Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Various roles at The School for Moral Ambition, published by tobytrem on January 15, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum.
The School for Moral Ambition (SMA) is a new organisation which "will help people switch careers to work on the most pressing issues of our time". SMA's co-founders are Jan Willem van Putten (co-founder of Training for Good), and Rutger Bregman (author of Humankind, Utopia for Realists, and an upcoming book on Moral Ambition,[1] inspired by the Effective Altruism movement).
From their website:
The School for Moral Ambition (SMA) is a new organisation that will focus on attracting the most talented people to work on the most pressing issues of our time. The activities of SMA fall into the following categories:
Book and Branding: Launch of Rutger Bregman's book on the topic of moral ambition - the idea that people's talents should be used for working on global challenges. Launch of a corresponding campaign to establish a prestigious brand that attracts talent and sparks a movement around moral ambition.
Community Activities: We will organise Moral Ambition Circles and offer the resources to start their own Circle. These circles help morally ambitious people develop a career that matches their ideals.
Exclusive Fellowship Programs: Initiation of targeted, highly selective programs in which small groups of fellows (~12 people) will focus on solving one of the most pressing and neglected global problems together.
They are based in the Netherlands, but will be launching internationally in spring 2025.
They are currently hiring for the roles of:
(Senior) Researcher | 32-40 hours | EUR 55k-65K | deadline Feb 15th
Program Manager (Fellowships) | 32-40 hours | EUR 40K-50K | deadline Jan 24th
Operations intern | 32-40 hours | EUR 1,000/month | Jan 24th
Event Management Intern | 32-40 hours | EUR 1,000/month | Jan 24th
Finance Volunteer | 4-8 hours per week | unpaid | Feb 1st
NB- I'm linkposting this because I think the Forum audience may be interested in these roles. I'm not affiliated with the organisation and therefore can't answer questions about them.
PS- If you spot a job that you think EAs should see, linkpost it on the Forum! A surprising amount of people find out about jobs that they later get through the Forum, so you might just shift a career, or get a more impact-focused person into an important role.

Dutch interview, English interview (about 2/3 of the way through)
