Ideal candidate should demonstrate capacity to significantly contribute to delivery and strength of these sequences. - Additionally, School of KNR offers graduate programs in Athletic Training, Biomechanics, Exercise Physiology, Physical Education Pedagogy, and Psychology of Physical Activity and Sport. We need to decide sections. We have content for About the role (description). Responsibilities (teaching, research, service). Requirements/Qualifications (maybe combine). Skills (maybe teaching areas). Benefits (comprehensive benefits package). Pay (salary commensurate with qualifications and experience - but that is vague; we should not create Pay section if it's just "commensurate with Qualifications And Experience" which is placeholder? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It says "Salary and rank are commensurate with Qualifications And Experience." That's not a specific number or range; it's vague. According to rule, we should not create Pay section if it's just placeholder like "commensurate with experience". So we should omit Pay section. Schedule: nine-month tenure track appointment with possibility of summer teaching. That's schedule info. It's specific: nine-month, possibility of summer teaching. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: "A comprehensive benefits package is included." That's specific enough? It's not detailed but it's a statement of benefits. The rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state a comprehensive benefits package is included. That's enough to include Benefits section, though we could elaborate with no details. We'll include Benefits with that sentence. We should not include sections like Requirements if we don't have explicit list of qualifications (like degree, experience). The posting does not list explicit qualifications like PhD, etc. It mentions "Assistant or Associate Professor" implies doctoral degree likely, but not explicit. We could still include Qualifications section with the info about rank (Assistant/Associate) and tenure-track, start date, etc. But the rule: include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. We have content about position type, start date, tenure-track, workload. That could go under About the role or Responsibilities. Better to have About the role covering general description, Responsibilities covering teaching/research/service, Qualifications maybe covering required rank and experience? But we don't have explicit qualifications like "PhD in Recreation or related field". Might be inferred but not stated. Safer to omit Qualifications section if not explicit. Skills: teaching areas list could be under Skills. That is specific: human resources, budgeting, marketing, facility and event management, inclusive recreation and sport, leadership, therapeutic recreation, sport management, programming. So we can have Skills section. Responsibilities: teaching responsibilities, research, service. We'll list those. About the role: overview of position, program, mission, start date, etc. Benefits: comprehensive benefits package. Schedule: nine-month tenure track with possibility of summer teaching. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for each section. We must use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities we can list teaching, research, service as bullet points. For Skills we list teaching areas as bullet points. For Benefits we could list but only one item; still could be
  • ... but maybe just

    . The rule: use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If it's a single item, still could be
      • . But we can also use

        for prose. Safer to use

        for benefits if not a list. But we can still do

        • for single item; it's still a list. I'll use
          • for benefits. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, navigation, etc. We'll ignore. Now construct HTML. Start with

            We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's embed details.

The program seeks a teacher-scholar dedicated to preparing future recreation and sport professionals through experiential learning, mentorship, scholarship, and inclusive teaching.

Also mention workload: approx 18 credit hours teaching, 4-5 credit hours research, 1-2 credit hours service. Could be placed in Responsibilities or About the role. Probably Responsibilities includes teaching, research, service workload. We'll include that in Responsibilities bullets. Responsibilities bullets: - Teaching: approximately 18 credit hours per year, primarily supporting the undergraduate RSM core curriculum and Recreation and Sport (RS) sequence, with opportunities to teach Therapeutic Recreation (TR), graduate sport management, and research‑related courses depending on expertise; teaching areas include human resources, budgeting, marketing, facility and event management, inclusive recreation and sport, leadership, therapeutic recreation, sport management, and programming. - Research: maintain a productive line of scholarship within recreation, sport, leisure, therapeutic recreation, or related areas, while engaging students in research and dissemination through publications, presentations, and funding opportunities; 4‑5 credit hours of research workload. - Service: participation in shared governance, curriculum development, student recruitment and retention efforts, professional organizations, and committee work that supports the program, university, and profession; 1‑2 credit hours of service workload.

Responsibilities bullets: teaching (general), research, service. Skills bullet list: human resources, budgeting, marketing, facility and event management, inclusive recreation and sport, leadership, therapeutic recreation, sport management, programming. Now About the role includes description of program, mission, start date, workload maybe not needed. Let's craft. Check for any other substantive info: The position is nine-month tenure track with possibility of summer teaching (schedule). The Locus of Annual Evaluation, Tenure, and promotion in rank will be in the School of Kinesiology and Recreation. That's extra detail about evaluation location. Could be included in About the role or Responsibilities? It's about evaluation. Could be added to About the role paragraph. Also mention that the School of KNR has built strong reputation etc. That's additional info about the school/program. Could be included in About the role as well. We must preserve all substantive info; we can't omit. So we need to include details about School reputation, location, accreditation, internships, employer recruitment, graduate programs, etc. Where to put? Could be in About the role as a paragraph describing the program and its strengths. Thus About the role will be longer, covering: - Position details (full-time tenure-track Assistant/Associate Professor, RSM program, School of Kinesiology and Recreation, Illinois State University, start Aug 16 2027). - Program mission: teacher-scholar dedicated to preparing future recreation and sport professionals via experiential learning, mentorship, scholarship, inclusive teaching; collaborative student-centered faculty. - Workload: approx 18 credit hours teaching, 4-5 credit hours research, 1-2 credit hours service. - Evaluation location: Locus of Annual Evaluation, Tenure, and promotion in rank will be in the School of Kinesiology and Recreation. - Program reputation: strong reputation for scholarly work in exercise science, physical education teacher education, recreation and sport management; RSM program part of School of Kinesiology and Recreation, located in College of Applied Science and Technology; housed in state-of-the-art Student Fitness Center and McCormick Hall building opened Jan 2011; COAPRT accreditation since 1985; nationally recognized for applied experiential learning; students complete two internships and gain practical experience across recreation, sport, parks, events, tourism, outdoor recreation, therapeutic recreation settings; employers throughout Illinois and region actively recruit RSM students and graduates due to reputation for producing career-ready professionals; program includes undergraduate sequences in Recreation and Sport and Therapeutic Recreation, plus online/on-campus master's programs in Sport Management; faculty collaborate on curriculum innovation, student success initiatives, interdisciplinary scholarship, mentoring; program values collegiality, innovation, shared commitment to student development; ideal candidate should demonstrate capacity to significantly contribute to delivery and strength of these sequences. - Additionally, School of KNR offers graduate programs in Athletic Training, Biomechanics, Exercise Physiology, Physical Education Pedagogy, and Psychology of Physical Activity and Sport.
