As Director of EA DC, I often speak with people interested in pursuing impactful careers in US policy. Since my last post on US policy career resources in March 2024, a lot of useful content has been added to one of the main resources I highlighted, Emerging Tech Policy Careers. I wanted to share a quick update and reminder about these resources for anyone interested in high-impact US policy work.

Emerging Tech Policy Careers offers great advice and resources for people interested in US government and policy careers, especially for those focusing on emerging tech issues like AI policy or biosecurity policy. Some of the career guides I commonly recommend to people I advise include an introduction to policy careerstesting your fit for policy careerspolicy internshipspolicy fellowshipsworking in Congressworking in think tanksadvice for undergraduates, and graduate school advice.

The website’s content has significantly expanded over the past few months, including recent guides on working in multilateral governance (e.g. UN, NATO, OECD), the intelligence community (e.g. CIA, NSA), and state-level policy work. These guides explain what working in these organizations is like, pros and cons, opportunities to work on emerging tech issues, and early-career opportunities.

Since my last update, other newly published articles on the website include: 

Two more excellent resources for those interested in US policy careers are:
