We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes salary ranges: "Anticipated hiring ranges: Assistant Professor: $90,948 - $105,156 Associate Professor: $105,492 - $114,720". So we have Pay info. Benefits? Not explicitly listed. There's mention of "For health and well-being, Cal Poly is a smoke & tobacco-free campus." Not benefits. No explicit benefits like health insurance, retirement. So we should not create Benefits section. Schedule? Not mentioned. So we omit Schedule.
We need sections: About the role (maybe description), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay. Possibly also "About The Department" could be part of About the role? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience" as content? Actually we can include that as it's substantive? The rule: "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". So we cannot have a section that only contains filler like "commensurate with experience". But we can have that phrase within substantive content? The rule says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So if we have a section heading and the only content is filler, that's not allowed. But if we have other content besides filler, it's okay? Probably okay to include the phrase as part of substantive content.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to extract responsibilities: teaching undergraduate and graduate level courses in animal and dairy science; supervision of undergraduate senior projects; graduate student mentoring; academic advising; possibly also teaching assignments depend on background; also advance equine industry through teaching and applied research; maybe also securing external funding; etc.
Requirements: Ph.D. in Animal Science or closely related field, or board-certified DVM; ABD considered but must have doctorate prior to start; expertise in one or more of listed areas; excellence in teaching, effective communication, interpersonal skills; ability to be productive team player; demonstrated experience and commitment to student-centered learning; ability to work in multidisciplinary settings; excellent written and oral communication; strong interest in undergraduate teaching; proficiency in English; ability to communicate with industry supporters to secure external funding.
Preferred Qualifications: applied and innovative research backgrounds addressing challenges within equine industry; experience and interest in equine facilities and breeding operations; industry experience; university level teaching experience; record of successful academic research; demonstrated ability to generate external funding; preference for board-certified DVM candidates that have completed a PhD and/or have additional post-doctorate training.
Skills: maybe we can combine some of the above into Skills section: teaching, communication, interpersonal, teamwork, student-centered learning, multidisciplinary collaboration, written/oral communication, English proficiency, ability to secure external funding, research, etc.
But we must not duplicate content. We need to decide how to split.
We have "About the role": could include description of position, department, program, equine production and management intent, etc.
"Responsibilities": teaching, supervision, mentoring, advising, research, securing funding, etc.
"Requirements": mandatory qualifications (Ph.D. or DVM, ABD condition, expertise areas, teaching excellence, communication, teamwork, student-centered learning, multidisciplinary work, English proficiency, ability to secure funding).
"Qualifications": maybe preferred qualifications? But the instruction lists Qualifications as a heading separate from Requirements. Could treat Requirements as mandatory, Qualifications as preferred. Or we could combine. But we need to follow typical pattern: Requirements = mandatory, Qualifications = preferred. We'll do that.
"Skills": maybe list specific skills like teaching, communication, interpersonal, teamwork, student-centered learning, multidisciplinary collaboration, written/oral communication, English proficiency, grant writing, research, etc.
"Pay": include salary ranges.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
First, About the role: include description: The Animal Science Department at Cal Poly seeks full-time academic year tenure-track Assistant/Associate Professor of Equine Production and Management, start approx Aug 12, 2027. Department offers degree programs in Animal and Dairy Science, hands-on learn-by-doing, etc. Position intended to advance equine industry through teaching and applied research in equine production and management.
Responsibilities: bullet list: teach undergraduate and graduate level courses in animal and dairy science; supervise undergraduate senior projects; mentor graduate students; provide academic advising; conduct applied research in equine production and management; collaborate with industry to secure external funding; contribute to department’s service and outreach; participate in curriculum development; etc. We need to ensure we only include what's in posting. The posting says: "The successful candidate will be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate level courses in animal and dairy science. Teaching assignments will depend on the candidate’s background and the department’s needs. Duties may also include, but are not limited to, supervision of undergraduate senior projects, graduate student mentoring, and academic advising." Also earlier: "The equine production and management position is intended to advance the equine industry through teaching and applied research in equine production and management." So responsibilities include teaching, supervision, mentoring, advising, applied research. Also "Candidates must also demonstrate the ability to communicate with industry supporters to secure external funding." That's more a requirement but could be responsibility. We'll include securing external funding as part of responsibilities.
Requirements: mandatory: Ph.D. in Animal Science or closely related field, or board-certified DVM; ABD considered but must have doctorate prior to start; expertise in one or more of: exercise physiology, reproductive physiology, genetics, forage utilization, equine nutrition, behavior, immunology, and genetics (note genetics listed twice but okay); demonstrated excellence in teaching, effective communication, interpersonal skills; ability to be productive team player and interact well with peers, students, industry, government agencies, public; demonstrated experience and commitment to student-centered learning and teaching; demonstrated ability to collaboratively work in multidisciplinary settings; excellent written and oral communication skills; strong interests in undergraduate teaching; demonstrated proficiency in written and oral use of English; ability to communicate with industry supporters to secure external funding.

Pay: include salary ranges as given.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with qualifications and experience" as a standalone line; but we can include it within Pay? Actually Pay section should have the salary ranges; we can also note that rank and salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. That's not filler; it's substantive. So we can include that sentence.

Make sure no extra whitespace? It's fine. Now write content. About the role paragraph: combine info. "The Animal Science Department in the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, is seeking a full‑time, academic year, tenure‑track Assistant/Associate Professor of Equine Production and Management, with an anticipated start date of approximately August 12, 2027. The department offers degree programs in Animal and Dairy Science, emphasizing hands‑on, learn‑by‑doing instruction across a variety of species. The position is intended to advance the equine industry through teaching and applied research in equine production and management." That seems good. Responsibilities list: - Teach undergraduate and graduate level courses in animal and dairy science, with teaching assignments based on candidate background and department needs. - Supervise undergraduate senior projects. - Mentor graduate students. - Provide academic advising. - Conduct applied research in equine production and management to advance the equine industry. - Communicate with industry supporters to secure external funding. - Contribute to departmental service, outreach, and curriculum development as needed. Check if any of these are not in posting: "contribute to departmental service, outreach, and curriculum development" is not explicitly stated but could be implied; better to avoid adding not in posting. Let's stick to what's posted: teaching, supervision, mentoring, advising, applied research, securing external funding. The posting also mentions "advance the equine industry through teaching and applied research". So we can include that as a responsibility. Thus responsibilities: - Teach undergraduate and graduate level courses in animal and dairy science (assignments depend on background and department needs). - Supervise undergraduate senior projects. - Mentor graduate students. - Provide academic advising. - Conduct applied research in equine production and management to advance the equine industry. - Communicate with industry supporters to secure external funding. That's all from posting. Requirements list: - Ph.D. in Animal Science or a closely related field, or a board‑certified DVM. - Candidates nearing completion of the doctorate (ABD) may be considered but must provide proof that the doctorate was awarded prior to the start of the appointment. - Demonstrated expertise in one or more of the following: exercise physiology, reproductive physiology, genetics, forage utilization, equine nutrition, behavior, immunology, and genetics. - Demonstrated excellence in teaching, effective communication, and interpersonal skills. - Ability to be a productive team player and to interact well with peers, students, industry, government agencies, and the public. - Demonstrated experience and commitment to student‑centered learning and teaching. - Demonstrated ability to collaboratively work in multidisciplinary settings. - Excellent written and oral communication skills. - Strong interest in undergraduate teaching. - Demonstrated proficiency in written and oral use of the English language. - Ability to communicate with industry supporters to secure external funding. Note: "ability to communicate with industry supporters to secure external funding" appears both in requirements and responsibilities; we can keep in both or deduplicate? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplicated lines: we should remove duplicated lines. So if same sentence appears in both sections, we should deduplicate? It says "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove duplicated lines. The phrase appears in both Requirements and maybe also in Skills? Actually it's in Requirements and also maybe in Preferred Qualifications? It
