Application deadline: 01 Aug 2026
We have a PhD position available to work on a collaborative project between my group and the groups of Dr. Tatyana Shelkovnikova and Professor Ade Whitehouse to delineate the ultrastructures of nuclear condensates and determine how condensate dysregulation leads to diseases.
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.
