The applications for the PIBBSS summer fellowship 2026 are now open, and I will be one of the mentors. If you want to work with me on the Learning-Theoretic AI Alignment Agenda, I recommend to apply. Exceptional fellows might be offered a paid research fellowship at CORAL after the programme, depending on available funding and other circumstances.

Requirements

• Applicants should be seriously interested in AI alignment and at least considering AI alignment research as a long-term career path.
• The typical applicant is a PhD student or postdoc in math or computer science. I do not require official credentials, but I do require relevant skills and knowledge.
• Strong background in mathematics is necessary. Bonus points for familiarity with the fields in the LTA reading list.
• Experience in mathematical research, including proving non-trivial original theorems, is necessary.
• Experience in academic technical writing is highly desirable. A strong candidate would have at least one academic publication, preprint or some other comparable work.
• PIBBSS may also have their own (mentor independent) acceptance criteria, which I'm not responsible for.

Programme Content

• The participants will learn about the LTA, see reading list and video lectures for reference (these will also be teaching materials).
