“Coefficient Giving is hiring grantmakers and senior generalists across our Global Catastrophic Risks teams” by Coefficient Giving

TL;DR: Coefficient Giving is running a major hiring round for 10+ grantmakers and senior generalists across five Global Catastrophic Risks (GCR) teams. We're allocating around $1 billion in 2026 across AI safety and catastrophic biorisk, and we’re acutely capacity-constrained. Apply here by May 17. Why we’re hiring A core premise of our work is that if a global catastrophe caused by transformative AI or biotechnology could be prevented by funding and isn't, we consider it our responsibility. The work our GCR teams fund today — from technical AI safety research and governance to biosecurity and pandemic preparedness — will shape how well humanity navigates some of the most consequential decisions of the coming decade. Timelines to transformative AI appear to be shortening: there's an overwhelming amount of work to do to make this go well, and quite plausibly only a few years to do it. We expect to move around $1 billion in GCR grants in 2026 (and significantly more in future years), but we're significantly understaffed relative to the opportunities in front of us. We've previously helped jump-start the field of AI safety and address other existential threats like mirror bacteria, and we want to do considerably more.
