• Description:

    The Institute for Law & AI’s (LawAI) Summer Research Fellowship (US) is a paid summer program that offers law students, professionals, and academics the opportunity to work at the leading edge of AI law and policy. The program is designed to support intellectual and professional development, combining tailored research mentorship with career planning and opportunities to engage with policymakers, researchers, and other leaders in the field.

    Our goal is to empower the experts of today and tomorrow, ensuring that advances in artificial intelligence are beneficial and safe for everyone. With this vision in mind, we welcome applicants with diverse skill sets, experience levels, areas of expertise, and degrees of knowledge in AI law and policy.

    Eligibility 

    • We encourage applicants with various skill sets, experience levels, and degrees of knowledge in AI law & policy to apply. While candidates should be prepared to apply their research abilities and legal knowledge to questions in our field, prior experience or expertise in AI-specific research is not required. 
    • We welcome applicants from all countries interested in applying their skills to US law and policy. Past fellows have included: Graduate law students (e.g., JD or LLM), PhD candidates, and postdoctoral researchers, Professionals transitioning into the fiel, Legal Academics

    If you’re not sure about applying because you don’t know if you’re qualified or the right fit, we encourage you to apply anyway — we often find that some of the most promising candidates underrate their fit for programs like this.

    • Ability to commit to full-time, remote-based work for at least 8 weeks, beginning on either of the start dates listed above. Note: We will also consider exceptional candidates who can only join part-time but for an extended period. Students whose classes resume during the fellowship may complete it part-time during the semester. 
    • Ability to attend the in-person week in Washington, D.C., on July 7-11.
