If Anna and I can't think of a simple way, you seem to have a rather exaggerated idea of what the fulltime hire needs to be able to do. I don't understand why people are reading this ad and thinking, "Hm, they want Superperson!" But it clearly needs to be rewritten.
It's a project that has people such as you and lukeprog involved in it. (Luke wasn't mentioned, but he was running the rationality camps etc., so people are going to associate him with this regardless of whether his name is actually mentioned.) You two can, with good reason, be considered Superpeople. I expect that many people will automatically assume that for a cause as important as this, you will only accept folks who are themselves Superpeople as well.
