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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We believe in an inclusive working environment for all. We are welcoming, supportive, and caring, and pride ourselves on our positive community. Diversity is vital to our success and fundamental to our values. We are, therefore, particularly keen to receive applications from people who are currently underrepresented as ethnomusicologists, such as those of underrepresented genders (e.g., women, non-binary, trans) and people from Black, Asian or minority ethnic backgrounds.
Shortlisting is anonymous: we cannot see any personal data or the ‘Additional Information’ section in your application until shortlisting is completed. Shortlisting is by criteria-based questions based on the person specification, rather than CV or letter.
As a Teaching Associate you will be expected to:
- Deliver innovative teaching.
- Contribute positively and proactively to the Department’s teaching culture.
- Assess Undergraduate students in music.
- Take a proactive role in the pastoral support of students, dealing with sensitive issues.
- Be responsible for administrative duties.
- Organise a research symposium.
This is a fixed-term, part-time (21.75 hours per week) role commencing 1 February 2027 until 30 June 2027.
