Horizon Institute for Public Service (AI and Biosecurity)

If you're interested in a DC-based job tackling tough problems at the intersection of biosecurity, emerging technology, and national security, consider applying to the Horizon fellowship.

What do you get?

The fellowship program will fund and facilitate placements for 1-2 years in full-time US policy roles at executive branch offices, Congressional offices, and think tanks in Washington, DC. Past placements include the various biosecurity-focused Congressional and Executive Offices, the Center for Health Security, and more. It also includes ten weeks of remote, part time policy-focused training, mentorship, and an access to an extended network of emerging tech policy professionals.

Who is it for?

The fellowship has opportunities for both entry-level and mid-career roles, and for both people with and without policy experience. Training is remote, so current undergraduate and graduate school students graduating by summer 2024 are eligible to apply. You must have the right to work in the US without employee sponsorship (such as being a US citizen or on OPT), be able to relocate to Washington DC, and have a demonstrated interest in emerging technology.
