The Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation at Johns Hopkins
University (the Center) seeks an i-team Data Analytics

Innovation Teams unlock creativity from within city governments

stakeholders through an evidence-based process to tackle the big
problems in their cities no one has yet been able to solve,
generate more ambitious responses, and test and adapt interventions
until they produce impact. They also work closely with the Mayor,
the City's leadership team, and City departments to change the
culture of city government.
Philadelphia is one of 25 U.S. cities joining Bloomberg American
Sustainable Cities. Bloomberg American Sustainable Cities is a
three-year initiative to incubate and implement transformative
local solutions to build low-carbon, resilient, and economically
thriving communities. Building on the longtime leadership of U.S.
cities to confront the overlapping crises of climate change and
racial wealth inequity, the new initiative will provide deep
support to selected cities to pursue transformative solutions.

approaches for using quantitative data and methods to understand
complex issues at the intersection of climate and racial equity as

analytics, be proficient in a general programming language (like
Python) or a statistical package (R), and an appetite for engaging

deliver exceptional results for residents, and inspire trust in
