Joshua R. Bruce, PhD

Senior People Scientist at Snap Inc.

I'm a computational sociologist who builds AI-enabled analytics products that help organizations understand and act on their workforce data. My work spans the full arc from research design to deployment: developing measurement instruments and predictive models, designing AI-assisted insight systems for senior leaders, and building the governance and delivery infrastructure that makes those systems trustworthy and scalable in practice.

Before Snap, I was a tenure-track faculty member at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a doctoral researcher at Duke University, where I used NLP, network analysis, and causal methods to study human capital, careers, and innovation in the US Civil Service.
