Role Overview:

We are hiring for one of our clients, seeking a Physics Professor/Researcher (PhD) to contribute to advanced research in quantum physics and related fields on a contract basis. The position requires deep expertise in theoretical and experimental physics, with a focus on publishing high-impact findings. Candidates must demonstrate a strong publication record and ability to mentor junior researchers.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Conduct independent and collaborative research in physics, with emphasis on quantum mechanics, condensed matter, or high-energy physics.
  • Publish original research in peer-reviewed journals and present findings at international conferences.
  • Supervise graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, including project guidance and manuscript review.
  • Develop and refine theoretical models to explain experimental observations or propose new hypotheses.
  • Secure external funding through grant applications and partnerships with academic institutions or industry partners.

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.
