Talent Identification Advisor

Help us connect with world-class STEM talent in your region and communities for our upcoming program! Impact Academy is a startup that runs cutting-edge fellowships to enable global talent to use their careers to contribute to the safe and beneficial development of AI. We are soon launching applications for the Global AI Safety Fellowship 2025 to help advance research on the safe and beneficial development of AI. With this fellowship, we aim to connect world-class STEM talent with three to six-month placement and mentorship at pioneering AI safety organisations such as the Center for Human-Compatible AI (UC Berkeley), Conjecture, FAR AI, and the Mila-Quebec AI Institute. We’ll have a particular focus on talent from regions such as Singapore, India, Hong Kong, South Korea, Hungary, Romania, Morocco, and South Africa, among others. This is a part-time role. To achieve the best outcomes from our efforts, we suggest 10-12 hours per week for up to 8 weeks (~2 months, with the possibility of an extension depending on the outreach needs and the candidate’s interest). We understand that the time commitment would be dependent on your availability, and we are happy to work with you to identify a mutually suitable time arrangement. By default, we will compensate $30 per hour for work completed each month per the conditions above. The payment would be pro-rated depending on the number of productive hours. For candidates who bring significant experience in talent identification, strategic outreach, and established professional networks, we would be happy to discuss an adjusted compensation that reflects your expertise. We are looking for professionals with a basic understanding of AI Safety to help us identify and connect with world-class STEM talent in their regions for advancing research on safe and aligned AI systems.
