Careers and Jobs

IBM has announced that it is setting up a cloud computing centre in Dublin. This is the first of its kind in Europe and the project will be supported by the IDA. This development will create about 21 new jobs. Nine of these will be research based. OK – it is not many jobs but they are high-end jobs. Its quality and not quantity – that is what the government will say.

The new Dublin-based site will act as the European hub and it will provide research and other services to future facilities across EMEA. The site will also train lecturers at the DIT’s School of Computing in the area of cloud computing.

The Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment – Micheal Martin made the announcement and said that the decision to locate in Ireland highlighted the importance of Ireland in IBM’s global R&D.

Keep your eyes peeled for these jobs over the coming months and for the active readers why not call IBM to find out exactly when these jobs will be coming on stream.
