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'll also have authority to set up trader accounts and place orders for R&D supplies and services. We trust the person in this role to work independently.
What we're looking for
- A PhD in a biological sciences discipline, or equivalent research experience
- Three or more years working in the biotech industry
- Hands-on experience developing and validating cell-based and functional assays
- Practical knowledge of lentiviral vectors, viral vector production or cell and gene therapy
- Confidence dealing with customers and explaining technical work to a technical audience
- The kind of person who's comfortable in a team of eight, where you build things rather than inherit them
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Hours and working pattern
37.5 hours per week, 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. Occasional additional hours as the work demands.
What you'll get
- A competitive salary, commensurate with experience
- Real influence over a technology platform at an early stage
- International conference and customer travel
