Applications are invited for two positions in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow:

  • A fully funded three-year PhD position open to international students
  • A three-year PDRA position

These positions are supported by the Leverhulme Trust and focus on the mathematical and computational modelling of electrically driven helical microswimmers and related active matter systems.

The PhD project will involve theoretical and computational work, including asymptotic methods, hydrodynamics, and the modelling of propulsion and interactions in viscous flows. International students are welcome to apply.

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.
