Assistant/Associate/Full Professor of Mechanical Engineering

EducationFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Introducing Houston Christian University" description, then Position Summary, Job Responsibilities, Qualifications, The College of Science and Engineering at HCU (maybe About the role?), Additional Information (maybe Benefits? but not actual benefits). No explicit Pay, Schedule, Benefits. So we should include sections only if there is real content. We need headings:

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use appropriate headings based on content. We have: - About the role: could be Position Summary and maybe intro about university? The "Introducing Houston Christian University" is more about the institution, not role. But we could treat as About the role? The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can create sections: About the role (maybe includes Position Summary and university description?), Responsibilities (Job Responsibilities), Qualifications (Qualifications), maybe Skills? Not separate. Could combine Qualifications and Skills? But we have Qualifications list. Could also have Requirements? Not separate. The posting includes "Qualifications" list. Could also have "Requirements" but not present. We'll follow content. We also have "The College of Science and Engineering at HCU" which is more about the college; could be part of About the role or separate section like "About the College". But headings limited to given examples; we could use "About the role" to encompass that. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes disclaimer about background checks, etc. That's boilerplate; we should remove it. Also "As one of the most diverse universities..." etc is maybe part of Additional Information but could be considered boilerplate? It's about diversity commitment; might be considered EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. Likely remove. Also "Your submittal of an application..." etc is application instruction; remove. Also "Disclaimer** Background checks..." remove. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we keep Position Summary, Job Responsibilities, Qualifications, The College of Science and Engineering at HCU description (vision). Also maybe "Additional Information" about HCU being independent, private Christian liberal arts university, accreditation, commitment to Christian faith, Ten Pillars, etc. That is substantive about the university; we could include in About the role or maybe a separate section "About the university". But headings limited; we could put under About the role. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Not present. Thus output:

About the role

Introducing Houston Christian University... (the intro paragraph) ... Position Summary: This is a full-time, faculty position at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor, beginning in the Fall of 2027 or later. The position offers a unique opportunity to provide leadership in building a new, innovative mechanical engineering program and the prominence of the College of Science and Engineering and of the University.

But we need to preserve all substantive info; we should not lose details. Let's extract the relevant paragraphs. Original text: "Introducing Houston Christian University At Houston Christian University, our Christian liberal arts, professional, and graduate programs have equipped students to lead, collaborate, and discover out of a deep sense of purpose for more than 60 years. We are driven forward by our central confession, “Jesus Christ is Lord,” and defined by our “Ten Pillars” core convictions. From this foundation we guide students confidently into discerning discovery, preparing them to think biblically, critically, and holistically about how to engage the world. We aspire to care for every student by meeting their academic, spiritual, and social needs with mentorship and support. At HCU, we are cultivating a culture of excellence that will mold a new generation of leaders in their communities, standard-setters in their professions, and fruitful disciples in their churches. HCU is set in the heart of one of the most diverse and fastest-growing cities in the nation—and our growth and diversity match the dynamism of the city we call home. We continue to enroll strong freshmen classes, our graduate programs have more than doubled in the past decade, and we are significantly expanding our online programs as well." Then "Position Summary This is a full-time, faculty position at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor, beginning in the Fall of 2027 or later. The position offers a unique opportunity to provide leadership in building a new, innovative mechanical engineering program and the prominence of the College of Science and Engineering and of the University." Then "Job Responsibilities Develop and implement project-based fundamental and advanced courses.Design and teach courses and labs in mechanical engineering.Engage in student advising, student organization mentoring, assessment and accreditation activities, and committee responsibilities.Participate in professional development of students and maintain professional relationships with students, colleagues, and the community." Note there are missing spaces after periods; we need to format nicely. Then "Qualifications Candidates should have completed a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, or a related field from an accredited institution of higher education.Excellent verbal and written communication skills.Experience developing and teaching project-based curricula.Knowledge of the current practices and research pertaining to innovative undergraduate curricula.Commitment to quality teaching in a Christian university." Then "The College of Science and Engineering at HCU The Vision Of The College Of Science And Engineering (COSE) At HCU Is To Be a World Leader In Integrating Fundamental Principles Of Science, Engineering, And Mathematics (STEM) With Historic Christian Values And Standards To Serve God And Humanity. In Addition To Current B.S. Programs In Cyber Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, And Information Systems, HCU Will Expand Its Offerings To Include Mechanical Engineering And Artificial Intelligence. These Programs Have Already Or Will Soon Earn ABET Accreditation. For Additional Information https://hc.edu/science-and-engineering/ The successful candidate will be able to articulate a vision for the role of his or her discipline at HCU that supports the university’s core convictions." Then "Additional Information Houston Christian University is an independent, private Christian liberal arts university dedicated to the development of moral character, the enrichment of spiritual lives, and perpetuation of growth in Christian ideals. HCU is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). Houston Christian University is committed to maintaining a teaching faculty and staff who share an active Christian faith. The Preamble to the By-Laws of the University, “Scripture and a Christian Worldview,” and the “Ten Pillars Core Convictions of HCU” set forth a statement of belief which each University employee is expected to support and personify as an essential function of their employment at the University. Your submittal of an application for employment indicates your acceptance and affirmation of these statements. As one of the most diverse universities in the nation, Houston Christian University also strives to build a faculty and staff team that provides role models who embody biblical orthodoxy and ethics for all our students, whatever their background or life experience. As with all open positions at the University, a contract or employment offer will only be extended when the budget for the position has been confirmed." We need to remove application instructions and boilerplate: The lines about "Your submittal of an application..." and "As one of the most diverse universities..." and "As with all open positions..." maybe considered EEO/boilerplate. Also the disclaimer about background checks etc we already removed. Thus we keep the substantive parts: the university intro, position summary, job responsibilities, qualifications, college vision, additional information about HCU being independent, private Christian liberal arts university, accreditation, commitment to Christian faith, Ten Pillars, etc. However the "Your submittal..." line is application instruction; remove. The diversity statement maybe borderline but could be considered EEO; but it's also part of the university's mission; but the instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should remove the sentence about striving to build a faculty and staff team that provides role models... Also remove "As with all open positions at the University, a contract or employment offer will only be extended when the budget for the position has been confirmed." That's maybe not boilerplate but could be considered generic; but it's substantive about hiring process; maybe keep? It's not EEO; it's about budget confirmation. Might keep. But we need to be careful: The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The diversity statement could be considered EEO; but it's also part of the university's mission statement about diversity. Might be safer to remove it. The budget confirmation line is not EEO; it's about hiring process; keep. Thus Additional Information after cleaning: "Houston Christian University is an independent, private Christian liberal arts university dedicated to the development of moral character, the enrichment of spiritual lives, and perpetuation of growth in Christian ideals. HCU is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). Houston Christian University is committed to maintaining a teaching faculty and staff who share an active Christian faith. The Preamble to the By-Laws of the University, “Scripture and a Christian Worldview,” and the “Ten Pillars Core Convictions of HCU” set forth a statement of belief which each University employee is expected to support and personify as an essential function of their employment at the University. As with all open positions at the University, a contract or employment offer will only be extended when the budget for the position has been confirmed." We removed the application instruction line and diversity statement. Now we need to format with

for prose and

  • for lists. Job Responsibilities: list items: "Develop and implement project-based fundamental and advanced courses.", "Design and teach courses and labs in mechanical engineering.", "Engage in student advising, student organization mentoring, assessment and accreditation activities, and committee responsibilities.", "Participate in professional development of students and maintain professional relationships with students, colleagues, and the community." Qualifications: list items: "Candidates should have completed a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, or a related field from an accredited institution of higher education.", "Excellent verbal and written communication skills.", "Experience developing and teaching project-based curricula.", "Knowledge of the current practices and research pertaining to innovative undergraduate curricula.", "Commitment to quality teaching in a Christian university." We could also treat "Candidates should have completed a Ph.D..." as a qualification; it's fine. Now About the role: combine university intro and position summary. Could be two paragraphs. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. No job title present. Now output HTML fragment. Let's craft:
