We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the description includes "About the Job" etc. We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to preserve substantive info: description about job, location, workload, about CCU, what we offer, key job duties, work environment, spiritual requirements, etc.
We need to map content to sections.
Let's parse:
- About the role: could be description of job: "Colorado Christian University is looking for an outstanding full-time faculty member who will teach in-seat English courses in our residential undergraduate program starting Fall 2027. This faculty member will teach courses and develop curriculum within the Department of English, housed within the School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS) in the College of Undergraduate Studies (CUS). ..." Also includes mission etc. Could be "About the role".
- Responsibilities: list of duties: "Key Job Duties" bullet list. Also "Other duties the position requires are to support the mission and vision of CCU..." etc. Also "Work Environment" maybe not responsibilities but could be separate? We have no separate section for Work Environment unless we map to something else; but we only have allowed headings. Could include responsibilities covering duties and work environment.
- Requirements: maybe "Preferred requirements are a Ph.D. in English, or a related field, combined with experience and a passion for teaching engaging and transformative courses at the undergraduate level." Also "Each faculty member must be considered highly qualified as outlined by the university’s accreditation and academic standards." Also "Successful teaching experience in a college or university is preferred..." etc. Also "Spiritual Requirements" maybe part of Requirements or separate? There's no heading for Spiritual Requirements; we could include under Requirements or Qualifications.
- Qualifications: maybe "Ph.D. in English or related field preferred; master’s degree required." Also "Each faculty member must be considered highly qualified..." Might overlap.
- Skills: "Superior teaching, interpersonal, and written communication skills are required. Proficiency in appropriate Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and are able to use appropriate Learning Management software/technology (e.g. Brightspace) in the learning environment."
- Benefits: "What We Offer Our Employees ... competitive compensation and benefits packages ... tuition waiver program, excellent healthcare, generous paid time off, matching 403(b) retirement plan, and additional organizational paid benefits and voluntary benefit offerings."
- Pay: "Faculty pay will be assigned by rank at a range of $55,000 - $65,000 annually." Also details about pay determination.
- Schedule: "Workload 12-month renewable contract. Responsible to teach 24 credits per year (typically 4 undergraduate courses per semester)." Also maybe "Regular work location: Lakewood, Colorado" and "Fully on-site - must reside and work legally in the U.S." Could be schedule? Actually schedule could be workload and location. We'll include schedule section with workload and location.
We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience" etc. The posting includes "Engage in professional organization activities and scholarly work including, but not limited to, publications and presentations commensurate with experience and academic rank." That's a phrase with "commensurate with experience". That's placeholder? It's not exactly placeholder but includes that phrase. The instruction: 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. It says we should not include filler/placeholder text. Does that mean we should omit sentences that contain those phrases? Probably we should avoid including that exact phrase if it's considered filler. However it's part of a duty description. Might be okay to keep but maybe we should rephrase? The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". It says heading followed by filler/placeholder text, not that we must remove those phrases anywhere. It's about a heading with no real content. So we can keep the phrase.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. At end there is EEO statement: "Colorado Christian University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, ethnicity, ancestry, sex, age, physical or mental disability, military or veteran status. CCU is committed to an environment free from discrimination and harassment and calls on every member of the university community to be vigilant in deterring and reporting all violations. CCU does reserve the right to exercise preference on the basis of religion in all of its employment practices. All employ" (cut off). We should remove that.
Also remove "Application Deadline Applications will be accepted until position is filled." and "Spiritual Requirements" maybe we keep as part of Requirements or Qualifications.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.

We need to ensure we didn't include any heading with empty content. All sections have content. Check for any boilerplate left: we removed EEO, application deadline, spiritual requirements separate (we incorporated). Also removed "What is most appealing about working at CCU?" maybe we could incorporate into About the role or Benefits? Could add a paragraph about faith-friendly environment under About the role or Benefits. But we already have mission etc. Might be okay to omit as not required. However we should preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot omit substantive info. The "What is most appealing about working at CCU?" includes bullet points about faith friendly, convictionally Christian, live out your calling, equip students for kingdom work. That's substantive. We should include that somewhere, maybe under About the role or Benefits. Let's incorporate into About the role as additional paragraph. Also we have "About CCU" paragraph describing the university, history, motto, mission, vision, educational model, rankings, enrollment growth, degree programs, student numbers. That's substantive; we should include. We also have "Key Job Duties" list we already captured partially. Also "Other duties the position requires are to support the mission and vision of CCU..." we captured. We also have "Work Environment" details we captured partially in responsibilities (physical demands). Good. We also have "Spiritual Requirements" we captured in Requirements. We also have "Review of applications will continue until the position is filled." (application deadline) we can omit as it's not substantive? It's procedural but maybe considered boilerplate. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we can drop application deadline. We also have "CCU does not determine pay based on sex or any other protected status." we kept. We also have "CCU does reserve the right to exercise preference on the basis of religion in all of its employment practices." That's maybe legal/EEO? It's about religion preference; could be considered EEO? Might be considered legal. Might drop. But it's substantive about religious preference. However the instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. This is about religious preference, which is a kind of EEO statement. Safer to remove. We also have "All employ" truncated; drop. Now we need to ensure we didn't duplicate content. Let's craft final HTML. We'll include About the role with paragraphs: mission, description of role, what is appealing, about CCU. We'll keep it concise but preserve all substantive info. Let's draft:About the role
