The Cavendish Laboratory
The Cavendish Laboratory is the place of pioneering physics, that's been at the forefront of scientific discovery for 150 years, and will continue to be, because we never sit still. The Cavendish Laboratory has made several important discoveries, including: the discovery of the electron (1897), the neutron (1932), the structure of DNA (1953); thirty Cavendish researchers have won Nobel Prizes. We're trailblazers who continue to extend the frontiers of physics.
About the Department
The Department has moved into our new state-of-the-art, multi-million pound Ray Dolby Centre which will be the centrepiece of the new Cavendish Laboratory. This is an exciting and challenging time for the Department, and we would like to find a highly motivated individual with a positive attitude towards change and development to join us.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
A reorganisation and merger of several professional services teams within the Department of Physics has led to the creation of Cavendish Engineering - one of the largest, most advanced multidisciplinary university workshops within the UK.
We are looking for someone with a very strong electronics background, who wants to be challenged with unique problems daily - regularly back to first principles, with no two days likely to be the same. If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
