Lightcone Research Fellowship

Remote programme; final summit in Paris. The current call states no nationality or residence condition; supervisor agreement and computing access are required.

Early-career researchers from any discipline need a specific project suited to using AI agents, with clearly defined work that can be ready for publication by spring 2027. Existing projects and nearly finished analyses are welcome. Applicants need access to their required computing resources and agreement from a PI or supervisor. Participants must be able to commit to the programme, use Lightcone tools for at least one scientific analysis intended for publication, join weekly cohort calls and give feedback on experimental tools. The project must allow experimentation; graduation or other critical deadlines should not depend on its success. The application asks about availability throughout the programme and attendance at the Paris summit. The current call does not state a nationality or residence condition; the programme is remote and does not promise a general living stipend.

1. Use the application form linked from the official call by 20 November 2026. Explain your research project, its current progress and aims; provide institution, career stage, computing-resource and other-group-member information. Confirm supervisor agreement and availability, including the Paris summit. Early applications are encouraged. Review the application form for its CV upload and full questions before submitting.
