An idea I had while talking to Xio Kikauka and Joey Savoie is to run a jobs board for people interested in effective altruism. It seems like it actually would be relatively easy to have a script automatically monitor various job pages and synthesize them all into one area that looks nice.
Would this be useful to create? And if so, where should we get jobs from?
Some potential ideas:
- The Humane League (Jobs, Internships)
- Effective Animal Activism
- Giving What We Can
- 80,000 Hours
- GiveWell
- Innovations for Poverty Action (Jobs, Internships)
- Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
- Oxfam (International Secretariat Jobs, Affiliate Jobs)
- Nyaya Health
- The Hunger Project (Jobs, Internships)
- Population Services International
- Good Ventures
- Farm Sanctuary (Jobs, Internships)
I'd be willing to make this happen if people were interested.

I do not understand why no one is interested.
My current effective altruism strategy is:
Pretty straightforward, but it means I don't need to have a job specifically related to effective altruism.
The question might be if you're more useful by making money and giving that away, or by working directly with the cause or meta-cause you support. I think for me it's the former.
