“Research or writing assistance for researchers (especially senior ones) at orgs like FHI, Forethought, MIRI, CHAI”
As a senior research scholar at FHI, I would find this valuable if the assistant was competent and the arrangement was low cost to me (in terms of time, effort, and money). I haven’t tried to set up anything like this since I expect finding someone competent, working out the details, and managing them would not be low cost, but I could imagine that if someone else (such as BERI) took care of details, it very well may be low cost. I support efforts to try to set something like this up, and I’d like to throw my hat into the ring of “researchers who would plausibly be interested in assistants” if anyone does set this up.
