RIPL’s mission is to use data and science to equitably impact policy and improve lives. We know that to achieve this mission, we need to bring together a team with diverse backgrounds, experiences, ideas and skills to ask the right questions, challenge and partner with each other to use facts and rigorous analysis to answer those questions, and reflect and represent the diversity of the communities we serve.

When building our team, we are dedicated to cultivating an environment of inclusion and equity as we look for smart, passionate and collaborative scientists and engineers who share our commitment to building better lives for all Americans. 

The RIPL organizational model encourages small, closely-knit teams that have the opportunity to be mentored by and engage in career growth opportunities from senior team members. We take the career development of our team members seriously, and are proud to cultivate organizational culture that promotes supportive, creative, and collegial relationships between and across teams. New team members often remark that they have never experienced an environment like RIPL's before -- one where colleagues are universally friendly, passionate, and eager to collaborate and brainstorm new ideas to help improve lives.
