Adjunct Faculty, Communication Studies
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Job Title: Adjunct Faculty, Communication Studies (not to be used as heading)
- Job Description Summary: Responsible to prepare and deliver coursework in engaging, innovative, and discipline-appropriate ways.
- Principal Responsibilities and Duties: list of duties.
- Additional Duties: In-person instruction for Dual Credit/ECHS, willingness to commute.
- Technology: proficiency using computer apps, online resources, LMS like Blackboard.
- Principal Professional Standards: list of standards.
- Required Education: Master's degree in Speech Communication; Master's with 18 graduate hours in Speech Communication or Master's in Communication Studies with analysis of coursework. No substitution.
- Preferred Experience: Faculty with expertise and experience working with both high school and college populations preferred.
- Qualities of a Successful Candidate: list of qualities.
- Application Requirements: list of documents: unofficial transcripts, updated CV/resume, cover letter. Also instructions about official transcripts (but that's application instructions; we should remove application instructions? The instruction says: remove application instructions. So we should drop the part about requesting official transcripts, email address, mailing address, etc. However we need to preserve substantive info; but application instructions are to be removed. So we can keep the list of required documents? That is part of application requirements, but maybe considered application instructions. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove application instructions entirely, which includes the list of documents? Might be considered application instructions. However the list of required documents is substantive for applying; but they said remove application instructions. I'd interpret that we should remove the entire "Application Requirements" section. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; does that conflict? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Then later says remove application instructions. So we need to balance: we should keep substantive info about the job (duties, requirements, qualifications, etc.) but not the instructions on how to apply (like where to send transcripts, email, etc.). The list of required documents is part of application instructions; but it's also substantive info about what to submit. However they said remove application instructions. I'd remove that section entirely, but maybe keep the list of required documents as part of "Requirements"? Not sure. Safer to keep the list of required documents as part of "Requirements" or "Application Requirements" but they said remove application instructions. I'd interpret that we should drop the entire "Application Requirements" subsection, but we could keep the list of required documents as part of "Requirements" if we treat them as qualifications? However they are not qualifications; they are application materials. The instruction says remove application instructions, so we should not include that section at all.
Thus we will not include any application instructions.
Other info: Number Of Openings: 7. Job Posting Close Date: May 31, 2027. Also there is a note about closing times: Job postings are removed from advertising at 12:00 A.M. on the closing date e.g., at midnight on the day before the closing date. Also ACC employees must maintain domicile in Texas. Also AR 4.0300.01. Also note about current ACC employees link to Workday. Also description of ACC as institution, mission, etc. That's "About the role" or "About the college". Could be placed under a section like "About the role" or "About the institution". The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can create sections: About the role (maybe summarizing the college mission and job summary), Responsibilities (principal responsibilities and duties plus additional duties), Requirements (required education), Qualifications (maybe preferred experience and qualities of a successful candidate), Skills (technology proficiency, professional standards), Benefits? Not mentioned. Pay? Not mentioned. Schedule? Not mentioned (though mention of evenings and weekends). Actually schedule info: "Ability to maintain an established schedule, including evenings and weekends, including possible multiple campus locations that may vary by semester." That's schedule info. So we could include a Schedule section with that detail. Also number of openings and closing date could be placed under About the role or maybe a separate section like "Job Details". But only allowed headings from list; we could put that info in About the role paragraph.
We must not create Pay/Benefits/Schedule sections unless posting actually states them. Schedule is stated (evenings and weekends). So we can include Schedule.
Benefits not stated; omit.
Pay not stated; omit.
Now we need to preserve all substantive information: we need to include the college description, mission, values, etc. Also the note about domicile requirement, closing times, etc. Also number of openings, closing date. Also the statement about ACC employees required to maintain domicile in Texas. Also the statement about job postings removal time. Also the note about current ACC employees link to Workday (but that's application instruction? It's a link for current employees; maybe we can keep as part of About the role? It's not boilerplate; it's a specific instruction for current employees. Might be considered application instruction though. Safer to keep it as part of About the role? It's not about the job itself but about application process. Might be considered application instruction. I'd remove it to be safe.
Also the Clery Act info, disclaimer, etc. Those are legal/boilerplate; remove.
Also the "Additional Duties" about in-person instruction, willingness to commute - that's substantive; include in Responsibilities or maybe separate.
Also "Technology" proficiency - include in Skills.
Also "Principal Professional Standards" - include in Skills or maybe Qualities.
Also "Required Education" - include in Requirements.
Also "Preferred Experience" - include in Qualifications.
Also "Qualities of a Successful Candidate" - include in Qualifications.
Also "Number Of Openings" and "Job Posting Close Date" - include in About the role maybe.
Also "Working Conditions" - includes physical demands; could be part of Responsibilities or maybe a separate section like "Working Conditions" but not in allowed headings. Could be included in Responsibilities.
Now we need to format with headings, - for lists,
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include any markdown code fences.
We must output only HTML fragment.

- Requirements: required education (master's degree etc.)
- Qualifications: preferred experience (faculty with expertise working with both HS and college populations) plus qualities of successful candidate (list). Could also include "Commitment to maintaining confidentiality" etc.
- Skills: technology proficiency (computer apps, online resources, LMS like Blackboard) plus principal professional standards (list). Could also include "Ability to maintain schedule, evenings and weekends" maybe schedule.
