36.2/ 100

1 Share of the physiologist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the toxicologist 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 physiologist role treats 38 of its required skills as things a toxicologist 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 safety procedures in laboratory
  • apply scientific methods
  • biology
  • calibrate laboratory equipment

What stands in the way is 3 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 54 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A physiologist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a toxicologist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held conduct experiments on animals information skills
  • already held develop patient treatment strategies assisting and caring
  • already held conduct research on fauna information skills
  • already held assist in clinical trials communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held develop pharmaceutical drugs management skills
  • already held perform lectures communication, collaboration and creativity

All 54 carried skills, including the 38 the physiologist role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 29 missing skills fall into 9 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.

20 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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.
