Hi, MvK, good choice. I’m already preparing an application! Thanks.

Factory farming in a cosmic future
TLDR: Former diplomat, keen on policy, operational and executive support roles for impactful people/orgs. Especially keen on AI governance. I love to write, too.
Skills & background: I spent four years as an Australian diplomat, and served in the Middle East. I also worked on economic issues in North Asia, and political issues in the Pacific. Prior to that, I was a senior analyst for a major bank, where I gained decent SQL, Tableau, Excel and PowerBI skills. I have a Bachelor of Languages (I speak Indonesian and Persian fluently). I recently completed BlueDot Impact’s AI Safety (Governance) course, and I just started volunteering with the Shrimp Welfare Project as a researcher.
Location/remote: I live in the East Midlands in the UK. I’d prefer to work remotely, but willing to relocate (within the UK) for the right role and salary.
Availability & type of work: I’m looking for full-time paid roles, but would also consider part-time. I can start immediately.
Resume/CV/LinkedIn: [Luke Dawes] EA CV
Email/contact: DM me on the Forum, or find my email on my CV.
Other notes: Cause preference is AI governance, but also very interested (no particular order) in suffering risk, the rights of digital minds and animal welfare.
Questions: If anyone has suggestions for opportunities I should pursue for career growth (instead of direct impact), I’d be interested in suggestions!
You’re welcome, thanks for taking the time to read it!
