Specific to AGI Safety, I would recommend looking at trying to join relevant active research groups in academia i.e. getting into PhDs they are offering; perhaps doing a relevant Masters—ML/AI, or even Philosophy or Maths—at the university they are based at first. There are some groups listed here (see the table). Universities include Berkeley (Stuart Russell, Jacob Steinhardt), Cambridge (David Krueger), NYU (Sam Bowman), Oxford (FHI).
