Agricultural scientist to religion scientific researcher
An agricultural scientist already meets 69% of what the religion scientific researcher role asks for. The move turns on 6 required skills not yet in the profile.
40.7/ 100
1 How much of what a religion scientific researcher is expected to do is already part of an agricultural scientist’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the religion scientific researcher role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A religion scientific researcher role treats 29 of its required skills as things an agricultural scientist already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- apply for research funding
- apply research ethics and scientific integrity principles in research activities
- communicate with a non-scientific audience
- conduct research across disciplines
- demonstrate disciplinary expertise
- develop professional network with researchers and scientists
What stands in the way is 6 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 31 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A religion scientific researcher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of an agricultural scientist background worth leading with.
- already held manage findable accessible interoperable and reusable data information skills
- already held think abstractly communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held communicate with a non-scientific audience communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held integrate gender dimension in research information skills
- already held promote the participation of citizens in scientific and research activities information skills
- already held apply for research funding information skills
All 31 carried skills, including the 29 the religion scientific researcher role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 27 missing skills fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
