EDIT: we are to be replaced by as-yet-unannounced orgs.

ALERT (the active longtermist emergency response team) is looking for a Director to lead the project.

The role is fully funded and we've organised fiscal sponsorship from a UK registered charity. We have a longlist of reservists and interest from people at Rethink Priorities, Our World in Data, Bluedot, ALLFED, and CEA.

Some good characteristics for the job:

• Resilience. It's possible that your decisions will have major consequences, in a relatively short time.
• Ability to function well in crisis situations. Our impression is that this is a relatively stable trait in people - if you repeatedly find yourself, for example, being the first one to stop at a car accident, or dealing with first aid or work emergencies, you're probably the right kind of person. If, on the other hand, you dread situations like this and hope someone else will respond, it's probably not the role for you.
• Excellent operations skills.
• Experience with either research or research management.

And responsibilities:

Building readiness

• You’ll build teams specialising in biosecurity, AI, great power conflict, and Other. Each to share ops, comms, software, and data science support.
• Track team skills, encourage training to fill gaps
• Responsible for activating teams in response to early warnings
• Maintain a register of the team’s wider network 
• Liaise with related organisations 
• Commission relevant forecasts 
• Prepare annual horizon scanning report

Operations

• Make the call to activate based on forecaster input
• Co-organise an annual wargame for each team, likely in-person 
• Collect status reports from reservists
• Deploy discretionary budget towards reservists (e.g. researchers, forecasters, ops), contractors, project management / HR software, etc. as needed.

Strategy

• Leading ALERT strategy-setting, choice of triggers.

Roles

We are expanding our data science team and hiring applied AI practitioners! If you believe you have the skills and passion for contributing to the nascent world of AI governance, we want to hear from you!

To help you figure out if that’s you, I’ll describe some of the near-term challenges we are facing:

• How can we programmatically assess AI systems for principles like fairness, transparency, etc?
• How can we make those assessments understandable and actionable for a broad range of stakeholders?

• Have an “owner” mindset. This word gets tossed around a lot, but at a startup our size it truly is a requirement. The ground is fertile and we need people who have the vision and follow through to develop wonderful things.
• Have an existing passion and knowledge in this space. You don’t have to have previously worked in “AI safety” or “responsible AI”, but this post shouldn’t be the first time you are thinking about these issues!

Our mission is to automate and scale open-ended reasoning. To that end, we’re building Elicit, the AI research assistant. Elicit's architecture is based on supervising reasoning processes, not outcomes. This is better for supporting open-ended reasoning in the short run and better for alignment in the long run.

Over the last year, we built Elicit to support broad reviews of empirical literature. The literature review workflow runs on general-purpose infrastructure for executing compositional language model processes. Going forward, we'll expand to deep literature reviews, then other research workflows, then general-purpose reasoning. (More here)

CEA's Community Health team is hiring a project manager:

With recent media attention, increased funding, and growing ambition among community members, this is one of the most exciting times for EA, but also one of the riskiest. We need an ops-minded generalist to help address these risks, through both end-to-end ownership of targeted projects as well as building broader systems and processes to support other team members.

Example projects you might own:

1. Create and manage a fund for community members’ physical and mental health
2. Categorize the EA community into useful segments and conduct interviews to discover and understand their challenges, then summarize this feedback for stakeholders
3. Organize a retreat for team members to discuss and work on key problems in the EA community

If this sounds like you, please apply!

1Day Sooner is looking for a Hep C Director to oversee efforts to establish a controlled human infection model (CHIM) to test a hepatitis C vaccine within the next two years.

Given the regulatory, ethical, and scientific complexity, we expect that in the absence of a very focused effort to accelerate the safe implementation of the model, it will take 2-4 years from now to complete the characterization study. Having someone capable whose job is to keep things moving forward could shave off a significant chunk of that time. If successful, this effort would have a major impact on global health: if accelerating the use of the Hep C challenge model by a year would buy 10% of a projected 2040 year of disease burden, that would equating to saving 1.8 million years of human life.

It is expected that most of this work can be performed from whatever location is most convenient, however, travel to locations such as Toronto, Washington DC and other collaborating sites may be required several times a year.

The Berkeley Existential Risk Initiative (BERI) is seeking a Deputy Director to help me grow BERI's university collaborations program and create new programs, all with the mission of improving human civilization’s long-term prospects for survival and flourishing.

This is BERI's first "core" hire since I was hired 3 years ago—all of our hires since then are embedded at some particular research group, and aren't responsible for running BERI as an organization.

This is a great opportunity for an early- to mid-career person with some experience and interest in operations. I expect that the Deputy Director will contribute substantially to BERI's strategy and direction moving forward.

I'd prefer the person to be based in New York City (where I am), but remote is also an option. The position is full-time, and I expect the salary range to be $70-100k/year.

Here's a bunch of links to persuade you to work at BERI:

• My thoughts on what BERI is and why I think it's important
• The 22 awesome research groups we collaborate with
• Results from BERI's collaborator survey in January (tl;dr people like BERI)
• Annual reports for 2020 and 2021, which show how much BERI has done and include thoughts on future directions.

CarePay is hiring a Head of Data in Amsterdam/Nairobi/Remote (CET +-3 hours)

We are an EA aligned insuretech company working to widen access to low cost health insurance, with a focus on low income countries.

For general details about the role itself see the job posting. 

Getting a very competent and ideally EA aligned person in the role could significantly increase the chances of CarePay having a significant positive impact on the lives of millions in our current operational locations Kenya and Nigeria as well as new regions as we expect to scale considerably in the coming years. You'll be joining fellow EAs Christoph Hartmann (Directory of Technology and former Head of Data) and Patrick von Glehn (Data Scientist) as well as many other data and impact driven team members across Nairobi, Amsterdam, Lagos and elsewhere. We have also previously partnered with EA organisation GiveDirectly to distribute credit for medical assistance through our platform during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are addressing a large, tractable and (relatively) neglected problem; financial ruin and poor health outcomes associated with lack of health insurance in low income countries. We have already established ourselves as the market leader in Kenya (under the brand M-TIBA) and have plans and funding for wider expansion in the coming years. 

We have built a mobile first platform connecting healthcare providers (hospitals and clinics), payers (private or government insurers and NGOs) and patients. Our platform handles insurance policy management, billing and claims processing as well as loans for healthcare providers without alternative access to credit. We increase efficiency and trust between all parties and ultimately lower the cost of and widen access to health insurance, reducing the risk of financial ruin associated with unexpected medical bills.
