2026-2027 Campus Internship - Research & Development (PhD)
for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections that have real specific content exists.
We need to parse content:
- Intro: "At Dow, we believe..." This is general company culture, maybe "About the role"? Actually it's more about Dow's values. Could be "About the role" or "About Dow". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have "About the role" for description of the intern role. Then "Responsibilities" for duties. "Qualifications" for required and preferred qualifications. "Skills" for skills list. Additional notes like TWIC, export control, transportation could go under "Requirements" maybe? Or could be part of "Qualifications". There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule mentioned. So we should not create those sections.
We also have "About Dow" describing company. Could be part of "About the role"? Might be separate but not in allowed headings. The allowed headings list includes "About the role". We could put company overview under "About the role" as well, or maybe we could add a heading "About Dow"? Not allowed. The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples, but we should prefer those headings. Probably we should stick to those. So we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills. Possibly also Requirements (but we have Qualifications covering required and preferred). Could also have Requirements separate for things like TWIC, export control, transportation. But those are more like requirements. Might be better to have a "Requirements" section for those additional notes. However we already have Qualifications for required/preferred qualifications. The posting includes "Required Qualifications:" and "Preferred Qualifications:" plus "Skills:" plus "Additional Notes". So we could have:
- About the role (intro + description of opportunity)
- Responsibilities (the bullet list of duties)
- Qualifications (required and preferred)
- Skills (the list of skills)
- Requirements (additional notes: TWIC, export control, transportation)
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must preserve all substantive information. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At the end there is EEO statement and accommodation info. That's boilerplate; we should remove it. Also "About Dow" description is substantive? It's about the company; we could include in About the role or maybe separate but we can include it there. The "About Dow" paragraph is substantive about the company; we can keep it.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract content.
Intro paragraph: "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."
Then: "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. 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."
Then description of role: "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."
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; maybe we can keep it as part of About the role? It's not a responsibility; it's more like a note. Could be included in About the role.
Then "Required Qualifications:" list.
Then "Preferred Qualifications:" list.
Then "Skills:" list with bullet-like sentences.
Then "Additional Notes" with TWIC card, export control, reliable transportation.
Then "About Dow" paragraph.
Then EEO statement etc (remove).
We need to format using headings, - for lists,
for prose.
We need to decide what goes into each section.
Section "About the role": Could include the intro paragraph, the description of opportunities, the role description, and the Talent Community note. Also maybe the About Dow paragraph? Might be better to put About Dow under "About the role" as it's about the company. But the heading "About the role" suggests role-specific. However we have no other heading for company overview. Could we add a separate heading "About Dow"? Not in allowed list but maybe permissible as e.g. The instruction says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. indicates those are examples, not an exhaustive list. So we could use other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. However we have company overview that is substantive; we could include it under "About the role" as part of the role context. That seems okay.
Alternatively we could have a section "About Dow" but not in list; risk of being considered not following instruction. Safer to put it under "About the role".
Thus:

That seems long but okay.
Next section: Responsibilities. The responsibilities are described in the paragraph after "As a graduate intern, you will be responsible for..." Actually that paragraph includes responsibilities. Could we extract bullet list? The text includes multiple responsibilities: solving diverse and open-ended problems, driving initiatives that provide business and customer value and contribute to intellectual capital, incorporating innovative technologies into practice, developing expertise as an industrial researcher, collaborating across Dow teams to solve chemical-, material-, and industrial-related problems through both fundamental and applied research, contributing to Dow’s business and sustainability goals, working on product research, process research, application development, new molecule or material synthesis, process scale-up, reaction engineering, study and application of structure-property relationships to new product development. Could format as - each.
We need to avoid duplication; we already used some of that in About the role. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can keep it in Responsibilities section, maybe not repeat in About the role. However we already included that description in About the role. To avoid duplication, we could move the responsibilities details to Responsibilities section and keep About the role more generic (intro, opportunities, locations, expertise sought). But the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can keep it in either place but not duplicate? It didn't forbid duplication, but better to avoid redundancy. Let's split: About the role includes intro, overview of Dow, opportunities, locations, expertise sought. Responsibilities includes the detailed duties.
Thus we need to adjust About the role to exclude the detailed responsibilities. Let's rewrite About the role accordingly.
About the role content:
- Intro paragraph about Dow values.
- Sentence: "Dow has exciting opportunities for Intern Graduate PhD Scientists and Engineers within Research and Development (R&D).

- Maybe also the Talent Community note.
- About Dow paragraph (company overview).
We'll keep that.
