Assistant/Associate Professor, School of Dental Medicine (Full-Time)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Must not repeat job title. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have real content. From posting: - Description: includes overview of role, responsibilities, etc. Could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". We need to parse. We have location, open date, deadline - these are metadata; we can fold into short

or drop. Probably include a short

with location and dates. We have description paragraphs: talk about position, duties: contribute to biomaterials curriculum, secure funding, demonstrate scholarship, supervise projects, participate in governance, collaborate with clinicians, create/test commercial products, develop next-gen biomaterials, oversee lab, accessible to all departments, etc. Also mention school supports residency programs, research areas. We have qualifications: required qualifications list (PhD, postdoc, NIH funding, evidence of collaborative biomaterials research, record of scholarship, teaching experience, mentoring experience). Preferred qualifications list. We have benefits: mention start-up packages, medical/dental/vision benefits, competitive salaries, generous retirement plans, tuition assistance, wellness initiatives. Also mention salary and academic rank commensurate with qualifications (but we should not create Pay section unless actual numbers; we have no specific salary, just "commensurate". According to rule: 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. Benefits: they do state benefits (medical, dental, vision, retirement, tuition assistance, wellness). So we can include Benefits section. Pay: they only say "Salary and academic rank are commensurate with qualifications." That's placeholder; we should NOT create Pay section. Schedule: not mentioned; no schedule info. So omit Schedule. Skills: maybe we could extract from qualifications? But they ask to use Skills section only if posting has real specific content. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" list; qualifications cover. Could we put Skills as a section? Probably not, because no explicit skills list. Better to omit Skills. Thus sections: About the role (maybe description), Responsibilities (maybe overlapping), Requirements (maybe required qualifications), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Benefits. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's think: The instructions: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose which to include. We have description of role and responsibilities; we could put that under "About the role" or "Responsibilities". Probably "About the role" for overview, and "Responsibilities" for duties list. But we might combine to avoid thin sections. The rule: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine overview and responsibilities into one section, maybe "About the role". Or we could have "Responsibilities" with bullet list of duties, and "Requirements" with required qualifications, and "Qualifications" with preferred qualifications, and "Benefits". That's four sections. We need to ensure we don't repeat content. Let's extract: Overview: The School of Dental Medicine seeking full-time, 12-month, tenure-track or tenured faculty appointment at rank of assistant or associate professor in Department of Oral Biology and Pathology, with dental biomaterials research expertise. Tenure appointment requires tenure at present institution etc. The successful candidate will contribute to biomaterials curriculum, secure funding, demonstrate scholarship, supervise projects, participate in governance. Position will focus on collaborating with clinicians in lab assessment of treatment protocols; creating and testing commercial products; developing next-gen dental biomaterials. School completing construction of dental biomaterials research lab which this position will oversee. Accessible to all departments etc. Also mention school supports residency programs, research areas. That's substantive. Responsibilities: Could be list of duties: contribute to biomaterials curriculum for dental student and graduate programs; secure internal and external funding to support research; demonstrate continued record of scholarship; supervise dental student, resident and MS/PhD research projects; participate in school governance; collaborate with clinicians in laboratory assessment of different treatment protocols; create and test commercial products; develop next generation of dental biomaterials; oversee dental biomaterials research lab; ensure accessibility to all departments; engage in discipline-specific biomaterials research; provide opportunities for students/residents to conduct graduate level research projects; collaborate with dental specialty residency programs; etc. We can list as

• . Requirements: Required qualifications list. Qualifications: Preferred qualifications list. Benefits: mention start-up packages, medical/dental/vision benefits, competitive salaries, generous retirement plans, tuition assistance, wellness initiatives. We should not include location/open date/deadline as headings; we can put them in a short

  at top. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove all that. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft:

  Location: Stony Brook, New York. Open Date: Jun 16, 2026. Deadline: Nov 09, 2026 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time.

  Then

  About the role

  with paragraphs summarizing overview. Then

  Responsibilities

  with
  . Then

  Requirements

  with
  for required qualifications. Then

  Qualifications

  with
  for preferred qualifications. Then

  Benefits

  with
  for benefits. Check that we don't include filler like "commensurate with qualifications" in Benefits? Actually benefits section includes "competitive salaries" which is okay; it's a benefit statement. Not filler. We must not include Pay section. Now ensure we preserve all substantive information. Did we miss anything? The description also mentions "The school is completing the construction and equipping of a dental biomaterials research lab for which this position will oversee. It will be accessible to all departments in the SDM to engage in discipline-specific biomaterials research and provide opportunities for students and residents to conduct graduate level research projects." That's covered. Also "The SDM supports dental specialty residency programs in dental anesthesiology, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial radiology, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics and prosthodontics, creating opportunities for biomaterials research that have potential cross-discipline collaborations." Cover. Also "Dental-centered research areas in the SDM include enamel and dentin bonding, dental materials, cell biology and microbiology, psychosocial aspects of health and illness, applications of cone-beam CT, dental implants, 3D printing and applications of artificial intelligence in dental imaging." Could be included in responsibilities or overview. Might add as a bullet under responsibilities? Could be part of overview. We'll include in overview paragraph. Also "Stony Brook University, the top-ranked public university in New York State, is an R1 university and member of the Association of American Universities, providing a highly interactive environment with extensive opportunities for collaborations with faculty and joint appointments in other schools/colleges on campus." Could be part of overview. Also "Stony Brook University is a premier employer that provides exceptional rewards, including start-up packages in addition to medical, dental and vision benefits. The university's competitive salaries and benefits packages also include generous retirement plans, tuition assistance for employees, wellness initiatives and more." That's benefits. Also "For detailed information, visit the Stony Brook University website. For more information about the School of Dental Medicine, visit dentistry.stonybrookmedicine.edu." That's maybe boilerplate? It's a link; could be considered navigation? Might be considered application instructions? It's not exactly application instruction but could be considered info. The rule: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not exactly those, but it's a reference link. Might be considered navigation? Safer to omit? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The link to university website and school website is substantive? It's more like a reference. Might be considered boilerplate but it's not EEO etc. However it's not essential to the job. I'd keep it maybe as a short paragraph under About the role? But it's not about role. Could be considered "For more information". Might be considered navigation. I'd drop it to keep concise. Also "Click here to learn more about Stony Brook's research faculty." That's a link; could be considered navigation. Probably drop. Also "Special Notes" etc: tenure/non-tenure track, FLSA exempt, anticipated start date, background investigation, crime statistics, diversity statement, copyright, posted by... Those are boilerplate/legal; remove. Anticipated start date: "As soon as possible." That's schedule-related but vague; we should not create Schedule section because it's vague. Could we include start date in a short paragraph? The rule says never create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does state "Anticipated Start Date: As soon as possible." That's somewhat specific but vague. However it's still schedule info. The rule says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state start date, so we could include a Schedule section? But the start date is vague "As soon as possible." That's akin to "TBD" or "varies". The rule says 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. "As soon as possible" is somewhat placeholder but not exactly those examples. It's still vague. I'd avoid Schedule section to avoid thin content. Could include start date in a short paragraph with location/dates. But that might be considered metadata. I'd include it in the opening

  along with location and dates. Thus opening paragraph: Location, Open Date, Deadline, Anticipated Start Date. Now let's craft HTML. We need to ensure proper nesting. Let's write:

  Location: Stony Brook, New York. Open Date: Jun 16, 2026. Deadline: Nov 09, 2026 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. Anticipated Start Date: As soon as possible.

  Then sections. Now write About the role paragraph(s). Could be multiple paragraphs but we can combine. Let's draft: The School of Dental Medicine (SDM) at Stony Brook University seeks a full-time, 12‑month, tenure‑track or tenured faculty member at the rank of assistant or associate professor in the Department of Oral Biology and Pathology, with expertise in dental biomaterials research. A tenure appointment requires the candidate to already hold tenure at their current institution and qualifies for continuing appointment under SDM’s Guidelines for Faculty Appointment and Promotion. The successful candidate will contribute to the biomaterials curriculum for dental and graduate students, secure internal and external research funding, maintain an active record of scholarship, supervise dental student, resident, and MS/PhD research projects, and participate in school governance. The role focuses on collaborating with clinicians to assess treatment protocols in the laboratory, creating and testing commercial products, and developing the next generation of dental biomaterials. The SDM is completing construction and equipping a dedicated dental biomaterials research lab that this position will oversee, making it accessible to all SDM departments for discipline‑specific biomaterials research and providing graduate‑level research opportunities for students and residents. The school’s dental specialty residency programs (anesthesiology, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial radiology, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, prosthodontics) create additional cross‑disciplinary collaboration possibilities. Research areas within the SDM include enamel and dentin bonding, dental materials, cell biology and microbiology, psychosocial aspects of health and illness, cone‑beam CT applications, dental implants,
