We need to produce HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. The posting includes description of role, responsibilities, required education, other expectations. No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should include About the role (maybe a brief intro), Responsibilities (multiple subcategories), Requirements (maybe education), Qualifications (maybe other expectations?), Skills (maybe not explicit). We must not invent filler. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting: It starts with "The Adjunct Professor, Sociology is a part-time, 4.5-month faculty position responsible to the Department Chair, Behavioral Sciences and Dean, School of Engineering, Mathematics & Sciences." That's about the role. Then "Professors provide classroom instruction and college service." Then list of General Expectations of all TJC Faculty (bulleted but not actual bullet list). Then "Responsibilities to the Student", "Responsibilities to the Department", "Responsibilities to the College", "Responsibilities to the Community". Then "Required Education Master’s degree with 18 graduate hours in the subject". Then "Other Expectations Perform other duties as assigned..." etc. We need to output HTML with

headings and appropriate
  • for lists,

    for prose. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So no heading for "Adjunct Professor, Sociology". We'll start with

    About the role

    then a paragraph summarizing the role description. Then

    Responsibilities

    then we can break into sub-sections? The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid subheadings but likely they want only those top-level headings. We could embed the responsibility categories as
    • with maybe nested? But we can just list each responsibility as list items. We need to preserve all substantive info: The many bullet-like sentences under each responsibility category. We'll convert each sentence into a list item. We also need Requirements: includes Required Education (Master's degree with 18 graduate hours in the subject). Also maybe "Other Expectations" could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The posting includes "Other Expectations Perform other duties as assignedWill have contact – in person, by email, or by phone – with staff, students, and the general publicMust exhibit a sensitivity to and an understanding of the diverse academic, socio-economic, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds of staff and students and to staff and students with disabilities NOTE: With or without reasonable accommodation, the individual in this position must possess the competencies and must be able to perform the essential functions and duties of the job as described above - including essential tasks requiring specific physical demands. The position description is not inclusive of all responsibilities or expectations and may be amended with or without prior notice." We could treat "Other Expectations" as Qualifications or Requirements. Since we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings available, we need to decide what to put where. The posting doesn't explicitly separate qualifications vs requirements. We could put education under Requirements, and other expectations under Qualifications (or Skills). But we must not invent content; we must preserve all substantive info. So we can put education under Requirements, and other expectations under Qualifications (or Skills). However "Other Expectations" includes performing other duties as assigned, contact with staff, sensitivity to diversity, etc. Those are more like qualifications/skills. We'll put them under Qualifications. Skills: Not explicitly listed; we could omit Skills section if no specific skills. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we might omit Skills if no explicit skill list. But we could include some implied skills like "sensitivity to diversity", "use of technology", etc. However those are already in responsibilities. Better to omit Skills if no explicit list. Benefits, Pay, Schedule: none, so omit. Thus final HTML:

      We need to ensure we include all substantive info from the posting. Let's extract all sentences. First paragraph: "The Adjunct Professor, Sociology is a part-time, 4.5-month faculty position responsible to the Department Chair, Behavioral Sciences and Dean, School of Engineering, Mathematics & Sciences. Professors provide classroom instruction and college service." We'll put that in About the role paragraph. General Expectations of all TJC Faculty: list of bullet-like statements: - Exhibit a commitment to excellence in teaching and learning - Maintain current and comprehensive knowledge and experience in the teaching field and assigned teaching discipline - Create a classroom environment reflecting professionalism, equity, respect and trust - Adhere to college policies - Abide by Employee Standards of Conduct - DH (Exhibit) - Perform job duties as assigned by department chair and dean (unless request is in violation of TJC policy or local/state/federal laws) - Stay current with and follow departmental and college policies - Complete required compliance trainings and stay current on professional development hours These are responsibilities (general). We'll include them under Responsibilities.

The position description is not inclusive of all responsibilities or expectations and may be amended with or without prior notice. We need to split that into sensible list items. Let's list them: - Perform other duties as assigned - Have contact – in person, by email, or by phone – with staff, students, and the general public - Exhibit sensitivity to and understanding of the diverse academic, socio-economic, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds of staff and students and to staff and students with disabilities - With or without reasonable accommodation, possess the competencies and be able to perform the essential functions and duties of the job as described above, including essential tasks requiring specific physical demands - Understand that the position description is not inclusive of all responsibilities or expectations and may be amended with or without prior notice Now we need to ensure we didn't miss any. Check the original text for any other bits: "NOTE: With or without reasonable accommodation, the individual in this position must possess the competencies and must be able to perform the essential functions and duties of the job as described above - including essential tasks requiring specific physical demands." Already captured. "The position description is not inclusive of all responsibilities or expectations and may be amended with or without prior notice." captured. Now we need to output HTML. We must not include any markdown fences. Just raw HTML. We'll structure:
