Ask HN: Where to look for research and writing opportunities in privacy&security

by timsh on 5/2/25, 3:48 PM with 0 comments

I have recently seen a job description at Palisade Research with such summary:

“Research generalists conduct experiments, build demonstrations and prototypes, write papers and blog posts about their findings. The ideal candidate combines the skills of a startup CTO and a scientist.”

Which I thought describes my experience, what I know and want to do quite good.

I’m looking for similar positions and opportunities, preferably part time, in the privacy, security and safety domains. Ideally - on a commercial basis, but would also be interested in project work with non-profits.

Any advice on where to look? Maybe anyone here has or seen a similar-looking role?

I got into the field about a year ago, and so far was doing independent research and blogging about it on https://timsh.org. I also did some small projects with non-profit organizations and enjoyed that a lot.
