About The Role

We're seeking an experienced Associate Principal Scientist with expertise in kidney disease to join the In Vivo Pharmacology team, providing scientific leadership across complex, client-sponsored drug discovery programmes. Experience in inflammation would also be advantageous.

You'll design, lead and deliver high-quality in vivo studies at the forefront of translational science, shaping experimental strategy and driving scientific innovation across multiple therapeutic projects.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the design, execution and interpretation of in vivo pharmacology studies within kidney and/or inflammation disease programmes
  • Act as Project Lead, coordinating multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-quality, timely outcomes for client projects
  • Provide scientific leadership and technical expertise, guiding experimental strategy and solving complex research challenges
  • Drive innovation, implementing novel experimental approaches and technologies to enhance project success
  • Collaborate closely with internal teams and external clients on study design, data interpretation and scientific discussions
  • Support and mentor team members; line management responsibilities may form part of the role

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.
