University of Sheffield, Information School
Application Deadline: September 27, 2023.
We have an exciting opportunity in the Information School at the University of Sheffield for an excellent Postdoctoral Researcher to work on the AHRC-funded project ʻPatterns in Practice: cultures of data mining in science, education and the artsʼ. ʻPatterns in Practiceʼ is researching how practitionersʼ beliefs, values and feelings interact to shape their engagement with data mining and machine learning in three specific contexts: pharmaceutical drug discovery, higher education learning analytics, and arts practice.
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.
