AI Societal Impact Lab Autumn 2026 Fellowship: 8-10 weeks starting in mid/late September 2026

01 / Curriculum

The Fellowship is designed to bring out emerging voices working on socio-political implications of emerging AI technology. It will be run remotely for approx. 8-10 weeks starting in mid/late September 2026. AI Societal Impact Lab anticipates it will require four hours of time commitment per week: one hour on a weekly call and three hours of individual work. The concrete dates and programme details will be shared with shortlisted candidates.

02 / Eligibility

The programme is targeting recent graduates in social sciences and humanities, as well as early career researchers. However, AI Societal Impact Lab encourages diversity of both thought and representation, and would be happy to receive applications from other backgrounds (STEM, arts, etc.). Whilst previous experience on the subject of AI is welcome, it is not required.

03 / Benefits

Selected candidates will be part of the exciting mission to build a community of individuals that are not indifferent to the challenges posed by rapid technological advancement, receive mentorship from one of the fellows at the AI Societal Impact Lab, work on a group project, create their own analytical piece to be published on the the AI Societal Impact Lab website, and take part in dedicated workshops and seminars. 

Please apply by filling in this form

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the program is filled or 4 September 2026, whichever comes first. Spaces are strictly limited, so early applications are encouraged.
