The GovAI UK Summer Fellowship 2027 – Applied Track offers an exciting opportunity for emerging professionals and experienced practitioners seeking to contribute to the responsible governance and development of advanced artificial intelligence (AI). The three-month programme, scheduled to run from 7 June to 27 August 2027, will take place in London, United Kingdom.

GovAI is an organisation dedicated to helping decision-makers navigate the transition towards a world shaped by advanced artificial intelligence. Through rigorous research, professional development and collaboration with government, industry and civil society, the organisation seeks to strengthen the policies, institutions and systems needed for responsible AI governance.

The Applied Track is particularly suitable for individuals interested in contributing to AI governance through professional roles that do not primarily involve conducting research. Fellows will work on projects addressing practical organisational, policy and operational challenges within the AI governance ecosystem.

The programme welcomes applicants from diverse professional backgrounds, including government, academia, industry, startups, media and civil society. Relevant experience may include:

• Communications and strategic engagement.
• Public policy and advocacy.
• Events management and stakeholder engagement.
• Research and programme management.
• Organisational operations and administration.
• Fundraising and partnership development.
• Project coordination and implementation.

The fellowship runs for three months, from 7 June to 27 August 2027, at GovAI’s London office. Selected fellows will receive:

• A total salary of £14,000 for the fellowship period.
• Financial support towards travel to London.
• Weekday lunches at the London office.
• Dedicated office workspace.
• Professional mentorship and networking opportunities.
• Exposure to leading AI governance organisations and experts.

Applications are conducted through a three-stage selection process:
