Notes:

  • Open to just about anything. I lean a little more toward global health and wellbeing but I think longtermist focuses are important too and would be happy to contribute to either.
• Availability
  • I'd most likely be available within about two months of receiving an offer.
• Looking for
  • I'm primarily looking for full time work, and I think I would enjoy doing anything that fits well with my skills, though I am looking mainly for something different from engineering.
  • I think I'd be a good fit for and enjoy roles that involve research, writing, and/or forecasting.
  • I'd also enjoy roles that involve coding or building tools, though I don't have a lot of formal experience with those things so I might not be as good of a fit there.
• Experience with EA
  • I've been aware of and interested in EA for a few years, though I've only started looking into it more closely in the past few months. I'd describe myself as someone who was a lurker on the periphery of EA and is now trying to get more involved.

If anyone has any feedback or suggestions for me I'd appreciate it as well. Feel free to message me or submit feedback anonymously at this link.

Senior Software Developer: 10+ years experience, full stack including embedded, hardware, performance optimizations, and some aspects of machine learning and data science.

Ex Apple.

Engineering lead for a startup that builds autonomous drones (real time image processing), building something cutting edge that beat the Boeing team in a competition by the U.S Air Force). 

This is the person I chose to work with full time if I can, which is my way of saying "extremely good and trusted".

Open for part time work since we got an FTX grant, but, you know, it's gone. You'll get really good code while allowing us to keep working on more (in my opinion) very important things.

Notes: My background prior to finance and economics is mostly as an artist. I was a musician and lighting engineer in local theaters and night clubs. I loved my job, but decided to look for something with more stability that was altruistic in character.
My primary interest is in economics and research. I recently applied and was accepted for a volunteer analyst role at SoGive. I am considering pursuing a PhD and doing research tying physics to economics at a fundamental level. 
My dream job is to be on a team creating a new school of economics that promotes long term stability, is integral with natural ecological systems, defeats corruption, and ameliorates poverty (Dream big, right?). A second dream job is to be on a team that creates an online platform for direct democracy and political accountability.

Notes: I am interested in a variety of cause areas, such as: Climate change, AI, global poverty and education, and global peace. I've invested many hours in studying sustainable architecture. 

I am growing more and more familiar with EA every day, and I've completed the 80K career guide as well as an "Intro to EA" cohort. I plan on applying to become a facilitator and taking the intensive course in the next few months. 

Although my career experience is in copywriting, my passion is connecting with and helping people.

Ideally, I'm looking for work in community-related spaces that work toward EA causes. 

That said, I'm also open to content-writing work, but as more of an editor and advisor on content. Not so much the writing.

Further, seeking the opportunity to translate independent research and writings on a variety of subjects (see below) into publishable papers and further academic credentials, or by having them reviewed by established researchers/ field experts for collaborative development to build a professional portfolio and furthering inter-disciplinary familiarity. 

The following is a list of some of the research and projects I've been developing over the past few years. If you wish to discuss any of these further, please reach out and I will make myself available: 

The development of knowledge, culture and technology across human species, including breaching the previous language barriers between these species;

Long-term technological advancement and bridging requirements, including analyses on feasibility;

Climate change solutions and eco-restorative culture building;

Rural mental health and psycho-ecological contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals;

Educational reform, including university level education innovations and multi-disciplinary thematic syllabi creation such as: 'climate resilience, renewable technologies and eco-restorative research'; 'The origin, development, and future of knowledge acquisition'; and 'Sustainable Development Goals: Innovation, development and delivery'. ;

An Academic Preparation Programme for inter-disciplinary scholars, including the criteria for education for capability;

The "Young Species Theory" as a contribution surrounding the Fermi Paradox;

Developing a solutions-based framework for existential risk management;

"Civilisational Architecture" as a field, to create a body of knowledge to contribute towards, and learn from, that motivates us towards species-wide cooperation and the development of philanthropic routes and roadmaps to bring our future potential closer to our present; and,

The evolution and future of consciousness, including developing a neuroscientific explanation and investigation into the forms and functions of consciousness across species, including  willed improvement of the self (body and mind) and its potential across generations or evolutionary deep time for novel capabilities.

Hey everyone,

Since I can't find an October thread, I'm posting here.

I'm a Berlin (Germany) based IT freelancer looking for innovative and impactful projects. My work so far has mostly been with corporate clients, and I'd like to change that.

My background is in mathematics (finance), but I've been working as an IT consultant and software engineer for the last 5 years.

There are no hard constraints on duration and workload from my side, my current client is happy to book any vacancies.

I haven't made them any promises for 2023 yet, but that will change by the end of November. Please contact me soon if you are interested!

Top skills: C#, .NET, Azure DevOps, msg.PM, Oracle SQL, Angular

Hi! I'm Francisco, a 2x founder, ML researcher, and software engineer looking to learn from an AI-safety-minded team that will let me combine my academic ML studies with software engineering to support research or a system in production. I'm sure I can help any team ship with my generalist skills and pragmatism inherited from handling operations myself in the companies I started.

Beyond ML roles, I am also excited about working on systems that improve the internet (as you would at e.g. Protocol Labs, or Mozilla) and I am passionate about tools-for-thought and PKM (e.g. Roam, Notion, Obsidian).

Notes:
Medic from Australia who has taken an indefinite step back from clinical medicine, with a view to pursuing higher impact opportunities. Rlocated from Australia for now (currently floating around Europe).

Essentially willing and able to donate my skills / time in a remote sense or in a particular location for the right opportunity. I’m in the position where I could take or leave employment, I'm mostly motivated by the right experience / opportunity, whether that is paid or not. Well-placed for any remote work but similarly flexible in relocating for the right opportunity. 

Background in medicine, science and research, so plenty of relevant experience in research in general as well as more niche experience in health care. Studying a masters of bioethics. Various previous mental health advocacy roles. Limited background with writing / editing, having worked as an editor for a website prior and really interested in broadening my writing and journalism skills.

I think I could also be a really good fit for more general roles like operations / community building / stakeholder engagement, although these are untested hunches. I’ve also had previous on the ground roles in low and middle income countries, so I’d be willing and happy to do any sort of more direct roles (ie ops / community liaison etc) for any EA, should this be useful / needed. 

Interest in many cause areas but specifically global health and development / global mental health / climate change / AI ethics (particular the ethics of human interface with and use of AI tools).

If you or anybody you know think I could be a good niche or general fit for your project / organisation and want some help, let me know!

• Email: dj1267@nyu.edu 
• Notes: I recently relocated to London, and currently work for a knowledge network (sales & outreach). I found my current employment to be not focused on impact at all, and it is giving me significant discomfort that I spend 8 hours 5 times a day working on something that only makes the company more well-off, but does not improve my skills (outside of sales-related ones) or has any traceable impact. Hence, I am looking for EA-aligned jobs, mostly in the UK (with a remote option). My interests are psychology, institutional decision-making, mental health, and more general EA roles focused on operations & community building. I would need visa sponsorship since I am here on a working visa. 
• Available from and until: October 9 onwards. 

Hi! I’m Andrea Owe, I’m an environmental moral philosopher and currently a Research Associate at the Global Catastrophic Risk Institute. Here, I’ve focused on the ethics of GCR, especially environmental and AI-related risks, including from underrepresented worldviews and value-systems. 

Location: Oslo, Norway

Remote: Yes. My current work for GCRI is remote and administratively arranged through Effective Altruism Norway, to make the international work situation smooth. A similar collaboration can most likely be arranged. 

Willing to relocate: Ideally no. Open to semi-remote arrangements. 

Skills: 

• Original research on GCR and the long-term future, especially on environmental and AI-related risks.  
• Ethics of GCR, AI, nonhumans, space colonization, and the long-term future.
• Environmental philosophy, and interdisciplinary environmental, sustainability, and Anthropocene studies. 
• Applying alternative value-systems to the ethics of GCR and related topics.
• Policy impact. I have, e.g., helped formulate a forthcoming IEEE Standard on the governance of AI to adequately address GCRs, nonhuman welfare, and environmental issues.

Notes:

• Cause areas: GCRs associated with climate change, environmental degradation, and AI, and nonhuman/animal welfare, longtermism, value spreading, moral progress, moral circle expansion, and post-catastrophe. 
• Looking for: I am ideally looking for research positions in EA-adjacent think tanks or the like. I would be particularly interested in opportunities to study systemic approaches to risk mitigation, including on the interdependencies and underlying drivers of GCRs. I am equally interested in diversifying worldviews, value-systems, and epistemologies applied to GCR research and related EA-adjacent issues.  
• Experience with EA: I have been involved with EA since around 2018, when I had a research internship with GCRI. Locally, I am involved with EA Norway, where I also have an office space. 
• Fulltime: Yes.  
• Availability: From January 2023. Open to discuss an earlier start for the right position. 
• Dream workplace: Rethink Priorities.
