Adjunct
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions, etc. We need to parse the posting content. Let's extract relevant info: - Working Title: Adjunct (maybe "Adjunct Position"? Actually "Working Title Adjunct Position Number FA9976". So title: Adjunct. - Position Number: FA9976 (but we should not put Job ID as heading; can fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. Probably we can include a short paragraph with Position Number and Appointment Type etc. - Appointment Type: By semester: Fall/Spring - FTE .25 = 10 hours/week - Position Overview: paragraph about NCCU, benefits package, etc. - Primary Function of Organizational Unit: description of Department of Public Administration. - Primary Purpose of Position: description of teaching graduate-level course in state and local government within MPA program. Responsibilities: course preparation and delivery, assessment, feedback, coordination, create rigorous practice-oriented learning environment. - Areas of instruction may include list: state and local governmental institutions, intergovernmental relations, public management, policymaking and implementation, budgeting and finance, service delivery, governance, relationships among elected officials, professional administrators, community organizations, and the public. - Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: list bullet points. - Minimum Education/Experience: master's degree in related field and at least three years of progressively responsible professional experience in state or local government, intergovernmental administration, or closely related area of public service. Equivalent combination considered. - Licenses or Certification required by Statute or Regulation: None. - Benefits: mention "comprehensive benefits package and exclusive perks designed to support your work-life balance." Also earlier: "Join our team and enjoy a comprehensive benefits package and exclusive perks designed to support your work-life balance." That's a benefits statement. - Pay: Not specified. No pay info. So we should NOT create Pay section. - Schedule: FTE .25 = 10 hours/week, by semester Fall/Spring. That's schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section with that detail. - Benefits: we have a statement about comprehensive benefits package and exclusive perks. Could be considered Benefits section. - About the role: maybe Position Overview and Primary Function etc. Could be "About the role" section. - Responsibilities: list of duties: course preparation and delivery, assessment, feedback, communication, coordination, create rigorous practice-oriented learning environment. Also areas of instruction list maybe part of responsibilities. - Requirements: Minimum Education/Experience, Required Knowledge, Skills, Abilities. - Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? Could combine. - Skills: maybe part of Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. We need to decide sections to avoid duplication. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including education/experience and knowledge/skills), Benefits, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no
Adjunct. We need to include Position Number etc maybe in a short
before sections. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove Special Instructions to Applicants (though it mentions background checks etc - that's boilerplate? It's about final candidates subject to checks; could be considered boilerplate but maybe we keep? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The Special Instructions to Applicants includes "Final candidates are subject to criminal background checks, and education/license verification prior to employment." That's somewhat legal/boilerplate; likely remove. Also the list of required documents etc is application instructions; remove. Thus we keep only substantive job description. Let's extract paragraphs: Position Overview: "Be an Eagle - Where Purpose Takes Flight! Are you ready to make an impact? At North Carolina Central University (NCCU), we are more than an institution—we are a community rooted in a legacy of excellence and transformation. A historically Black university located in Durham, North Carolina, also known as ‘The City of Medicine,’ NCCU has been a cornerstone of education since 1910, fostering innovation and progress.

Primary Function of Organizational Unit: "The Department of Public Administration at North Carolina Central University strives to prepare students to become professionals with the knowledge and skills required for ethical leadership in the public and non-profit sectors through effective teaching, applied and scholarly research, and service to developing communities. The Department offers a Master of Public Administration (MPA) in traditional, executive, and online formats." Primary Purpose of Position: "The Department of Public Administration seeks an experienced public-service practitioner to teach a graduate-level course in state and local government within the Master of Public Administration program.

The adjunct instructor will be responsible for course preparation and delivery, assessment of student learning, timely feedback and communication with students, and coordination with the Department of Public Administration. The instructor is expected to create a rigorous, practice-oriented learning environment appropriate for graduate students preparing for or advancing careers in public service." Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: list: - Substantial knowledge of the structure, operation, and management of state and/or local government. - Ability to connect professional practice with concepts and theories in public administration, public management, and governance. - Knowledge of contemporary issues affecting state and local governments, including intergovernmental relations, public finance, policy implementation, service delivery, organizational management, and public accountability. - Strong written, oral, and interpersonal communication skills. - Ability to effectively engage and mentor graduate students with varied professional backgrounds and levels of experience. - Ability to organize and deliver graduate-level instruction and assess student learning. - Ability to use Canvas or a comparable learning management system and appropriate instructional technologies.

An equivalent combination of advanced education and significant professional expertise may be considered consistent with University requirements for graduate instruction." Licenses or Certification required by Statute or Regulation: None (we can note but not needed). Benefits: "Join our team and enjoy a comprehensive benefits package and exclusive perks designed to support your work-life balance." Also earlier in Position Overview: same sentence. Schedule: FTE .25 = 10 hours/week, By semester: Fall/Spring. Position Number etc: we can include a short paragraph: "Position Number: FA9976. Appointment Type: By semester (Fall/Spring). FTE: .25 (10 hours/week)." Now construct HTML. We'll have maybe:
Position Number: FA9976. Appointment Type: By semester (Fall/Spring). FTE: .25 (10 hours/week).
Then sections:About the role
Position Overview paragraph + Primary Function of Organizational Unit maybe combined.
But we need to avoid duplication. Could combine Position Overview and Primary Function into About the role. Alternatively, About the role could be Position Overview; Responsibilities could be Primary Purpose of Position (including areas of instruction and duties). Requirements could combine Minimum Education/Experience and Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. Benefits section. Schedule section. Let's do that. About the role: include Position Overview and Primary Function of Organizational Unit. Responsibilities: include Primary Purpose of Position (the teaching responsibilities, areas of instruction, duties). Requirements: include Minimum Education/Experience and Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (maybe as a combined list). Benefits: include the benefits sentence. Schedule: include FTE and semester info. We must not include headings with empty content. Now produce HTML. Make sure to use- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For Benefits we have just a sentence; not a list. Could still be
. For Requirements we have two parts: education/experience (sentence) and a list of knowledge/skills. Could present education/experience as
then
- for abilities.
Let's craft.
HTML:
- Substantial knowledge of the structure, operation
Position Number: FA9976. Appointment Type: By semester (Fall/Spring). FTE: .25 (10 hours/week).
