Science Jobs in Engineering
Science Jobs are engineering the future in Ireland today as the demand for R&D Engineers, Polymer Engineers, QA/RA Engineers and openings for senior professionals such as, Head of Research & Development, Regulatory Affairs Specialists and Scientists continues to increase despite the economic downturn.
In particuar Research and Development investment from inward and outward sources has trebled in the past 10 years and is now at €2.6 billion or almost 1.7% of GNP. Intelectual property rights within the pharmaceutical, medical devices, software and ICT manufacturing industries are now being given serious consideration as a major and strategic contributor to Ireland’s economy which as a revenue generator has a far greater long term financial generational potential than energy resource such as offshore oil and gas which todate have proved so far to be both costly and disappointing.
With the advent of the internet, Ireland has found its engineers and scientists research and design skills are now open for trade with the world and unlike natural resources are only limited by the numbers we educate and train in our universities and colleges.
To this end, Ireland has already begun a move away from depending on the goodwill or self interest of overseas multinationals and is now making provision for the future itself by strategically identifying those industries and markets worldwide that our native human resource skills can be applied to and to gain our financial share of a global market that numbers in the Trillions of Euros.
As previously mentioned Ireland is already at an advanced stage of exploiting opportunities within the global nano technology markets that combine hybrid technolgies such as biopharma -nanobots, programable drugs and micro medical devices.
Instead of being discouraged by the limitations of what resources we have had in the past, Ireland is now positively assessing what we do have and the futher potential we have by shaping the world around us to our advantage to engineer the future.
After all the description of Ireland in the past as that as the Island of Saints and Scholars is not far from what we would wish overseas investors seeing Ireland anew as, the Isle of R&D.
