Edinburgh Science & Technology Careers
This area is an important centre of medical and biological
science, particularly Midlothian; the Edinburgh
Science Triangle contains world-class organisations such as the
Edinburgh Technopole, the Roslin Institute and the National
Research Council.
Our reputation in this sector has developed from strong
scientific origins: Charles Darwin studied in Edinburgh and the
foundations of modern scientific medicine were established at the
University of Edinburgh. The Roslin Institute, an offshoot of the
university, made international headlines in 1977 when it created
the world’s first genetically engineered mammal: Dolly the
Sheep.
The electric technology market is broad ranging and encompasses
informatics, microelectronics and optoelectronics. The industry has
very strong links to The University of Edinburgh, which has the
largest concentration of excellence in this area within the UK.
Edinburgh City Region is a world-influencer in science and is a
fantastic location for starting your career in this sector.
