- Additional:
- Selected candidate will be required to complete a background check satisfactory to the University.
- Belmont University participates in E-Verify. Federal law requires all employers to verify identity and employment eligibility.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The text includes "The selected candidate will be required to complete a background check satisfactory to the University. Belmont University participates in E-Verify. Federal law requires all employers to verify the identity and employment eligibility of all persons hired to work in the United States." This is legal boilerplate; we should remove it per instruction: remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we drop that.
Also remove duplicated lines: maybe "The above statements describe the job’s essential responsibilities and requirements. They are not an exhaustive list of the duties that may be assigned to job incumbents." That's generic; we can keep? It's not specific; but it's a statement about responsibilities. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's a generic disclaimer. The instruction: remove duplicated lines, and application instructions. This line is not application instruction; it's a disclaimer about responsibilities. Might keep? It's not adding new info; it's just saying not exhaustive. Could be considered filler. Safer to keep? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That line is substantive? It's a meta statement about the list not being exhaustive. It's not adding new duty but it's clarifying. Might be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed to remove. I'd keep it maybe as part of responsibilities section? But we are using bullet list; we could add a note after list as a
. However, the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be okay to include as a paragraph after the list.
But we need to avoid filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". The line about salary being commensurate is placeholder; we should not create Pay section. But we can still mention it in the About the role or Responsibilities? It's about appointment and evaluation. Could include in a paragraph under "About the role" maybe. However, the instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we should not create a Pay section because the content is just "commensurate with qualifications and experience." That's placeholder. So we omit Pay section entirely. We can still mention that it's a tenure-track 12-month appointment; that's substantive.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
Let's structure:
About the role
... paragraphs about department, mission, appointment type.
Responsibilities
- ... each bullet.
The above statements describe the job’s essential responsibilities and requirements. They are not an exhaustive list of the duties that may be assigned to job incumbents.
Qualifications
- ... required education, required experience, preferred experience maybe separate lists? Could combine but we need to preserve all detail. Could have subheadings? Not allowed; only headings are those listed. So we can just list all qualifications as
- items. Might be long but okay.
We need to include Required Education, Required Experience, Preferred Experience as separate bullet points.
Skills
- ... list of skills from Required Qualifications (knowledge of principles, methods, etc.)
We must avoid duplication: some items appear both in qualifications and skills; but we need to preserve all substantive information; duplication may be okay if it's in original. However, we should not invent; we can keep as is.
Let's extract skills list from Required Qualifications:
- Knowledge of principles, methods and current developments in the field of study.
- Knowledge of subject matter and course content taught.
- Knowledge of instructional strategies and techniques.
- Demonstrated capacity to engage in high quality scholarly activity.
- Demonstrated ability to advise, instruct, manage, motivate and evaluate students.
- Skilled in the use of computers, Internet resources, and MS Office software.
- Ability to learn relevant sections of BannerWeb, Belmont University’s online integrated database system for student grading.

- Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively verbally and in writing.
- Knowledge of the programs and services offered by Belmont University.
- Interest and ability to work collaboratively in course design and to teach interdisciplinary and topical courses.
- Ability to work effectively with a wide range of constituencies.
We'll put those as skills.
Now qualifications list: Required Education, Required Experience, Preferred Experience.
