Scientist I (Imaging Assay Development)

You are an imaging scientist with hands-on experience in immunofluorescence or FISH. You enjoy working at the bench, solving technical challenges, and building assays that actually translate into clinical impact.

We are partnered with a Guildford-based diagnostics organisation developing advanced liquid biopsy technologies to detect and characterise rare cancer cells. This is a company at the intersection of biology, engineering, and clinical application, combining imaging and molecular approaches to unlock new insights into disease.

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.
