Data Science & Machine Learning

An exciting position has arisen to join a dedicated Research group that specialises in AI, ML and Data Science and is focused on developing solutions to mission focused problems in a national security context.

This role would suit someone with commercial and technical leadership experience who enjoys problem solving and working with high levels of autonomy.

The Role

The Principal Researcher will be responsible for the design and planning of multiple research projects some of which will be internal and others for a key customer. You will contribute to the research group’s broader strategy, bring new ideas to help drive competitive advantage while working with customers to triage opportunities and determine appropriate technical approaches.

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.
