I’m Michael Aird, an Associate Researcher with Rethink Priorities. In March, I’ll also start part-time as a Research Scholar with the Future of Humanity Institute. Opinions expressed are my own. You can give me anonymous feedback at this link.
With Rethink, I’ll likely continue their project on nuclear risk (among other things). With FHI, I might work on these things.
Previously, I did longtermist macrostrategy research for Convergence Analysis and then for the Center on Long-Term Risk. More on my background here.
I also post to LessWrong sometimes.
If you think you or I could benefit from us talking, feel free to message me or schedule a call.
EA fellowships
I think it might be useful to have a post on EA fellowships, meaning things like the EA Virtual Programs, which “are opportunities to engage intensively with the ideas of effective altruism through weekly readings and small group discussions over the course of eight weeks. These programs are open to anyone regardless of timezone, career stage, or anything else.” (And not meaning things like summer research fellowships, for which there’s the Research Training Programs tag.)
I think this’d be a subset of the Event strategy tag.
But I’m not sure if there are enough posts that are highly relevant to EA fellowships for it to be worth having this tag in addition to the Event strategy tag. And maybe a somewhat different scope would be better (i.e., maybe something else should be bundled in with this).
