Role Overview:

We are hiring for one of our clients, seeking a Physics Expert (Postdoc / Junior professor) to work on a contract basis. The position involves conducting advanced research in physics with applications to [specific domain, e.g., quantum computing, materials science, or theoretical modeling]. Candidates should have expertise in [specific subfield, e.g., condensed matter physics, quantum optics, or computational physics].

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and validate theoretical models to explain physical phenomena or optimize experimental designs.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate physics-based solutions into product development or research initiatives.
  • Publish findings in peer-reviewed journals or present results at academic and industry conferences.
  • Mentor junior researchers or students in physics-related projects and methodologies.
  • Analyze experimental data to identify trends, validate hypotheses, and propose next steps.

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.
