Machine Learning Scientist (General Interest)

Aug 1, 2024

We are looking for a Machine Learning Scientist in Bayesian Optimisation.

You will be working closely together with scientists in the materials space to build machine learning models (OptApps) that will inform laboratory experimentation schedules, anywhere from complete-manual to fully self-driving.

Specifically, there will be an emphasis on identifying, implementing, and testing models for concrete sciences, e.g. as described in https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.18288.

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.
