Bloomberg Economics is seeking a Data Scientist/Economist to join the Washington, D.C. office on a full-time contract basis (40 hours per week). This role is part of a global network of more than 70 economists and analysts, and 200 economics and government reporters — a team uniquely positioned to explain where the world economy stands, where it’s heading, and how policy and geopolitics shape its course.

This position offers the chance to apply cutting-edge data science and machine learning to some of the most critical questions in US economic statistics measurement.

Key Responsibilities

Projects will focus on developing alternative data series on US economic statistics, creating AI-powered applications, and refining Bloomberg’s data infrastructure to improve how information is collected, processed, and visualized. Collaboration with economists, developers, and journalists is a key part of the work, as is contributing to data strategy and ensuring best practices in reproducibility, architecture, and model deployment.

Candidates with leadership experience will have opportunities to mentor others and drive new data initiatives that expand the analytical capabilities of Bloomberg Economics.
