Welcome to Mysciencejobs where today we are looking at imaging technology as applied to the fields of medical science . In particular we will look at Radiology and ultrasonics, both similar but distinct branches of diagnostic medicine undertaken specifically by Radiologists and Sonographers.

Radiologists direct an array of imaging technologies such as (CT) computed tomography, (PET) Positron Emission Tomograph, Nuclear Medicine and (MRI) Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Radiology is amongst the most competitive branches of medicine with further advances in computer technology leading to rapid expansion in the field.

Sonographers are another specialist branch of  diagnostic medical professionals who utilse ultrasound to diagnose various medical conditions though the use of ultrasonics by producing imaging via scans, 3D, and Video. Sonographers require an indepth understanding of ultrasound physics, cross sectional anatomy, physiology, pathology and communication skills.

Career opportunities for medical professionals in these fields have grown considerably in Ireland despite current economic conditions and as a result Irish recruitment agencies such as Jackie Brown Medical have found themselves in great demand from clients seeking both radiologists and sonographers.

Saving and Serving Millions -Microsofts new Data Center sited in Dublin

Saving and Serving Millions -Microsofts new Data Center sited in Dublin

A good day to you from My science jobs on this cool but dry day where it pays to be cool!

Who’d have ever thought that the Irish weather would be a reason why science  jobs would come to Ireland?

Serious! It  appears that the Irish weather is one of the primary reasons why Microsoft have chosen to site a state of the art Data center in Dublin over several other competing potential sites globally. This site costing over €500 million has already directly resulted in Microsoft and supplier firms recruiting for hundreds of new science jobs and technical related disciplines in the fields of IT and Telecommunications. It will no doubt result in hundreds if not thousands of additional science jobs being created as it supports Irelands existing  science and technical infrastructure.

So why choose Ireland then?

Answer;-because it appears the weather is neither too hot or too cold, the new Data Center will not need the normally required and expensive to run  cooling towers and heating /ventilation systems. These use prodigeous amounts of electricity and are essential to support the servers operating parameters.

Consider if you will then, that these servers run 365 days a year 24 hours a day -that is a lot of electricity even a small reduction in use then can have massive direct savings. In the case of the new facility this can run into savings in the order of millions.  So before it starts, it has already the new site has already saved money. To be cool; stay tuned to mysciencejobs.com for further news and the best science jobs.
