I am currently a Fieldbuilding Fellow at the Astra Fellowship, and I focus my work on hiring needs and talent pipelines in the AI safety community.
Previously I was a volunteer at Anima International (2017-2023), where I ran a local volunteer group and a campaign team. In 2024, I set up the EA group at Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland (currently a city-wide EA group for students).
I hold a Master's degree in applied psychology. I usually spend my free time doing arts (painting, drawing, crocheting, sewing, and others) or engaging in physical activities (dancing, bouldering, cycling, climbing trees).
Please have a very low bar for reaching out. I am happy to talk to every person in the EA or AI safety community.
I am looking for a job in AI safety fieldbuilding starting from autumn 2026. Let me know if you're aware of an interesting opening!
I have some takes on EA community building and AI safety fieldbuilding, which I am happy to share. I also have a lot of fun facts about bumblebees, which I am just as happy to share.
In the current cycle (January-June 2026), there are only two fellows in the fieldbuilding track. For the next cycle (September 2026 - February 2027), there will be no fieldbuilding track at all. Instead, there will be a separate program called Generator Residency, which is organised by Constellation and Kairos. You can find the details here: https://generatorresidency.org/?utm_source=ais-groups&utm_medium=slack&utm_campaign=summer-26
Thank you so much for speaking up, Frances. What you wrote is heartbreaking and should have never taken place. I am deeply disappointed both about how CEA failed to react to the harm, and how they responded to your post. This is a significant negative update on an organisation that I truly trusted before.
I believe an important piece of information here is that Open Phil did not provide funding for organizers spending less than 10 h/week organizing their groups (or at least that was the case when I was applying for funding), so I suppose most of the funded students were probably working on the topic a bit more than that (this is a guess, though)
I would love to do that in a year from now and see what changes. I am also currently working on some more things that might help put the numbers from this post in context - I hope to publish them in the upcoming weeks!
