Postdoctoral Research Fellow and Graduate Research Assistant positions

Apply Before

16 July 2026

The University of Exeter wishes to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (1.0FTE) and a Graduate Research Assistant (0.5FTE) to support the work of Pro Albert Chen. This European Commission and UK Research and Innovation funded posts are on a fixed term basis until 31 August 2028.

The successful applicants will contribute to the project NATALIE (https://www.natalieproject.eu/) by developing AI algorithms that integrate data from various sources to better understand, predict and control the performance of Nature Based Solutions (NBS) across a range of hydro-climatic events and conditions. A key outcome from the project will be deploying these algorithms to identify feasibility, spatial placement and configuration of NBS and evaluate their performances from a decision support context.

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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

The successful applicant must ensure AI and machine learning technologies are well communicated and robust to ensure data quality and trustworthy application. This data contextualisation will enable small data AI developed by the candidate to apply explainable algorithms to understand physical interrelation and connections between regional impacts and the implementation of the NBS.

The post will be responsible for delivering research outputs in the form of developing new algorithms, analysis of methodological decisions, analysis of NBS and implementation of decision support tools. The candidate will be responsible for internal communication internally across an extensive international project team through weekly reports, technical summaries and meetings, and externally through contributions to conferences and scientific articles.
