  Friends –

  I hope all is well!

  Please see the job ad below (note the tight deadline). I wonder whether
  this is of interest to some of your students or others from your networks.

  I think this is going to be an exciting job – the Bank is pouring
  significant resources into this work, and the group is pretty empowered to
  really take this agenda and run with it. I would love to see them recruit
  someone top-notch. The one caveat is that they will be looking for someone
  quite a bit of work experience.

  Happy to talk if you know someone.

  Cheers,

  Jan

  The big data program is seeking a Data Scientist with a background in

  will work closely with the Senior Data Scientist and Program Lead to align
  the program activities with the World Bank’s knowledge strategy to improve
  operational performance.

  The solution areas include, but are not limited to:

  • Text and graph analytics on a wide range of enterprise information to
  produce analytic driven services (e.g. recommender systems)

  • Network analytics on data from mobile phones, automobiles and transit
  systems for better urban and transport planning; for monitoring the
  movement of people during and after disasters.

  • Machine learning and analysis of satellite imagery to estimate poverty,
  and to monitor crop yields, road conditions, and urbanization patterns

  • Topic modeling, natural language processing, and network analysis on
  social and online information to understand sentiment, patterns, network
  structure, behavior patterns to inform policy and program design

  Note: If the selected candidate is a current Bank Group staff member with a
  Regular or Open-Ended appointment, s/he will retain his/her Regular or
  Open-Ended appointment. All others will be offered a 3 year term
  appointment.

  Best,

  Adarsh Desai
