The growth in digitalisation has led to an increasing demand for digital skills in various job sectors. In particular, employers in scientific job areas have shown interest in candidates possessing digital competencies. This study aims to analyse the digital skill requirements for candidates in scientific job opportunities. The content analysis is based on a dataset comprising 126,360 scientific job advertisements from Science Careers spanning the period from 2019 to 2023. The findings of this study reveal an upward trend in the demand for digital skills. Furthermore, jobs offering higher salaries are more likely to require digital skills compared to jobs offering lower salaries. Notably, skills such as data analysis, statistics, Python, and R demonstrate increasing demand, while other skills such as data collection show a declining trend. These results significantly contribute to our understanding of the impact of digitalisation on the scientific landscape.
