Агроэколог — специалист, который планирует и контролирует процесс переработки и вторичного использования сельскохозяйственных отходов. Помимо классических решений (вроде использования навоза в качестве удобрения), появляются все более неожиданные варианты: например, можно делать строительные материалы из грибов, выращенных в контейнерах на смеси измельченных кукурузных волокон, рисовой шелухи и других отходов сельского хозяйства.

Агрогенетик — специалист по генетической селекции и модификации растений и животных. Находит генетические решения, позволяющие повысить урожайность (поголовье), устойчивость к заболеваниям и изменениям климата и общую рентабельность овощной/зерновой культуры или породы.

В 2014 году молодые ученые из обнинского Института атомной энергетики НИЯУ МИФИ создали работающий на пневматике экзоскелет, который стал первым в России «гражданским» вариантом среди подобных разработок. Его можно использовать, например, при разборе завалов и для реабилитации пациентов после травм.

Проектировщик коботов— специалист, который проектирует системы, в которых человек работает в коллаборации с роботом. Его задача — «состыковать» возможности человека и машины и оптимально распределить между ними различные функции для решения производственных задач, а также обеспечить безопасность человека в присутствии робота. Варианты взаимодействия могут быть разными — например, робот может в основном работать сам, но останавливаться или ограничивать амплитуду движений, заметив поблизости человека. Или работать в непосредственном физическом контакте — например, если надо совершить очень точные и скоординированные действия (координация — преимущество человека) с очень тяжелым объектом (сила — преимущество робота).

Engineer who deals with time-delayed disasters, which people become aware of gradually, e.g. pollution around large industrial centres, the Pacific plastic dump, the thawing permafrost, radioactive dumps, etc. The engineer is tasked with designing and implementing plans to mitigate such disasters and prevent them from happening again. Aside from the usual environmental problems, such as global warming and deforestation, new threats are emerging, which humankind became concerned with only recently. For example, a large garbage patch was discovered in the Pacific Ocean in 1997. Because of oceanic currents, an area, which, according to various estimates, takes up between 0.7 and 15 million square kilometres, is littered with over 100 million tons of garbage. Most of the garbage consists of fine pieces of plastic that may be toxic and are eaten by fish or jellyfish. To handle such types of threats, we need highly qualified specialists able to make decisions under uncertainty.

Demand for simple, convenient and cheap solutions in the area will only increase. In addition, more and more attention will be paid to the personalization and creation of individual itineraries.

Advisor and responsible person for filling a virtual world with cultural content connected with a particular area. Creates the image and legend of a location, and adds design, identity, news, tourist services, and various events. All this makes the area unique, attracting visitors and turning it into a competitive tourist destination. The job already exists, and will grow in relevance as time goes on. Accordingly, requirements for specialists in this field will increase as well.

Professional guide able to develop and personally conduct unique tours according to the requests of individual clients. In a way, the job already exists and will become mainstream as traditional travel operators disappear.

Organizer, creator of, and guide to, game universes in real and virtual spaces. Urban quests are now popular, from the Running City to games like Claustrophobia, designed for confined spaces. There are also alternate reality games (ARG), with very fuzzy boundaries between the real world and the game. Games like those will only spread in the future.

The media policeman is a law enforcer in the media sphere. Identifies transgressions by monitoring media resources personally and/or using special software. In Russia, this function is partly performed by Roskomnadzor (Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology, and Mass Media) and the Safe Internet League. In the future, however, it will grow into a separate job due to increasing information abuse and cyber crime rates.

This specialist works in cooperation with psychologists, linguists and engineers to create software tools for finding, processing and distributing information on the Internet (search engines, semantic analyzers, aggregators, robots, writing).

Professional who selects information and a manner of presentation to match the requirements of a particular user. Today, the stream of content is offered to a user as a selection of recommended information products, based on geotargeting, the user’s search queries, or user interests which were specified in the user’s social network profile. This is done mostly externally, by an algorithm that someone created for their own purposes. In the future, people wishing to generate such a stream for themselves and by themselves will create demand for similar algorithms, which they will make themselves or order from relevant specialists.

Manages information channels and selects content matching users’ expectations by adjusting search engines, aggregators and processors of information. The profession already exists in digital media. However, demand for it will grow together with the expansion of individual mass media. Eventually, the specialty will turn into a versatile competency.

Specialist able to appraise new forms of artistic works consisting of heterogeneous elements and noted for their complexity and/or fragility (e.g. science art, street art or performance).
