Preparing a focused application
Choose a research question you can explain without specialist shorthand. State why it matters, which legal materials you would examine and what a useful output could look like. Your proposal does not need to promise a sweeping solution to AI regulation. It should show careful reasoning and an understanding of the relevant legal context. Prepare to discuss how you would narrow the project if the available evidence or time required it.
Frequently asked question
Is this a fully remote fellowship?
Cambridge participation is strongly encouraged, and the convening is required. Remote exceptions are assessed case by case.
