- Primary Responsibilities: list many bullet-like sentences. We'll convert to - .
- Education: Bachelor's degree in pharmacy. Doctoral degree in pharmacy (Pharm.D) preferred.
- Experience: Two (2) years of experience in a pharmacy, OR One (1) year post-baccalaureate or post-doctoral/post-graduate pharmacy residency (PGY1) plus one (1) year of experience, OR Two (2) years post-baccalaureate or post-doctoral/post-graduate pharmacy residency (PGY2).
- Certification/Licensure: Current Maryland licensure in good standing to practice as a pharmacist or a federal district licensure where the work will be performed upon hire. Certification in a relevant specialty by the Board of Pharmacy Specialties or Commission for Certification in Geriatric Pharmacy Board such as Certified Psychiatric Pharmacist (BCPP) or Board Certified Geriatric Pharmacist (BCGP) eligibility preferred.
- Other: Candidates selected may be subject to medical inquiries/exams; employees may be subject to pre-employment and random drug testing. Current pharmacist license in good standing (Maryland licensure or eligibility required).

Demonstrated knowledge of FDA regulations, GCP, investigational drug accountability, USP compounding standards, and clinical research operations. Excellent leadership, organizational, communication, and project management skills. Experience in investigational drug services, clinical research pharmacy, or related practice preferred.
- Hiring Range: $135,000 - $150,000, commensurate with education and experience.
We need sections: About the role (maybe a brief summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must only include sections if posting has real specific content. Let's see:
- About the role: we have description of position, purpose, location, supervising, supporting trials. That's substantive. So include.
- Responsibilities: we have list of primary responsibilities. Include.
- Requirements: includes education, experience, certification/licensure, other (medical inquiries, drug testing). Could be considered requirements. We'll include.
- Qualifications: maybe overlapping with requirements; but we can separate Education/Experience as Qualifications? The instruction says use headings like Qualifications, Skills, etc. We need to decide what to put where. We have Education, Experience, Certification/Licensure, Other. Could put under Requirements. Qualifications could be things like preferred PharmD, certification eligibility. But we can combine.
Better to follow typical job posting: About the role (summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (education, experience, licensure), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have schedule info? Not explicitly; only mention flexible work schedules and teleworking options (if applicable per job). That's somewhat schedule info but vague. The instruction: never create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does mention flexible work schedules and teleworking options (if applicable per job). That's a statement about schedule flexibility. Could include Schedule section with that info. However it's conditional "if applicable per job". Might be considered not specific enough? It does state flexible work schedules and teleworking options (if applicable per job). That's somewhat specific. I'd include Schedule section with that note.
Pay: we have hiring range $135k-$150k. Include Pay section.
Benefits: we have detailed benefits. Include Benefits section.
Now we must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, Title IX, etc. Remove those.
Also remove duplicated lines.
Now craft HTML.
We'll need to wrap each section:
About the role
then ...
or - for lists.
For About the role: a paragraph summarizing.
Responsibilities: list each responsibility as

Requirements: maybe list education, experience, licensure, other as

Pay:
Hiring range: $135,000 - $150,000, commensurate with education and experience.
Schedule: Flexible work schedules and teleworking options (if applicable per job).
Make sure not to include filler like "commensurate with experience" in Pay? Actually that's okay because it's part of the range statement. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For Pay we have actual range, so fine. For Schedule we have flexible work schedules and teleworking options (if applicable per job). That's not placeholder; it's a statement. So okay.
Now ensure we don't include any extraneous text like "Job Reg or CII Exempt Staff Full Time/Part Time Full-Time Shift Day Job Organization School of Medicine - Kahlert Institute for Addiction Medicine Job Posting Sep 10, 2026 Unposting Date Sep 24, 2026, 10:59:00 PM". Remove.
