I’ve recently had a few different people ping me about putting up job ads on LessWrong. I liked the job ads, and I think LWers will be interested in them too, so here’s a thread for them. Feel free to put your job ads (or related ads) here.
Our group (Philosophy & Ethics group, TU Eindhoven, The Netherlands) has a call for three PhD positions which might be of interest to some of you (the deadline is very soon though—March 10). All three positions are fully funded and for a period of 4 years. Please feel free to get in touch or send me a PM if you’d like some additional info on them!
About three years ago, I started a quantitative cryptocurrency hedge fund with my brother and Satvik. We have been doing pretty well, and in addition to raising more $$ this year, we have decided to expand our team. We’re looking for a few potential roles:
Quants: expected background in quantitative trading + some engineering skills
Developers: at least 5+ years of experience; familiarity with AWS, ETL, data quality assurance and writing fast code are plusses
Researchers: we give you the data / problem and you do your magic; this role can be part-time / consulting; expected background: PhD or similarly deep understanding of your “magic”
You can PM me on this website (or email me).
If you don’t fit these buckets, but you’re very interested and you think you could help us, PM me anyway.
Ought is building Elicit, an AI research assistant using language models to automate and scale parts of the research process. Today, researchers can brainstorm research questions, search for datasets, find relevant publications, and brainstorm scenarios. They can create custom research tasks and search engines. You can find demos of Elicit here and a podcast explaining our vision here.
Each job description contains sample projects from our roadmap.
Research is one of the primary engines by which society moves forward. We’re excited about the potential language models and ML have for making this engine orders of magnitude more effective.
My company, Wave, is building mobile money in the developing world (wave.com). We are a for-profit company helping mostly-unbanked people get access to money and digital markets. Besides the usual software engineering jobs, I’ve had particular trouble finding great senior product managers (3+ yrs experience in entrepreneurship, Product at tech companies, or engineering leadership) and head of information security (5+ yrs, ideally with some security certification experience). Not all of these roles are posted on our website so email me privately if you are interested! My email is lincoln at our url :)
For the developer position, we are piloting a Tour of Service model: we think that a qualified candidate could transform the community’s online infrastructure in a short, focused period, and we encourage you to apply even if you might only want to stay for 1-2 years.
I’d be happy to answer any questions you might have about the role.
