The Energy Demand Research Centre (EDRC) has a mission to accelerate the delivery of the UK’s net zero commitments by unlocking the potential of solutions to reduce energy demand as part of a transition to a fairer and healthier society. This post is to provide support to two of the five research themes led from the Institute for Transport Studies. The Place theme (led by Prof. Greg Marsden) explores how a more locally sensitive set of solutions could deliver more rapid and relevant change. The Governance theme (led by Prof. Kate Pangbourne) explores how to change decision-making processes to accelerate delivery.
We are looking for an Administration and Project Support Officer to join the EDRC team at Leeds. As a core member of the team, you will have a varied role liaising with the wider EDRC operations team led by University of Birmingham and supporting the effective operations and activities of the Place and Governance themes based at ITS.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
