The KU Leuven AI Safety Lab invites applications for five visiting fellowships.

Fellows join a multidisciplinary cohort of five and work on a project of their own, embedded in the Lab’s day-to-day research life.
Three months in residence at the Lab’s offices in Leuven, with a desk and access to KU Leuven’s libraries and facilities.
A monthly allowance of €2,000, covering accommodation and other living costs.
Formal status as a visiting scholar at KU Leuven — no employment contract; fellows remain responsible for their own tax and social-security situation.
Supervision and feedback from the Lab’s core team, and the opportunity to present work in progress at internal seminars.
The opportunity to present at the Lab’s annual conference and summer school.
