We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. 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") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Location: Main Campus - Boston, MA (maybe minor metadata) - About Simmons: description of university, mission, etc. - This is a full-time, 10-month, contract faculty position within the well-established School of Nursing & Physical Therapy's (SON) pre-licensure programs. - Teaching Responsibilities: teaching primary responsibility, annual seven-course teaching load, list of potential courses: Maternal Newborn Nursing, Pediatric Nursing, Fundamentals of Nursing, Medical-Surgical Nursing 1, Purpose, Leadership and Action (PLAN) course(s), as applicable. - The Faculty's Responsibilities Also Include: Demonstrating commitment to continuous improvement in teaching skills, pedagogy, and attention to inclusion and belonging in the classroom.

In accordance with applicable pay transparency laws effective October 29, 2025, Simmons University is committed to pay equity, transparency and clear communication throughout the hiring process. This is a benefits-eligible position. Actual compensation will be based on factors such as experience, education, skills, equity, and external market benchmarks that help guide compensation decisions. Our compensation philosophy is centered around a comprehensive package that includes pay, health benefits, and retirement savings offerings that can be seen here, as well as work-life balance initiatives such as flexible hours and remote work opportunities. We are committed to offering a package that empowers individuals to thrive in their roles, contribute meaningfully, and lead with confidence. - Application instructions etc to be removed. - Additional repeated EEO statements to be removed. - Additional description about Simmons again (duplicate) to be removed. We need to decide sections. We have: - About Simmons (maybe "About the role"? Actually "About Simmons" is description of university. Could be "About the role" or "About Simmons". The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "About the role" heading for the Simmons description? Or we could use "About Simmons". But they gave examples; we can choose any appropriate heading. Probably "About the role" is appropriate for description of the position and institution. We'll include that. - Responsibilities: we have Teaching Responsibilities, Faculty's Responsibilities Also Include, Service Responsibilities, Professional Engagement Responsibilities. Could combine into one Responsibilities section with sublists? But we need to use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. We could have multiple
        under the heading. - Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The posting has "Qualifications/Skills". Could treat as "Qualifications" heading with list. Could also separate "Requirements" and "Skills". But we should prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe one "Qualifications" section that includes all qualification items. - Pay: we have Salary Range and benefits info. So we can have a Pay section with salary range and mention benefits-eligible, etc. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Pay is stated (salary range). Benefits: they say "This is a benefits-eligible position." and mention health benefits, retirement savings, flexible hours, remote work. So we could have a Benefits section. However they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Pay and Benefits into one "Compensation and Benefits" but they only gave examples of separate headings. But we can decide to have Pay and Benefits separate if there is substantive content. However we need to avoid filler. There is substantive content for both. - Schedule: they mention "full-time, 10-month, contract faculty position". That's schedule info (10-month). So we could have Schedule section. Thus we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits, Schedule. But we need to avoid duplication and boilerplate. Let's extract substantive content for each. About the role: include Simmons description, mission, location, that it's a full-time 10-month contract faculty position within SON pre-licensure programs. Also mention reporting to Pre-Licensure Nursing Program Administrator? That could be in Responsibilities or Terms of Service. Might fit in About the role. Responsibilities: combine teaching responsibilities, faculty responsibilities, service responsibilities, professional engagement responsibilities. Could be bullet list. Qualifications: list all qualification/skill items. Pay: salary range, mention that actual compensation based on factors, pay equity, etc. Benefits: benefits-eligible position, health benefits, retirement savings, flexible hours, remote work opportunities. Schedule: full-time, 10-month contract non-tenure role. We need to ensure we don't include application instructions, EEO boilerplate, duplicated lines. Let's craft. First, About the role: Paragraph: Simmons University, located in Boston's historic Fenway area, has a strong tradition of empowering women and challenging traditional gender roles. Founded for equality 125 years ago as one of the first higher education institutions dedicated to helping women become leaders, Simmons continues to grow and evolve, offering Boston's only women's undergraduate program and graduate programs open to all. The university recently launched a six-school academic structure leveraging expert faculty and longstanding expertise in professions that strengthen communities, and highlights its high-value education proposition delivering greater ROI to students and putting them on the fast track to career growth and success. Simmons prepares students to become social justice‑oriented leaders who excel in their professions and communities. This is a full‑time, 10‑month, contract faculty position within the well‑established School of Nursing & Physical Therapy's (SON) pre‑licensure programs, reporting to the Pre‑Licensure Nursing Program Administrator. That seems good. Responsibilities: We'll create a
          with items. Items: - Teaching is a primary responsibility; annual seven‑course teaching load is standard for contract faculty. - Teach courses in the pre‑licensure nursing program, including but not limited to: Maternal Newborn Nursing, Pediatric Nursing, Fundamentals of Nursing, Medical‑Surgical Nursing 1, Purpose, Leadership and Action (PLAN) course(s) as applicable. - Demonstrate commitment to continuous improvement in teaching skills, pedagogy, and attention to inclusion and belonging in the classroom. - Provide support through office hours and other means to ensure every student is involved in a positive educational experience through learning, teaching, and intellectual engagement. - Elicit, support, and implement curricula to ensure course and program objectives are achieved. - Evaluate student achievement of expected student learning outcomes. - Advise students at the pre‑licensure level. - Participate as a team member in curriculum development and maintenance. - Participate in program, department, college, and university meetings, committees, and activities. - Participate in faculty governance and program evaluation. - Hold membership on SON and University committees. - Mentor junior faculty in academic and practice‑related matters. - Maintain currency in the discipline and licensure required to carry out duties, including participating in professional development to remain relevant. - Maintain certifications and licensure, if applicable, to remain current in the field. - Maintain involvement in the broader academic and professional community in accordance with disciplinary/professional standards. That covers all. Qualifications: list items. - Master's degree in nursing required. - Doctoral degree in nursing preferred. - At least 5 years of relevant nursing experience required for the Assistant Professor rank; at least 10 years for Associate Professor rank. - Demonstrated commitment to clinical and academic excellence. - Previous teaching at the college level is preferable. - Must hold and maintain a current and unrestricted Registered Nurse License in Massachusetts (condition of employment). - Demonstrated ability to work with students across a broad range of social and personal identities and perspectives. - Creative problem solver. - Strong and effective communicator. Pay: Salary range $77,505 to $98,068. Also mention that actual compensation based on factors such as experience, education, skills, equity, and external market benchmarks; commitment to pay equity, transparency; benefits-eligible position; compensation philosophy includes pay, health benefits, retirement savings, flexible hours, remote work opportunities. We could split Pay and Benefits. But we could combine into one Compensation section. However they gave examples of Pay and Benefits separate. Let's decide to have Pay section with salary range and mention that actual compensation based on factors, pay equity, etc. Benefits section with benefits-eligible, health benefits, retirement savings, flexible hours, remote work. Schedule: full-time, 10-month contract non-tenure role. Now ensure we don't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include Job ID/R12248 as heading; we can drop it or fold into short p. We could include location in About the role paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include application instructions, EEO boilerplate, duplicated lines. Check for any duplicated lines: The posting had repeated EEO statements and description of Simmons again at end. We'll ignore those. Now produce HTML fragment: only the HTML, no markdown fences. We'll have something like:
