Looking for interesting summer research opportunities? Want to get involved in studying existential risks?

Applications are now open for the Stanford Existential Risks Initiative (SERI)’s summer research fellowship, which funds 10-week full-time academic research projects dedicated to mitigating existential risks. SERI emphasizes building a community of existential risk researchers via speaker events, discussion groups, social events, etc. Students will work with a mentor (a faculty member, postdoctoral scholar, or industry expert), who will provide weekly advising along with guidance on projects and their design.
