The Role
We're building a foundation model of the brain and behaviour across species, and the data that powers it is produced in-house by a small, high-trust team. This role sits at the centre of that effort. As a Human Data Collection Associate, you run data collection sessions on assigned rigs, preparing and calibrating the setup, running the session, and making sure the data you hand off is clean and complete.
It is a hands-on role with real ownership. You'll report to the Human Data Collection Lead and work alongside the Hardware Systems team who build and maintain the rigs. You'll also take part in sessions as a contributor of your own data, so comfort being recorded during collection is part of the role.
Responsibilities
Running data collection
- Prepare, calibrate, and run recording sessions from start to finish, following defined protocols precisely
- Fit sensors, verify signal quality in real time, and resolve issues before they affect a session
- Contribute your own data as a session participant where the protocol calls for it
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.

Operations and equipment
- Keep your recording setup maintained, charged, and ready, and track its condition over time
- Support session scheduling and keep collection running smoothly day to day
- Help onboard and coordinate short-term participants as we scale collection
