I’m far from qualified to give career advice to people who are already full-time academics, but I suppose I’d say,
If you’ve just graduated and are looking for a post-doc opportunity, or are coming from outside academia and willing to move to Oxford, then apply to GPI.
If you’re already an academic elsewhere, then get in touch, come to one of the workshops GPI holds at the end of each Oxford term, and try shifting your research in a GPR direction. (We put together such a long research agenda partly in the hope that lots of interested researchers elsewhere will find something in it that they can get excited about.)
If you’re a senior enough academic that you could set up a respectable global priorities research center elsewhere, then definitely get in touch! That could turn out to be a great idea, especially if you’re an economist at a higher-ranked department than Oxford’s. Forethought—GPI’s sister org, which funds GPR activity outside of Oxford—would be a place to apply for funding for a project along those lines.
Thanks!
