Share your information in this thread if you are looking for full-time, part-time, or limited project work in EA causes[1]!
We’d like to help people in EA find impactful work, so we’ve set up this thread, and another called Who's hiring? (we did this last in 2022[2]).
Consider sharing this thread with friends who aren't on the Forum, but might be interested in getting involved in this kind of work. They will need to make an account to post, but we think it is worth it!
If you have any feedback on these threads, please DM me or comment below.
Take part in the thread
To take part in this thread, add an 'Answer' below. Here's a template:
TLDR: [1-line summary of the kind of work you're looking for and anything particularly relevant from your background or interests. ]
Skills & background: [Outline your strengths and job experience, as well as your experience with EA if you think that might be relevant. Links to past projects have been particularly valuable for past job seekers]
Location/remote: [Current location & whether you're willing to relocate or work remotely]
Availability & type of work: [Note whether you're only available during a particular period, whether you're looking for part-time work, etc...]
Resume/CV/LinkedIn: ___
Email/contact: [you can also suggest that people DM you on the Forum]
Other notes: [Describe your cause area preferences if you have them, expand on the type of role you are looking for, etc... Hiring managers fed back after our last round of threads that they sometimes couldn't tell whether prospective hires would be interested in the roles they were offering.]
Questions: [IF YOU HAVE ANY: Consider sharing uncertainties you have, other questions, etc.]

Job boards & other resources
If you want to explore EA jobs, check out the related Who’s hiring? thread, or the resources below:
- The 80,000 Hours Job Board compiles a huge amount of open roles; there are over 800 jobs listed right now.
- You can filter to exclude "career development" roles, set up alerts for roles matching your preferred criteria, and browse roles by organisation or "collection."
- The "Job listing (open)" page is a place to explore positions people have shared or discussed on the EA Forum (see also opportunities to take action).
- The EA Opportunity Board collects internships, volunteer opportunities, conferences, and more — including part-time and entry-level job opportunities.
Other resources include Probably Good's list of impact-focused job boards, the EA job postings and EA volunteering Facebook groups, and these lists of project ideas you might be able to work on independently. (If you have other suggestions for what I should include here, please comment on this post or send me a DM!)

I phrase it this way to include explicitly EA organisations, as well as organisations which do not call themselves EA, but work on causes with significant support within EA such as farmed animal welfare or AI risk.

TLDR: I'm looking for entry-level communications jobs or writing-heavy roles. My experience is mostly in writing (of different kinds) and tutoring students.
Skills & background: I write a lot and have some undergraduate research experience and familiarity with legal work. I finished my BA in history in May 2023 (see [my thesis]). I spent two summers as a legal intern at [Place], and have been tutoring for a year now. I also speak Spanish. I helped run my university EA group in 2022-2023. You can see some of my public writing for [our student newspaper] and [on my blog].
Location/remote: I live in Austin, Texas, and am willing to relocate or work remotely.
Availability & type of work: I can start at any point, and am interested in part-time or full-time paid roles.
Resume/CV/LinkedIn: [Link]
Email/contact: DM me on the Forum.
Other notes: I don't have specific cause area preferences (arguments for all the causes often discussed here are compelling to me), although I've been drawn to animal welfare for a while so that's probably more intrinsically motivating to me.
Questions: If anyone has suggestions for opportunities I should pursue for career growth (instead of direct impact), I'd be interested in suggestions!
Update: I joined FAR AI in May!
TLDR: I'm looking for a challenging opportunity in AI Governance, where I can apply my expertise in areas like GDPR implementation and developing technical standards for the AI Act. I’d preferably be doing program management but also open to other areas.
Skills & background: 4y of experience in Project & Program Management and 3y in Data Science. Graduated in Machine Learning, about to get a Masters in AI Governance at the Technical University of Munich. Involved in EA since 2020, actively participating in EA Global and EA Armenia. Board of Directors member at Ashgro. Facilitated the AI Governance track of the AI Safety Fundamentals program.
Location/remote: I can work remotely for the GMT / CET time zones (from Serbia) and open to relocation (e.g., to work in the PT time zone from Argentina).
Availability & type of work: I’m interested in full-time roles but flexible regarding part-time or project-based collaborations.
Resume/CV/LinkedIn: my LinkedIn, my CV
Email/contact: a.v.gaydashenko[at]gmail.com
Other notes: Based on the Weighted Factor Model I did for my next career step, I found that I should also consider being a Personal Assistant / Executive Assistant to somebody impactful, so I’d be happy to consider this option as well if we match in AI Safety / AI Policy cause area.
Questions: 1. I'm curious about challenges organizations face in operationalizing AI governance and would appreciate insights or experiences on integrating responsible AI practices effectively. 2. I'm developing a personal theory of change about rising industry standards through leveraging the emerging AI regulations like the AI Act. Although it's not finalized, I’d be happy to discuss it over a quick call.
Im case you haven't seen it, the EU AI Office has for technology specialists, applications closing tomorrow:
