TLDR: Generalist with 2-3 years experience in qualitative research and project delivery. I've worked on 7 different projects in EA-land including cause area mapping for fish welfare in China, an x-risk fellowship, and (kinda) co-founding an EA org.
Skills & background:
I think I'm unusually warm, organised, good at appearing traditionally professional, and motivated by those early-stage feelings of latent potential in a project.
Research skills: semi-structured interviews, weighted factor models, ToC, methods in social science (MSc level - focus groups, case studies, causal inference in R), literature reviews
Language skills: English C2 (native); B1/B2 Mandarin, Spanish, and French (working proficiency)
Cause area knowledge: China and global priorities,farmed animal welfare, global catastrophic risks
Currently most excited about: impact evaluation,deliberative democracy/collective intelligence/ participatory methods, data visualisation, becoming an excellent communicator
Location/remote: Preference for remote anywhere and/or positions that could hire me from Taiwan, Spain, USA (Pacific North West), Indonesia, or Southern China.
Availability & type of work: Preference for full-time, remote anywhere work with an immediate start date.
Thanks for sharing Anthony! Would you consider summarising your ideas, perhaps with a traditional ‘TLDR’ at the top? I’m guessing needing to navigate to a blog post and then a Google Docs, without any summary of the ideas, is a bit too much effort for most readers
