Astra Fellowship
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.
