34.6/ 100

1 Share of the religion scientific researcher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the mineralogist 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 religion scientific researcher role treats 31 of its required skills as things a mineralogist 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 4 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 34 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 a mineralogist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held develop scientific theories information skills
  • already held apply scientific methods information skills
  • 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

All 34 carried skills, including the 31 the religion scientific researcher role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 24 missing skills fall into 7 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.

9 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.
