Assistant/Associate/Full Professor of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (Cardiovascular Regenerative Biology) Tenure Track
or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph with Job ID and Posted Date maybe. We must not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add heading for title. We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text.
We need to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
Thus we need to decide which sections have content.
Potential sections:
- About the role: could contain description of position, department, institute, expectations. That's substantive.
- Responsibilities: could list duties: establish research program, teach, service, outreach, collaborative research, etc. That's substantive.
- Requirements/Qualifications: could list expected qualifications: outstanding candidates, expertise in cardiovascular regenerative biology, etc. Might be vague but we have some specifics: "seek outstanding candidates whose work will advance the next generation of therapies for heart failure and cardiac injury", "areas of interest include...". Could be considered qualifications.
- Skills: maybe list specific skills: heart regeneration, revascularization, fibrosis and remodeling, cardiac immunobiology, gene and RNA therapeutics, disease modeling and pathogenesis, drug discovery, etc. That's substantive.
- Benefits: posting does not mention benefits besides salary range. No explicit benefits like health, retirement. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not, so omit.
- Pay: posting states "The annual base salary range for this position is $160,000-$425,000." That's specific, so we can include Pay section.
- Schedule: not mentioned. Omit.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Pay. Possibly also a short metadata paragraph for Job ID/Posted Date.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So no heading for "All-Ranks Faculty Position: Cardiovascular Regenerative Biology". We'll just start with maybe a
containing metadata.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
First, a short paragraph for metadata: maybe
Job ID: REQ20177789 | Posted Date: 07/30/2026
. That's minor metadata.
Then About the role: About the role
then a paragraph describing the position: The Department of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine invites applications for two new faculty positions at all ranks (Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor) in cardiovascular regenerative biology. Seek outstanding candidates whose work will advance next generation therapies for heart failure and cardiac injury. Areas of interest include heart regeneration, revascularization, fibrosis and remodeling, cardiac immunobiology, gene and RNA therapeutics, disease modeling and pathogenesis, drug discovery. Particularly interested in investigators whose approaches complement ongoing efforts in cardiomyocyte-based therapies, including tissue microenvironment, immune interactions, vascularization, mechanisms of durable functional integration. Successful candidates will pursue innovative, collaborative, translational research programs bridging mechanistic and data-driven approaches across molecular, cellular, tissue, systems-level biology. Faculty will be core members of the newly established USC REPAIR Institute, a multidisciplinary, AI-enabled therapeutics development initiative spanning Schools of Medicine, Engineering, and Pharmacy. REPAIR integrates strengths in pluripotent stem cell biology, nanoparticle-based delivery, RNA therapeutics, microphysiological systems, computational modeling and AI, pharmacokinetics & pharmacodynamics, small and large animal physiology, experimental pathology, with goal of accelerating development of regenerative and biologically based therapies. Expected to establish and maintain vigorous externally funded research program and contribute to Department’s teaching, service, outreach missions. USC provides collaborative environment with opportunities for interaction with various centers and departments.
That's a lot but we need to preserve all substantive information; we can't omit details. However we can combine into a paragraph; it's okay.
Then Responsibilities: Responsibilities
then a with list items: Establish and maintain a vigorous, externally funded research program; Contribute to the Department’s teaching, service, and outreach missions; Pursue innovative, collaborative, and translational research programs that bridge mechanistic and data-driven approaches across molecular, cellular, tissue, and systems-level biology; Serve as core member of the USC REPAIR Institute; Engage with interdisciplinary collaborators across Schools of Medicine, Engineering, Pharmacy, and other USC centers (Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine, USC Center for Advanced Computing, Zilkha Neurogenetic Institute, USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, clinical departments, Department of Quantitative and Computational Biology). That seems to capture responsibilities.
We need to ensure we don't invent details; all are from posting.
Then Requirements/Qualifications: maybe combine as Requirements. The posting says "We seek outstanding candidates whose work will advance the next generation of therapies for heart failure and cardiac injury, broadly defined." Also "Areas of interest include...". Also "Successful candidates will pursue innovative...". That's more responsibilities. For qualifications, we might list: Expertise in cardiovascular regenerative biology; Experience in heart regeneration, revascularization, fibrosis and remodeling, cardiac immunobiology, gene and RNA therapeutics, disease modeling and pathogenesis, drug discovery; Experience with cardiomyocyte-based therapies, tissue microenvironment, immune interactions, vascularization, mechanisms of durable functional integration; Ability to establish externally funded research program; Commitment to teaching, service, outreach; Collaborative mindset; Experience with AI-enabled therapeutics development, pluripotent stem cell biology, nanoparticle-based delivery, RNA therapeutics, microphysiological systems, computational modeling, pharmacokinetics & pharmacodynamics, animal physiology, experimental pathology. That's a lot but we can capture as list.
But we need to avoid filler like "not specified". We have specifics.
Thus we can have Requirements
with list.
Then Skills: maybe list specific technical skills: heart regeneration, revascularization, fibrosis and remodeling, cardiac immunobiology, gene and RNA therapeutics, disease modeling and pathogenesis, drug discovery, cardiomyocyte-based therapies, tissue microenvironment, immune interactions, vascularization, durable functional integration, pluripotent stem cell biology, nanoparticle-based delivery, RNA therapeutics, microphysiological systems, computational modeling and AI, pharmacokinetics & pharmacodynamics, small and large animal physiology, experimental pathology. That's essentially same as requirements but we can separate.
But we might combine Requirements and Skills into one section to avoid thin sections. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine Requirements and Skills into a single section called "Requirements and Skills". However the instruction says use headings for specific section names: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It didn't say we must use exactly those headings if we have content; we can choose which to include. But we should not create a heading not in that list. So we could have Requirements and Skills as separate but maybe we can merge them into Requirements (including skills). That would be one section.
Thus we have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay.
We need to include Pay section: Pay
The annual base salary range for this position is $160,000‑$425,000.
We should not include Benefits or Schedule.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Already not.
We need to not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we placed them in a paragraph.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, diversity statement, application instructions (letter of interest, CV, statement, references, deadline). Those are application instructions; we should remove them per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we must remove the diversity statement and application instructions (letter of interest, CV, statement, references, deadline). Also remove "USC values diversity and is committed to equal opportunity in employment. Women and men, and members of all racial and ethnic groups are encouraged to apply." That's EEO boilerplate; remove.
Also remove "Applications should include a letter of interest; a curriculum vitae; a two- to three-page statement of past, present, and future research; and contact information for four references. All materials should be submitted by 11/30/2026 for priority consideration." That's application instructions; remove.
Also remove "Current employees apply here" etc.
Thus we keep only substantive content: description, responsibilities, requirements, pay, maybe metadata.
Now check if any content left that is not substantive: The posting also mentions "The University of Southern California (USC), founded in 1880, is the largest private employer in the City of Los Angeles. As an employee of USC, you will be a part of a world-class research university and a member of the "Trojan Family," which is comprised of the faculty, students and staff that make the university what it is." That's generic but still substantive about USC. Could be part of About the role.
We'll include that in About the role paragraph.
Now we need to ensure we don't include any placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now produce HTML.
