39.1/ 100

1 Share of the philosopher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the immunologist profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A philosopher role treats 32 of its required skills as things a immunologist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply for research funding
  • apply research ethics and scientific integrity principles in research activities
  • apply scientific methods
  • communicate with a non-scientific audience
  • conduct research across disciplines
  • demonstrate disciplinary expertise

What stands in the way is 8 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 37 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A philosopher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a immunologist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held perform lectures communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held develop scientific theories information skills
  • already held scientific literature generic programmes and qualifications
  • already held write research proposals communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held apply scientific methods information skills
  • already held manage findable accessible interoperable and reusable data information skills

All 37 carried skills, including the 32 the philosopher role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 23 missing skills fall into 4 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

21 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

Note

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.
