flagship fellowship, built to accelerate AI safety research and talent. As AI advances at unprecedented speed, preparing for its risks is critical. Astra brings exceptional people into the field and connects them with leading mentors and research opportunities.
The Fall 2026 cohort of Astra will run from September 14, 2026 to February 5, 2027. Applications close on May 3rd at 11:59pm, Anywhere on Earth! Astra is a fully funded, 5 month, in-person program at Constellation’s Berkeley research center.
Fellows advance frontier AI safety projects with guidance from expert mentors and dedicated research management and career support from Constellation’s team. Over 80% of Astra’s first cohort are now working full-time in AI safety roles in organizations such as Redwood Research, METR, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind, the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, and the UK AI Security Institute.
This round, we want to go further: placing even more people into the highest-impact roles, and helping fellows launch new initiatives to tackle urgent but neglected problems. We’re looking for talented people that are excited to pursue new ideas and projects that advance safe AI.
You may be a strong fit if you: Are motivated to reduce catastrophic risks from advanced AI Bring technical or domain-specific experience relevant to the focus areas of empirical research and strategy & governance Would like to transition into a full-time AI safety role or start your own AI safety focused organization Prior AI safety experience is not required.
Many of our most impactful fellows entered from adjacent fields and quickly made significant contributions. If you're interested but not sure you meet every qualification, we’d still encourage you to apply. Strategy and Governance Stream For applicants who have strong familiarity with catastrophic risks from AI, are highly agentic, and are capable of working on difficult and unscoped problems.
Fellows will work on machine learning research in core technical safety topics, such as AI alignment, AI control, model evaluations, and scalable oversight. Empirical Research Mentors Strategy & Governance Mentors Alignment of Complex Systems Research Group Eli Lifland & Romeo Dean, AI Futures Project “Astra was a really important program for us.
We first started working with Daniel Kokotajlo through Astra, and the scenario we started developing during the program eventually became AI 2027 . After Astra, we also co-founded the AI Futures Project together. ” "I worked with METR during Astra, and joined METR’s policy team immediately after the fellowship.
Participating in Astra directly led to my current role. ” Aryan Bhatt, Redwood Research “Astra was an incredibly important opportunity. I was able to work closely with my mentor Buck, who taught me a lot about doing good research.
That eventually led me to my role at Redwood Research, where I now run an entire team. ” Martin Soto, Member of Technical Staff, UK AISI "I'm really glad I participated in Astra! Endless conversations (both with my mentor and everyone else at Constellation), ranging from theoretical alignment to frontier governance, were an invaluable source of learning, knowledge and opportunities."
Harry Mayne, Spring 2026 Cohort "Working with Owain Evans gave me the opportunity to learn how to conduct great empirical research and communicate it effectively. The mentors, organization, and cohort are constantly challenging your way of thinking and helping you develop into the best version of yourself as a researcher."
Yong Zheng-Xin, Spring 2026 Cohort "I love being part of a diverse community of smart and driven people, who all care deeply about AI safety. Being an Astra Fellow has given me direct access to experienced researchers, which has been incredibly meaningful for my growth." Andy Wang, Spring 2026 Cohort "Astra is everything a junior AI safety researcher could ask for.
The program surrounds you with talented people, abundant resources, and a culture that motivates you to realize your impact. Because of Astra, I am now confident that I can meaningfully contribute to AI safety." We provide the resources and support needed for fellows to pursue full-time research.
A monthly stipend of $8,400 for the duration of the program. ~$15K per empirical research fellow per month for compute. We provide support and guidance for international applicants navigating the visa process.
Ongoing collaboration at Constellation’s Berkeley research center, where you’ll have access to >300 weekly visitors and frequent AI safety focused convenings (e.g., shared daily meals, weekly seminars, workshops, table-top-exercises, conferences).
Mentorship & Research Management Weekly mentorship from senior experts and research management support from Constellation’s team (via 1:1s, small group meetings, office hours, Slack collaboration). Many fellows are expected to join organizations that are participating in Astra. Others are actively connected to opportunities across our network.
We also provide advisory services for fellows launching new projects and organizations (e.g., business operations, communication, hiring, fundraising & more). We’re looking for talented people that are excited to pursue new ideas and projects that advance safe AI.
