Dow · Freeport, TX · 3 wk ago
Analyst$43/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where there is real content. The posting includes: About Dow (intro paragraph), Opportunities description, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Skills, Additional Notes (TWIC card, export control, transportation). Also maybe "About Dow" as a section heading. The intro paragraph before "Dow has exciting opportunities..." could be considered "About the role"? Actually there is a generic company mission statement. Could treat as "About the role" or "About Dow". The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to appropriate headings.
We have:
- Intro paragraph: "At Dow, we believe...". Could be "About the role" or maybe "About Dow". Since they ask to use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose About the role for the introductory description of the role and company.
- Responsibilities: The paragraph describing what graduate intern will do: solving diverse problems, driving initiatives, developing expertise, collaborate, contribute to goals, types of projects, examples. That's responsibilities.
- Requirements: Could be Required Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Could be Preferred Qualifications? But we already have Required Qualifications; maybe we combine Required and Preferred under Requirements? The instruction: Use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could have:

- Qualifications: Could be Preferred Qualifications? But we already have Required Qualifications; maybe we combine Required and Preferred under Requirements? The instruction: Use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could have:
Requirements
for Required Qualifications.
Preferred Qualifications
maybe not in list but we could still use if content exists. The list of allowed headings includes Qualifications (generic). Could use Qualifications for both required and preferred? But better to separate: Requirements (required) and Qualifications (preferred). However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might combine required and preferred into one Qualifications section. But we have both required and preferred details; we could put them under Qualifications with subpoints? But we must use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can list required qualifications as a list, preferred qualifications as another list.
We also have Skills section: list of skills.
Additional Notes: TWIC card, export control, reliable transportation. This could be placed under Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Additional Information". Not in allowed headings but we could put under Requirements as extra items. However they said only use those headings; but we can also add other headings if needed? The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exclusive. But they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could add a section like "Additional Notes" if needed. But maybe we can incorporate those notes into Requirements (e.g., eligibility for TWIC, export control, reliable transportation). That seems reasonable.
Thus sections:
- About the role (intro paragraph + maybe description of opportunities across locations). Actually the intro includes description of Dow's mission and that they have opportunities across locations. Could be part of About the role.
- Responsibilities (the paragraph about what you will do).
- Requirements (Required Qualifications + Additional Notes like TWIC, export control, transportation). Could also include "Currently enrolled in a PhD program..." list.
- Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications: GPA >=3.0).
- Skills (list of skills).
We must not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule as they are not specified.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove all that.
We must preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract substantive content:
Intro: "At Dow, we believe in putting people first and we’re passionate about delivering integrity, respect and safety to our customers, our employees and the planet. Our people are at the heart of our solutions. They reflect the communities we live in and the world where we do business. Their diversity is our strength. We’re a community of relentless problem solvers that offers the daily opportunity to contribute with your perspective, transform industries and shape the future. Our purpose is simple - to deliver a sustainable future for the world through science and collaboration. If you’re looking for a challenge and meaningful role, you’re in the right place. Dow has exciting opportunities for Intern Graduate PhD Scientists and Engineers within Research and Development (R&D). Opportunities exist across the R&D function and are aligned with various organizations and business units in a variety of locations including Texas, Michigan, Pennsylvania and other locations in North America."
That's the intro.
Then: "We are seeking candidates who have expertise in one or more of the following areas: chemical engineering, materials science, chemistry, polymer science, theoretical modeling, mechanical engineering, data science and/or other related disciplines."
That could be part of Requirements.
Then: "As a graduate intern, you will be responsible for solving diverse and open-ended problems, driving initiatives that provide business and customer value and contribute to intellectual capital, and incorporating innovative technologies into practice. You will have the opportunity to develop expertise as an industrial researcher, collaborate across Dow teams to solve chemical-, material-, and industrial-related problems through both fundamental and applied research and contribute to Dow’s business and sustainability goals. The types of projects span from product research to process research to application development. Examples include new molecule or material synthesis, process scale-up, reaction engineering and study and application of structure-property relationships to new product development. The specific opportunities, including project type, geography, and timing, are variable."
That's responsibilities.
Then: "To stay connected with Dow, join our Talent Community for email alerts of new job opportunities that match your interest and events taking place in your area." This is like a call to action; could be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's a generic invitation. Might be considered not essential? It's not about the role specifics; but it's still substantive? It's a suggestion to join talent community. Might be considered not required; but we could keep it under About the role? It's not a responsibility or requirement. Might be considered extra; but we can keep it as a paragraph under About the role.
Then: "Required Qualifications: Currently enrolled in a PhD program in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Material Science, Polymer Science, Computer Science, Mathematics/Statistics, Data Science, or other related disciplines."
That's a list.
Then: "Preferred Qualifications: A minimum GPA of 3.000 (on a scale of 4.000)."
Then: "Skills: The following skills are necessary: Problem-Solving Skills: ... Technical Skills: ... Innovation and Technology Integration: ... Collaboration and Teamwork: ... Safety Mindset: ... Business and Customer Value Orientation: ..."
We need to format as list items.
Then Additional Notes: "Possession of a TWIC card or eligibility to obtain a TWIC card may be required for this position based on final hiring location. For information on TWIC eligibility requirements, please see: https://www.tsa.gov/for-industry/twic (If unable to access link, copy and paste in your browser.)Must be eligible to comply with the federally mandated requirements of U.S. export control laws.Reliable attendance is an expectation of every Dow employee; therefore, reliable transportation is required."
We can incorporate these into Requirements as bullet points.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no markdown fences.
We'll produce:

Responsibilities

Similarly for Required Qualifications: list of disciplines.
Preferred Qualifications: GPA.
Skills: list of skill categories with descriptions.
We'll need to preserve all substantive information; we must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the exact phrasing? Not necessarily exact but must not lose detail. We can rephrase slightly but must keep meaning.
We'll produce
