(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 .

If you're open to working in tech, I scraped https://www.levels.fyi/ a couple years back to find the companies making the most offers and how they pay new grads as a starting point to look at applying to
I know this is not the advice that you want to hear, and I know I won't get any mana for this, but I think you should hear this. I don't think you've thought enough about this post or your job search. What are you looking to get from this post? If you are looking to find relevant roles, you really didn't give enough information. You didn't post your resume, and you don't know what kind of roles you even want (you don't seem to want academia or AI safety but you haven't suggested anywhere else that you might and to do and are potentially qualified to do). What do you expect people to do? Do a linkedin search for you? You can do that better yourself. You don't seem to want broader job search advice, so what do you want? Just suggesting random cool orgs is not going to help you get a job that fits you well. You need to spend some time and think. Also, you seem to really squirm at the thought of putting effort into your job search. You got angry at me for suggesting that you think about a specific field, and complained about spending some time upskilling when you spent years getting a math PhD (which is also a form of upskilling). Doing a career transition (it's not just a job search because you're not looking to continue what you're doing) takes effort and you don't seem to be ready to do that. So really, what do you want?
