Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will also help shape our taught portfolio, advising how developments in AI, national digital skills priorities, employer needs and the changing recruitment market should inform a state-of-the-art, research-informed student experience.
With a PhD in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science or a closely related area, you will have a sustained record of internationally excellent research, successful external funding and academic leadership appropriate to Professorial level. You will have led research groups, centres, themes or major collaborative projects and demonstrate academic, industrial, policy or societal impact.
You will have experience of doctoral supervision and a strong commitment to developing colleagues and research students through mentoring, collaboration and inclusive leadership. Experience of REF, Unit of Assessment coordination, research environment or impact development, or equivalent research assessment activity, would be particularly valuable. You will also contribute to curriculum leadership, ensuring students engage with contemporary AI knowledge, professional practice, responsible innovation and the skills required for a rapidly changing digital economy.
