    We’ve recently posted a number of new openings to our jobs page, including:

    • Generalist Research Analyst and Senior Research Analyst opportunities; we hope to hire several in 2018. We intend to invest heavily in training and mentoring these hires, in the hopes that over the long run they will have the potential to become core contributors to the organization. We recommend submitting applications for this role by May 6, 2018.
    • Opportunities to specialize in a number of key analyses relevant to potential risks from advanced artificial intelligence: AI alignment research, AI timelines, and AI governance and strategy. Applicants who have extremely strong existing qualifications for these roles should apply directly for them; however we also see the Research Analyst role mentioned above as a potential route to roles like these.
    • A number of other opportunities: Grants Associate, Operations Associate, and General Counsel.


    Additionally, our Director of Operations search is ongoing. The Director of Operations will be responsible for significantly expanding our current grants management team and building out our own finance, budgeting, HR, IT, office management, and legal teams. As we grow, the Director of Operations will also help us maintain a strong culture that prioritizes truth-seeking and honesty, a drive for constant improvement, ambition paired with skeptical inquiry, diversity and inclusion, active listening to grantees and other partners, and attentive and dedicated management at all levels of the organization.

    We expect hiring to be a major priority for 2018, and greatly appreciate any help sourcing promising candidates. Please email [email protected] if you have questions or want to pass along a suggestion.
