Is this YOU?

For one of our clients based in Seville, Spain, we are looking for a Data Scientist to provide support for thematic analyses on territorial, urban and rural development data. The candidate’s overall objective is to produce and analyse highly granular datasets, apply existing methodologies, and develop new ones — including the underlying algorithms. The main focus will be on analysing sustainable development, innovation, entrepreneurship, business dynamics, and other relevant demographic, economic, and labour market trends at subnational level in urban and rural areas across the EU.

Relying on its extensive experience in providing high-quality territorial analysis solutions and information systems, the client is currently responsible for implementing various activities and projects with a focus on territorial, urban and rural data and analyses. A core part of this work involves using detailed microdata to carry out statistical and econometric analyses, in particular those required for the implementation of the EU Preparatory Action “Startup Village Forum and Rural Innovation Valleys”. This requires assembling and analysing highly granular territorial data, enabling results to be disaggregated by territorial unit, degree of urbanisation, rural/urban typology, economic sector, etc.

The general objectives are:

·       To produce indicators on sustainable development, on demographic, economic, labour market trends, as well as on rural-urban interactions at subnational level across the EU.

·       To produce indicators on innovation, entrepreneurship, business dynamics and territorial policy funding.

·       To conduct statistical and econometric analyses on those topics.

·       To provide data work and support tasks on analysis on specific themes such as collaboration and finance for innovation.

More specifically, you will be responsible for…

• Production of territorial and sectoral indicators, as well as statistical and econometric analyses;

• Analysis of urban versus rural socio-economic development, including relevant demographic, economic, and labour market trends;

• Contribution to data management tasks to allow dissemination via the Rural Observatory, Startup Village Forum platform, Territorial Data Platform, or other platforms;

• Provision of data work and support tasks for analysis on specific themes such as  collaboration and finance for innovation.
