for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if there is real specific content.
We need to parse posting details.

We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Special Instructions to Applicants" maybe not needed if no content? But there is Physical Requirements after that. We can treat Physical Requirements as a section? The allowed headings list includes Benefits, Pay, Schedule, etc. Physical Requirements is not in list; we should not create a heading for it unless we map to something like "Requirements"? But we already have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Physical Requirements could be considered part of "Requirements"? However the instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put Physical Requirements under "Requirements" maybe? But we already have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications; we could combine them under "Qualifications". The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can choose which headings to use based on content.
We have:
- About the role: could be the Position Summary Information (Job Description Summary). That's about the role.
- Responsibilities: maybe not explicitly listed; but teaching History courses is a responsibility. Could be under Responsibilities.
- Requirements: could include Required Qualifications and maybe Physical Requirements? But we have separate Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine under Qualifications.
- Qualifications: we have Required and Preferred.
- Skills: maybe organizational and communication skills, instructional technology.
- Benefits: none given.
- Pay: not given (Pay Rate not specified). So we should not create Pay section.
- Schedule: we have info: Courses scheduled to meet face-to-face, in the morning and early afternoon. Online classes not available. That's schedule info.
Thus we can create sections:
About the role
with paragraph summarizing role.
Responsibilities
maybe list duties: teach History courses, face-to-face morning/early afternoon, promote active and collaborative learning, use instructional technology.
Qualifications
with sub-sections? Could use - for Required and Preferred? But we need to preserve all info. Could do two lists: Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications as subheadings? But we cannot create extra headings beyond allowed list? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use for section headings (e.g. ...)". Likely they expect only those headings. So we should stick to those. Within Qualifications section we can have paragraphs describing required and preferred.
Similarly Skills: we can list organizational and communication skills, instructional technology.
Schedule: we can describe meeting times.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can include them in a short paragraph maybe under About the role? But instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include Posting Number and Close Date maybe in a short paragraph at top? But we need to preserve ALL substantive information. Posting Number is metadata; we can fold into a short p. Close Date also metadata. Quicklink maybe also metadata. Reference Requests maybe minor metadata; we could drop? But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; reference requests maybe not substantive for job description? Might be considered metadata. The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include a short p with Posting Number, Close Date, Quicklink, Reference Requests.
But we must not include application instructions (like Required Documents Resume Optional Documents). That's application instructions; we should drop.
Also drop "Special Instructions to Applicants" if no content besides Physical Requirements (which we already captured). But we already captured Physical Requirements under Requirements maybe.
Let's structure:

Posting Number: 20110586-1. Close Date: 11/29/2026. More details: Posting link. Reference requests: up to 3 references accepted.
Responsibilities
- Teach History courses in a face-to-face format (morning and early afternoon).
- Promote active and collaborative learning through a variety of teaching methods.
- Relate to students and foster an engaging learning environment.
- Demonstrate use of instructional technology in teaching.
Qualifications
Required: Master’s degree with at least 18 semester credit hours of graduate coursework in History; excellent organizational and communication skills.
Preferred: Master’s degree or higher in History; previous college teaching experience.
Skills
- Organizational and communication skills.
- Ability to promote active and collaborative learning.
- Proficiency with instructional technology.
Schedule
Courses meet face-to-face in the morning and early afternoon; online sections are not offered at this time.
We should not include Benefits, Pay sections as not provided.
Check for any duplicated lines: we have not repeated.
Check for boilerplate: we removed EEO etc.
Check for physical requirements: we omitted them. Are they substantive? They describe physical demands; maybe they should be included under Requirements or Responsibilities? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information. Physical requirements are substantive. We need to include them somewhere. Could be under Responsibilities? Or maybe under Requirements? Since we have a "Requirements" heading allowed, we could put physical requirements under Requirements. But we already used Qualifications for educational requirements. We could rename "Requirements" section to include both qualifications and physical demands. However we already used Qualifications heading. The allowed headings include Requirements and Qualifications both. So we could have both: Requirements for physical demands, Qualifications for education/experience. That seems appropriate.
Thus we add:
Requirements
Must be able to perform sedentary work (sitting most of the time) with occasional exertion of up to 10 pounds of force; capable of reaching, fingering, talking, hearing, and close visual acuity for tasks such as preparing data, transcribing, viewing a computer terminal, and extensive reading. No substantial exposure to adverse environmental conditions.
We need to ensure we don't create filler like "not specified". We have specifics.
Now we need to ensure we didn't repeat info: Responsibilities list includes teaching History courses, promoting active learning, relating to students, using instructional technology. Qualifications list includes education and experience. Skills list includes organizational/communication skills, active learning, instructional technology. There's some overlap: instructional technology appears both in Responsibilities and Skills. That's okay; we keep as per source.
Check for duplication: "Excellent organizational and communication skills" appears in Required Qualifications and also in Skills list; we kept it.
Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "Special Instructions to Applicants". Not included.
Check for "Other Information" content: "All applicants must demonstrate the ability to promote active and collaborative learning through a variety of teaching methods, as well as relate to students. Excellent organization and communication skills as well as the demonstrated use of instructional technology are required." This is essentially covered in Responsibilities and Skills.
Now ensure we didn't include "Close Date" etc as heading; we folded into a short p.
Now output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft final HTML.
We need to wrap sections in appropriate tags. No or . Just the fragment.
We'll output:
