A research programme offered by Frontier AI in United Kingdom.
The organiser describes this as fully funded. On this site that means tuition and accommodation are recorded as covered; flights are left as not stated until we have confirmed them, because they vary between programmes that use the same phrase. This is aimed at applicants at Postdoctoral level.
Before you apply
Open the official page and confirm three things: that the deadline still stands, that you meet the eligibility criteria as they are written there, and what documents you will need. Applications fail more often on a missing document than on a weak candidate.
Every detail here is checked against the organisation's own page, and that page is the authority: deadlines move, eligibility is rewritten, and programmes are withdrawn without announcement. Confirm before you apply.
How to apply
Applications are made through the form linked from the residency's own site at securefrontier.ai. There is no fee.
The residency runs two tracks — applied cybersecurity and hardware security — and takes roughly ten to fifteen residents on each. Say which track you are applying to and show concrete work: this is a research and engineering programme, and the selection is made on what you have built or broken rather than on where you studied.
It is eight weeks in person in Cambridge, full time. It cannot be done remotely or part time.
What you will need
- CV
- Track preference
- Description of relevant technical work
- Answers to the application questions
Eligibility notes
Open to applicants from anywhere. Costs are covered for the eight weeks in Cambridge.
Details can change without notice. Confirm everything on the organisation's own page before you apply — see our disclaimer. Spotted something out of date? Tell us.
