Careers and Jobs

The Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical sectors are huge in Ireland and growing. I posted previously about Elan and the sector. I recieved an email enquiring how to get additional information about the sector and how to locate the key companies in the sector. (Its ok I will send your CV and attend your interviews too).

Biotechnology Ireland – This site has good information on the sector including latest news and announcements. The site also has a directory list the Biotech employers in Ireland. So if your are keen to secure work in the Biotech sector this site could prove a valuable resource.

Alternatively there are the online jobboards and recruitment agencies.

Elan posted a greater loss than expected today BUT is positive that revenue will increase by up to 30% in 2008. Elan is a neuroscience-based biotechnology company and employs 2000 staff globally. Its HQ is in Dublin and it also has operations in Athlone, Bermuda, Georgia, Pennsylvania, New York, San Diego, San Francisco, United Kingdom and Japan.

The Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical sector is buoyant in Ireland at present with excellent careers and jobs. The sector employs about 17,000 directly and key employers include Schering-Plough, Wyeth, Merck, Pfizer, Yamanouchi, Genzyme, Allergan, Takeda, Pfizer, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline and Bristol- Myers Squibb
