Fellowship Jobs

21,577 open positions · Updated daily

Fellowship roles are at the forefront of innovation, with 2,385 positions available across AI, quantum computing, and interdisciplinary policy. The rapid influx of funding from universities, tech giants, and government agencies means hiring cycles are shorter and demand for researchers who can translate theory into practice is at an all‑time high.

Within the fellowship category, you’ll find research scientists, machine‑learning engineers, data‑science analysts, policy fellows, and quantum‑research associates. Responsibilities typically cover designing experiments, publishing peer‑reviewed papers, building prototypes, and securing grants, often in collaboration with cross‑disciplinary teams.

Salary transparency matters because fellowship funding comes from varied sources—stipends, grant budgets, corporate sponsorships—so knowing the exact compensation, equity, and benefits upfront enables you to compare opportunities, negotiate effectively, and plan your career trajectory.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are typical salary ranges for fellowship roles by seniority?
Junior Fellows usually earn between $60,000 and $80,000 annually, mid‑level Fellows range from $80,000 to $120,000, and senior Fellows or Principal Researchers can command $120,000 to $180,000 depending on funding source and institution.
What skills and certifications are required for fellowship positions?
Core skills include advanced programming in Python or R, machine‑learning frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch, statistical analysis, and research methodology. For quantum roles, proficiency in Qiskit or Cirq is essential. Certifications like AWS Certified Machine Learning or Google Cloud Professional Data Engineer add value.
Is remote work available for fellowship positions?
Many fellowships now offer fully remote or hybrid arrangements, especially in academia and industry labs that support distributed research teams. Remote setups are common for data‑science and policy fellowships, while lab‑heavy quantum positions may require periodic on‑site collaboration.
What career progression paths exist after completing a fellowship?
Typical paths move from Fellow to Senior Fellow or Lead Researcher, then to Principal Investigator or Director of Research. Successful fellows often transition into industry R&D leadership, startup CTO roles, or academic faculty positions, leveraging the network and publications earned during the fellowship.
What are the current industry trends affecting fellowship opportunities?
Funding is surging in AI safety, quantum computing, climate‑tech research, and interdisciplinary studies that combine science with policy. Open‑source collaborations, grant‑writing skills, and cross‑disciplinary fluency are increasingly prized, driving demand for fellows who can bridge technical and societal impact.
