Astra is a fully funded, in-person program that pairs senior mentors with talented fellows to conduct research on AI safety. The program runs from September 2026 - February 2027. During that time, Astra fellows will develop and pursue research projects to reduce catastrophic risks from AI.
The strategy and governance stream is searching for applicants who have strong familiarity with catastrophic risks from AI, are highly agentic, and are capable of working on difficult and unscoped problems. Some mentors have additional preferences for fellows, such as having a strong background in policy or technical expertise. Over 80% of Astra's first cohort are now working full-time in AI safety roles.
Previous fellows working on Strategy and Governance have accomplished impressive work such as co-founding the AI Futures Project (authors of AI 2027 ); briefing senior, international stakeholders on AI verification; and contextualizing trends in AI progress. Most fellows will work with a mentor on topics related to the mentor’s research priorities. Mentor organizations include Forethought , AI Policy Network , and Coefficient Giving .
We are also excited to work with independent mentors who are starting new organizations or scoping out novel research directions in AI safety. To see the entire list of mentors, please visit our website . We expect a small number of fellows to pursue independent strategy research on a topic we think is exceptionally important in AI safety.
