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.
The post holder will work closely with the Birkbeck ISMB Co-Director, the UCL-based ISMB Administrator, ISMB academic and research staff and Faculty professional services teams, as well as other colleagues across the ISMB and beyond.
You will take an active role as a member of a number of committees and working groups associated with the Institute, providing administrative support (coordinating agenda, contacting attendees, booking rooms and refreshments, minute taking etc.) and occasional project work.
As the Institute relies on collaboration and shared resources with the colleagues in the Structural Molecular Biology Research Department of UCL, the post holder will also liaise with UCL staff and provide administrative support in managing this interaction.
This opportunity would build on previous university-based administrative experience primarily in science research-related contexts.
