About The Role
Our group invites applications by highly talented researchers of outstanding ability for a Research Associate position in General Framework for Nonequilibrium Processes: From Theory to Applications as part of the ERC Frontier Research Advanced Grant “Machine-Aided General Framework for Fluctuating Dynamic Density Functional Theory (MAGFFDDFT)”. You will lead the overarching phase of this cutting-edge project, that transitions its computational-theoretical developments into targeted practical applications.
What we are looking for
You should have (or about to receive) a PhD in Applied Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, or other related field, and a strong foundation and proven record in general mathematical modelling, mathematical techniques (analytical – numerical), scientific computing and numerical methods.
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.
