46.3/ 100

1 Share of the thanatology researcher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT research consultant 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 thanatology researcher role treats 30 of its required skills as things a ICT research consultant already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • 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 10 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 thanatology researcher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT research consultant background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held plan research process information skills
  • already held conduct research interview communication, collaboration and creativity
  • 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 30 the thanatology 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.

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.
