Adjunct Lecture, Biology

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (job summary), Responsibilities (Essential Duties & Responsibilities & Knowledge Skills & Abilities?), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), maybe Preferred Qualifications as part of Requirements? Could combine. Also Pay: we have pay rate: $1,082.40 per instructional unit. That's specific, so include Pay section. Schedule: mentions may be assigned alternative work schedules (e.g. evenings) depending on applicants’ availability and needs. That's schedule info, so include Schedule section. Benefits: not mentioned. So no Benefits section. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions (attach resume etc). Also remove legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay is specific, include. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to decide what goes into lists. The duties list is long; we can make each duty as

• . The responsibilities list includes many sentences; we can split into list items. The qualifications: Minimum Qualifications (one sentence) maybe as

  or

• . Preferred Qualifications as
• . Also mention Utah residence requirement, work authorization, etc. Those are substantive; include maybe in Requirements or About the role? They are conditions of employment. Could be in Requirements section. We need to preserve all substantive information: work authorization, Utah residence within 30 days, etc. Also mention that it's a pooled position, department reviews applications as positions become available, paid per instructional unit, adjunct positions semester-by-semester, official transcripts required within 30 days of hire, etc. Also mention that instructors may be assigned to any SLCC location and alternative work schedules (evenings). Also mention that all instructors must teach classes per guidelines, etc. That's covered in duties. Also mention that you are employed as adjunct faculty on contract-to-contract basis, no future expectation, employment may be terminated at will, maintain professional boundaries. That's substantive; include maybe in About the role or Responsibilities? Could be in a section like "Employment Terms". But we only have predefined headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use About the role for general description, Responsibilities for duties, Requirements for minimum qualifications, Qualifications for preferred qualifications, Skills maybe for abilities? But we have many ability statements; could put under Skills. However we must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role (job summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (abilities), Pay, Schedule. That seems okay. We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each section has substantive content. Let's extract content: About the role (Job Summary): - Department of Biology at SLCC seeks to hire a student-centered and collaborative faculty member, skilled in scholarship of teaching and learning, embraces mission of community colleges and needs of students at open-access institutions. - Successful candidate will join active and innovative department whose members engage in evidence-based instructional practices. - Purpose of adjunct instructor position: prepare and teach college-level courses in biology, effectively manage learning environment including Canvas, appropriately assess student learning and course outcomes. - Instructor may be assigned to any SLCC location and may be assigned alternative work schedules (e.g. evenings) depending on applicants’ availability and needs of Biology Department. - All instructors expected to teach classes per established guidelines (Faculty Handbook) and policies (Academic Freedom, Professional Responsibility and Tenure Policy – Ref#C4S01.01). - This is a pooled position. Department reviews applications as positions become available. - This position is paid at $1,082.40 per instructional unit. - In accordance with SLCC policy, adjunct positions are offered on a semester-by-semester basis with no guarantee of continued employment. - Official transcripts are required for those who are offered employment within 30 days of hire. - Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. - All employees expected to maintain a permanent residence within the State of Utah as a condition of employment.

Employment may be terminated At Will at any time. Required to maintain professional boundaries with all SLCC students. That's a lot; could be split across sections. Responsibilities (Essential Duties & Responsibilities & Knowledge Skills & Abilities): List each duty as bullet. Let's extract duties: - Teaches courses consistent with department procedures, appropriate Course Curriculum Outline (CCO), and catalog description. - Teaches assigned classes at the scheduled time and place and meets during required contact hours. - Uses appropriate resources and technology in the delivery of courses. - Creates an effective, supportive learning environment for students regardless of the delivery method. - Assists in maintaining a safe and mutually respectful instructional environment. - Prepares and submits incident reports to the Dean of Student Services for inappropriate student behavior as defined by the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities Policy. - Provides each student with an online syllabus (Simple Syllabus) at the first day of the course term. - Demonstrates the incorporation of active and applied learning in courses taught (hands-on and engaged activities). - Uses a variety of appropriate assessments to evaluate student performance. - Provides appropriate feedback on and returns all assignments in a timely fashion per department standards.

That's many. Requirements (Minimum Qualifications): - Masters Degree in Biology in an accredited program or closely related field with 18 graduate credit hours of Life Science coursework. Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications): - Teaching experience in the area of Biology related to the course(s) being taught. Skills (maybe combine abilities): But we already have abilities in responsibilities; maybe we can put ability statements under Skills. However the abilities are also part of responsibilities. Could split: responsibilities list the teaching duties; skills list the abilities/competencies. Let's decide: Responsibilities: teaching duties list (first 20 items). Skills: abilities/competencies list (communication, working with diverse groups, on-site presence, etc). Also maybe include knowledge of FERPA, ADA, etc as skills. Pay: $1,082.40 per instructional unit. Schedule: may be assigned alternative work schedules (e.g. evenings) depending on applicants’ availability and needs. Also may be assigned to any SLCC location. We also have info about location: may be assigned to any SLCC location. We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. We'll try to allocate. Let's craft HTML:
