Description
The University of Chicago’s XLab Summer Research Fellowship 2026 is a 10-week, in-person program for students and early-career researchers focused on AI safety, nuclear security, or their intersection.
- Fellows independently develop and lead a research project, with mentorship from domain experts and support from a cohort of peers.
- All participants receive a $10,000 stipend, University of Chicago dorm housing, a full meal plan, and technical fellows get $4,000 in compute/API credits.
- The program includes workshops, Q&A sessions with policy practitioners, and opportunities for continued involvement with XLab.
- Only applicants with US work authorization (citizens, permanent residents, or international students currently studying in the US) are eligible; the program cannot sponsor visas.
