Biomedical Expected Salary

hamsterboy

I'm currently considering Biomedical Scientist as a career option.
Could anybody tell me or direct me to a site that'll lay out my expected salary?

Cheers Guys

I'm not sure if there is such a thing, perhaps you would be better of looking up jobs which you think you would be eligible for and have a chance of getting, and find out what the salary scale is. I think that Medical Laboratory Scientists on HSE contracts tend to have a set wages structure, but obviouslky there's no strict scale for science in general.
Presumably you could be entering anything from science teaching to healthcare administration to histopathology, pharmaceutics, etc.

In relation to med lab scientists especially, this site might help

the hse pay rates are posted somewhere online on the intarwebs, can't find it at the mo though. its most definitley a set structure from the lab aides up to the lab managers.

shouldn't you be considering more than just salary when looking at career options (though biomed science in the hospital rocks )

Don't you have an intern-year as your third year? Perhaps you could ask your work colleagues when that happens.

In the research field IUA (www.iua.ie) will give you the academic track from post grad through PhD and on (look for IUA salary scales). Research isn't the populist option yet, though careers will improve significantly in the next few years.

Don't know about the scales for a med lab but the above scales are in reality fiction. Researchers are paid from grants which are sometimes applied for 1-2years previously and often the colleges don't adhere to the 20% pension, add to that the fact it is all short term contract.
