We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, EEO, application instructions, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- About UofSC (description of university) -> could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic; but we have "About UofSC" and "About The Department And The School Of Public Health". Could combine into "About the role" maybe but we need headings exactly as allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can only use those headings. So we need to map content to those headings.
We have:
- Job Responsibilities: The posting includes "Job Responsibilities Assistant/Associate Professor (2 Vacancies)" but then later "Successful candidates will be expected to develop or sustain an independent extramurally funded research program; teach undergraduate and/or graduate courses in the department; advise and mentor students and postdoctoral fellows; and provide service to the university, profession, and community." That's responsibilities.
- Requirements: "Required Education And Experience" includes doctoral degree in certain fields, plus specifics for Assistant vs Associate.
- Qualifications: Could include "Preferred Qualifications" but not listed? There's a heading "Knowledge/Skills/Abilities Preferred Qualifications Job Close Date Special Instructions to Applicant". Not much detail. There's no explicit preferred qualifications listed besides maybe knowledge/skills/abilities. The posting includes "Knowledge/Skills/Abilities Preferred Qualifications" but no list. So we may skip Qualifications if no specific content.
- Skills: Could be derived from areas of interest: e.g., expertise in public insurance, substance use disorder, rural health, aging, health care delivery system science, applied data science, etc. Those could be considered skills/knowledge.
- Benefits: Not mentioned besides "substantial start-up package", "salary commensurate with experience", "state funds", "generous salary release and indirect return policies". Could treat start-up package as benefit. Also "generous salary release and indirect return policies" maybe benefit. But we need to avoid vague like "commensurate with experience". Pay section only if actual salary stated; it's not, so we should not include Pay.
- Schedule: Not mentioned (9-month faculty positions). That's schedule: 9-month appointments. Could include Schedule section with "9-month faculty positions". That's specific.
- About the role: Could include description of university and department.
We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". So we should not create Pay section.
We must not include Benefits unless real specific content: "substantial start-up package" and "generous salary release and indirect return policies" are specific enough? Might be considered benefit. Also "state funds". Could include Benefits.
We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like:
- Department: ASPH Health Services Policy and Management
- Full Time
- 9-month faculty positions
- Tenure-track Assistant/Associate level
- Up to two vacancies
- State funded
- Substantial start-up package
- Vision statement etc.
- Areas of interest list.
- Responsibilities: develop/sustain extramurally funded research program; teach; advise/mentor; service.
- Required Education: doctoral degree in listed fields by start date.
- For Assistant: clear research agenda with high potential for extramural funding, peer-reviewed publication, excellence in teaching and mentorship.
- For Associate: established record of extramural funding, peer-reviewed publication, excellence in teaching, mentoring, service commensurate with rank.
- Knowledge/Skills/Abilities: maybe not listed; but we have areas of interest which could be considered skills.
- Benefits: substantial start-up package, generous salary release and indirect return policies (from Arnold School description).
- Schedule: 9-month faculty positions.
We also have info about university, department, school, location, etc. That could go under About the role.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, job close date, special instructions, etc. So we need to strip those.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences.
We'll produce sections:

We must ensure we don't create empty sections. Let's craft content precisely, preserving details. About the role: combine info about UofSC, department, school, location, vision, etc. We need to avoid repeating job title. So we can start with description. Let's draft:The University of South Carolina system comprises eight institutions and twenty locations statewide, serving over 50,000 students. The Arnold School of Public Health at USC, the state’s public flagship university, hosts the Department of Health Services Policy and Management (HSPM). HSPM includes 17 full‑time faculty and leads four major centers: the Rural Health Research Center, the Big Data Health Sciences Center, the South Carolina Center for Effectiveness Research in Orthopedics, and the Patient Engagement Studio. The department is situated in the state capital near government agencies, nonprofit and health‑care organizations, facilitating collaborative, community‑engaged research. HSPM faculty teach in the undergraduate public health major and in three accredited graduate programs (MHA, MPH, PhD). The Arnold School reported over $54 million in extramural research funding last year and ranks 6th nationally for NIH funding among public schools of public health. Columbia offers a reasonable cost of living, extensive greenways, cultural amenities, and easy access to beaches, mountains, and nearby cities such as Charlotte, Atlanta, and Charleston.
That seems good. Responsibilities: list items.- Develop or sustain an independent extramurally funded research program.
- Teach undergraduate and/or graduate courses in the department.
- Advise and mentor students and postdoctoral fellows.
- Provide service to the university, profession, and community.
- Doctoral degree in health policy, health services research, health care management, health economics, public policy, public administration, economics, sociology, political science, law, medicine, data science, implementation science, or a closely related field, to be held by the employment start date.
- Assistant Professor candidates: clear research agenda with high potential for extramural funding, peer‑reviewed publication, and excellence in teaching and student mentorship.
- Associate Professor candidates: established record of extramural funding, peer‑reviewed publication, and excellence in teaching, mentoring, and service commensurate with rank and university policy.
- Public insurance and market design (Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, ACA marketplaces).
- Substance use disorder and behavioral health policy.
- Rural health, safety‑net systems, and access to care.
- Aging, disability, and long‑term care policy.
- Health care delivery system science (provider organizations, workforce, primary care, value‑based care, implementation science).
- Applied data science, comparative effectiveness research, causal inference, machine learning or artificial intelligence methods, and real‑world evidence applied to health policy, delivery, population health, or health equity questions.
- Substantial start‑up package.
- Generous salary release and indirect return policies for extramurally funded research.
9‑month faculty positions.
We should not include Pay section. Check for any other substantive info: "These 9-month faculty positions are fully supported by state funds". Could add to Benefits or Schedule? Might add to Benefits: "Fully supported by state funds." Could add as benefit. Also "The anticipated start date for these positions is August 2027." That's a date; could be included in About the role or Schedule? It's not schedule but start date. Could add to About the role. Also "Positions are advertised for a minimum of forty‑five (45) days..." that's boilerplate; remove. Also "Review of applications will begin October 12, 2026..." that's application instruction; remove. Also "This position is open until filled." remove. Also "EEO Statement" remove. Also "Job Close Date Special Instructions to Applicant" remove. Also "Interested candidates should submit..." remove. Also "To apply, please visit:" remove. Also "This employment site is updated on a regular basis." remove. Also "The length of the recruitment and screening process may vary..." remove. Also "Should review of your qualifications result in a decision to pursue your candidacy, you will be contacted by phone or email." remove. Also "je-d89617498b0e4cdba6f7f273b2793e40" remove. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info like "tenure-track faculty positions". Include in About the role or Responsibilities? Could add to About the role: "tenure‑track Assistant/Associate Professor positions". Add to About the role paragraph. Also "These positions are intended to strengthen HSPM's growing research portfolio by adding depth in established areas of strength and expanding into adjacent areas where the department is well positioned to compete." Could add to About the role. Also "We seek individuals who share our vision of a world in which health care is accessible, affordable, effective, and equitable for all; who are passionate about conducting rigorous research that informs policy and practice; and who take seriously the responsibility of training the next generation of health care administrators, public health practitioners, policy analysts, and health services researchers." Could add to About the role. We need to preserve all substantive info; we must not omit details. So we need to incorporate those statements. Let's rewrite About the role to include all that. We'll create a paragraph that includes: - Tenure-track Assistant/Associate Professor positions (up to two vacancies) in Department of Health Services Policy and Management, Arnold School of Public Health, University of South Carolina. - Fully supported by state funds, include substantial start-up package. - Vision: accessible, affordable, effective, equitable health care; rigorous research informing policy/practice; training next generation. - Aim to strengthen HSPM's research portfolio, adding depth in established areas and expanding into adjacent areas where department well positioned to compete. - Description of university system, student enrollment, etc. - Description of department, faculty, centers, location advantages. - Teaching responsibilities (undergrad major, grad programs). - Research funding stats, NIH ranking. - Columbia city amenities and location. We must be careful not to duplicate content elsewhere. Let's craft About the role paragraph with all that. Potential length is okay. Now Responsibilities: we already have list; ensure we include "develop or sustain an independent extramurally funded research program; teach undergraduate and/or graduate courses; advise and mentor students and postdoctoral fellows; provide service to the university, profession, and
