We are looking for the following skills:

  • A PhD or similar experience in computational hydrology, land-surface modelling, climate science or similar field
  • Demonstrated experience running large-scale hydrological models and working in HPC environments
  • Strong understanding of the processes driving river floods and familiarity with large-scale open datasets characterising hydroclimate dynamics and landscape attributes
  • Fluency in Python and familiarity with software development best practices, including version control (Git/GitHub)
  • A pragmatic approach to numerical problem-solving and strong innovation skills demonstrated through academic or project work
  • An inspiring and supportive team player with an open mind

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.
