(With thanks to @jskf )

I'm looking for a job. If you have suggestions for places to apply, please post a comment (one comment per organization, multiple roles in one comment is fine) and include any information you think is helpful. More general advice on finding/getting my next job is also appreciated. I reserve the right to not pay out bounties if it looks like you're just spamming random big companies or whatever.

Bounties:

• M$50 for every suggested org I hadn't considered yet and ~seems worth considering

• M$250 if I end up "seriously considering" your suggestion. This is kind of vague, but for example if I set up a meeting with anyone at the company that would probably count, and if I apply it definitely counts.

• M$1000 if I apply and get an offer (regardless of whether I accept).

• 0.5% of my yearly compensation above US$60k if I get hired. If it's a temporary contract, a research grant, or some other case where this wouldn't make sense to me, I'll try to figure out something reasonable. I'll pay this out just once, not for every year I work there, but will keep paying this out for the second, third, etc. position this leads me to, if any exists.

I might also award discretionary bounties for helpful advice.

About me:

• I currently live (and have citizenship) in the US. I'm sorta open to moving.

• I was a postdoc/glorified math adjunct at a fair-sized university last year. Accordingly, I have a PhD in math from the University of Illinois at Chicago. This was my first "real job".

• I'd be totally happy to work fully remote.

• I'm interested in Effective Altruism.

  • I'm not currently a GWWC member, given the sorry state of postdoc compensation. This would plausibly change if I got a job that didn't pay as poorly.

  • My donations (smaller sporadic personal ones, on receiving a windfall) have gone mostly towards global poverty remediation, especially cash transfers and anti-disease efforts, and a little has gone towards longtermist causes, too.

  • I'd weakly prefer to work somewhere I feel I am having a significant positive impact directly, not just through donating a part of my income.

    • I'd enjoy working on stuff related to AI safety, and have been trying to enter the field, but I doubt any of the big orgs would hire me given my experiences thus far with that ecosystem.

• I'm already kind of in a state of career burnout. Academia is blatantly not working and AI safety para-academia has been barely better. Due to (generally well-managed) depression/anxiety/AuDHD, when I apply to positions I'm fairly sure I'm well-qualified for and fail to get so much as an interview, it hits me pretty hard. I note this both as a warning and as a cry for help.

  • If you make a suggestion and also offer to bet that I would get an offer if I applied, I would absolutely be more likely to apply.

I'll add more stuff as I think of it or people ask about it. Feel free to DM me on Discord as well - @lorxus .
