University of Pittsburgh · Pittsburgh, PA · 1 mo ago
OTHRFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections that have real content: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate. Keep substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract sections:
- About the role: maybe a paragraph summarizing role: "Supervises team and manages day-to-day animal care operations. Ensures proper functioning and maintenance of equipment. Directs the enrichment and social animal housing programs at assigned facility. Maintains records, oversees billing, and ensures compliance with processes, practices, and regulations." Also "The Division of Laboratory Animal Resources (DLAR) Animal Care and Operations Supervisor will be responsible for managing daily operations and staff involved with the provision of animal husbandry and care."
We can combine.
- Responsibilities: list bullet points: Supervise personnel including assessing and recruiting for labor needs, creating work assignments, managing employee performance and training serving as a mentor, and facilitating professional development; Manage facility and equipment operations including assessing supply and capital needs, preventive maintenance schedules, facility projects, space demands and vendor coordination; Provide support and services to researchers and their teams to ensure study perimeters are met; Establish and maintain collaborative, productive working relationships with immediate staff, as well as, various DLAR (vet services, administration) and University (IACUC, EHS) departments; Promote animal welfare and well-being; Ensure that the daily operations and activities of the assigned animal facility are accomplished in accordance with DLAR guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures, University policies, federal regulations, and industry standards and guidelines.
Also maybe "Maintains records, oversees billing, and ensures compliance with processes, practices, and regulations." Could be part of responsibilities.
- Requirements: Minimum Education Level Required Bachelor's Degree; Minimum Years Of Experience Required 2; Combination of education and relevant experience will be considered in lieu of education and/or experience requirement. Additional Details About Required Licensure/Certification: Certification by the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS) at the Laboratory Animal Technician (LAT) level. External candidate must achieve within 12 months of start date.
- Qualifications: maybe "A successful candidate must have two years of lab animal experience with one year in a supervisory capacity; consistently demonstrate professional verbal, written, and interpersonal skills; execute effective time and process management; possess positive customer service and team-building skills; be proficient with technology in order to use common applications (e.g. email, Microsoft Office, Zoom) and to learn CAMS (DLAR business application software); be available to work occasional weekends and holidays; stand for extended periods of time; lift 50 pounds; push/pull heavy equipment and pass the mandatory criminal and social background checks." Also "Preferred candidate will have completed criteria in the DLAR Career Development Program." Also "Candidates working in the Rangos Research Building at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh will need to obtain Child Protection Clearances." Also "Vaccinations and/or TB testing may be required."
- Skills: maybe list technical skills: proficient with technology, email, Microsoft Office, Zoom, learn CAMS; professional verbal, written, interpersonal; time and process management; customer service; team-building.
- Benefits: Not explicitly given. There's "Hiring Range Commensurate with experience." That's pay but not specific; we should not create Pay section if only "commensurate with experience" (that's placeholder). According to rule: 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. So we cannot create Pay section because it's just "commensurate with experience". Benefits: none stated. Schedule: "Work Schedule Monday - Friday, 7:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.; some weekends and holidays". That's specific, so we can create Schedule section.
- Also "Work Arrangement On-Campus: Teams that work on campus, in an office, or in a lab." Could be part of schedule or maybe a separate section? Not in allowed headings; we could include under Schedule or maybe as a paragraph in About the role. Probably include in Schedule or as a note.
- Also "Relocation Offered No", "Visa Sponsorship Provided No", "Background Check For position finalists, employment with the University will require successful completion of a background check", "Child Protection Clearances ..." These are details but not in allowed headings; we could fold into Requirements or Qualifications as bullet points.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove "The University of Pittsburgh is an equal opportunity employer / disability / veteran." Also remove "Assignment Category Full-time regular Job Classification Staff.Supervisor - Animal Care Job Family Research Job Sub-Family Animal Research Campus Pittsburgh". Might be metadata; we can drop or fold into short p.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like "Minimum Education Level Required Bachelor's Degree", "Minimum Years Of Experience Required 2", "Combination of education and relevant experience will be considered in lieu of education and/ or experience requirement." etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We'll structure:

Work Schedule Monday - Friday, 7:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.; some weekends and holidays. Work Arrangement On-Campus: Teams that work on campus, in an office, or in a lab.
We might also include "Relocation Offered No", "Visa Sponsorship Provided No", "Background Check required", "Child Protection Clearances" maybe under Requirements or Qualifications as bullet. We need to ensure we don't repeat content unnecessarily but preserve all. Let's extract details precisely. From text: First paragraph: "Supervises team and manages day-to-day animal care operations. Ensures proper functioning and maintenance of equipment. Directs the enrichment and social animal housing programs at assigned facility. Maintains records, oversees billing, and ensures compliance with processes, practices, and regulations." Then: "DLAR-Animal Husbandry The Division of Laboratory Animal Resources (DLAR) Animal Care and Operations Supervisor will be responsible for managing daily operations and staff involved with the provision of animal husbandry and care." Then bullet-like sentences: "The Candidate Will Supervise personnel including assessing and recruiting for labor needs, creating work assignments, managing employee performance and training serving as a mentor, and facilitating professional development; Manage facility and equipment operations including assessing supply and capital needs, preventive maintenance schedules, facility projects, space demands and vendor coordination; Provide support and services to researchers and their teams to ensure study perimeters are met; Establish and maintain collaborative, productive working relationships with immediate staff, as well as, various DLAR (vet services, administration) and University (IACUC, EHS) departments Promote animal welfare and well-being; Ensure that the daily operations and activities of the assigned animal facility are accomplished in accordance with DLAR guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures, University policies, federal regulations, and industry standards and guidelines." Then: "A successful candidate must have two years of lab animal experience with one year in a supervisory capacity; consistently demonstrate professional verbal, written, and interpersonal skills; execute effective time and process management; possess positive customer service and team-building skills; be proficient with technology in order to use common applications (e.g. email, Microsoft Office, Zoom) and to learn CAMS (DLAR business application software); be available to work occasional weekends and holidays; stand for extended periods of time; lift 50 pounds; push/pull heavy equipment and pass the mandatory criminal and social background checks." Then: "Preferred candidate will have completed criteria in the DLAR Career Development Program. Candidates working in the Rangos Research Building at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh will need to obtain Child Protection Clearances. Vaccinations and/or TB testing may be required." Then "Essential Functions" list: many bullet-like sentences but we can incorporate into Qualifications or Skills? They are more about physical abilities. Could be part of Qualifications. Then "Physical Effort": list. Then "Work Schedule Monday - Friday, 7:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.; some weekends and holidays" Then "Work Arrangement On-Campus: Teams that work on campus, in an office, or in a lab." Then "Hiring Range Commensurate with experience." (skip for Pay) Then "Relocation Offered No" Then "Visa Sponsorship Provided No" Then "Background Check For position finalists, employment with the University will require successful completion of a background check" Then "Child Protection Clearances The following PA Act 153 clearances and background checks are required prior to commencement of employment and as a condition of continued employment: PA State Police Criminal Record Check, FBI Criminal Record Check, PA Child Abuse History Clearance." Then "Required Documents Resume Optional Documents Not Applicable" We need to keep all substantive info. Let's decide sections: About the role: combine first two paragraphs. Responsibilities: list the bullet points from "The Candidate Will ..." plus maybe "Maintains records, oversees billing, and ensures compliance..." (though that could be part of responsibilities). Also "Promote animal welfare and well-being; Ensure that the daily operations and activities of the assigned animal facility are accomplished in accordance with DLAR guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures, University policies, federal regulations, and industry standards and guidelines." Requirements: Minimum Education Level Required Bachelor's Degree; Minimum Years Of Experience Required 2; Combination of education and relevant experience will be considered in lieu of education and/ or experience requirement.; Certification by AALAS at LAT level, external candidate must achieve within 12 months of start date.; Background check required; Child Protection Clearances (maybe also under Requirements). Also "Relocation Offered No", "Visa Sponsorship Provided No" maybe as notes. Qualifications: "A successful candidate must have two years of lab animal experience with one year in a supervisory capacity; consistently demonstrate professional verbal, written, and interpersonal skills; execute effective time and process management; possess positive customer service and team-building skills; be proficient with technology in order to use common applications (e.g. email, Microsoft Office, Zoom) and to learn CAMS (DLAR business application software); be available to work occasional weekends and holidays; stand for extended periods of time; lift 50 pounds; push/pull heavy equipment and pass the mandatory criminal and social background checks." Also "Preferred candidate will have completed criteria in the DLAR Career Development Program." Also "Candidates working in the Rangos Research Building at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh will need to obtain Child Protection Clearances." Also "Vaccinations and/or TB testing may be required." Skills: maybe list technical and soft skills: professional verbal, written, interpersonal skills; time and process management; customer service; team-building; proficiency with technology (email, Microsoft Office, Zoom, CAMS); ability to lift 50 pounds, push/pull heavy equipment; stand extended periods; etc. But some overlap with Qualifications. We could separate: Qualifications = experience/education/certifications; Skills = abilities. However risk of duplication. But we must preserve all info; duplication is okay as long as we don't invent. We can keep some in Qualifications and some in Skills. Schedule: Work Schedule Monday - Friday, 7:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.; some weekends and holidays. Work Arrangement On-Campus: Teams that work on campus, in an office, or in a lab. We should not include Pay/Benefits sections. Now craft HTML. We need to ensure
