Assistant/Associate Professor (Tenure Track) - Music Technology

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID etc as headings. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention, no summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Wolfpack Perks And Benefits" maybe we keep Benefits section. Must not include placeholder like "commensurate with experience" for Pay? Actually Pay section: posting says "Anticipated Hiring Range Commensurate with experience, credentials, and faculty rank ($80,000 - $100,000)". That's specific: a range. So we can include Pay section with that range. Schedule: "Work Schedule Varies based on teaching schedule". That's vague but it's actual statement. Should we include Schedule? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state Work Schedule Varies based on teaching schedule. That's not placeholder like "varies" but it's a statement. It's somewhat vague but it's actual content. We can include Schedule section with that sentence. Benefits: they list many benefits. So include Benefits. About the role: we have "About The Department" etc. That's description of department and role. We can put that under About the role. Responsibilities: Essential Job Duties and Other Responsibilities. Requirements: Minimum Education and Experience Requires a Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree in music technology or related fields. Rank will be awarded based on education and experience. Also Required License(s) Or Certification(s) N/A etc. But we should not include placeholder like N/A? The 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. For Requirements, we have "Required License(s) Or Certification(s) N/A". That's placeholder N/A, we should not include that line. Also "Valid NC Driver's License required No Commercial Driver's License required No". That's specific info about driver's license. That could be part of Requirements or maybe Skills? It's a requirement. We'll include it. Qualifications: they have Minimum Education and Experience (which we might treat as Requirements) and Other Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications. The instructions separate sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements = minimum qualifications. Qualifications = preferred qualifications? Skills = skills. But we can follow the posting: they have "Minimum Education and Experience Requires..." that's a requirement. "Other Required Qualifications" list: Strong commitment to excellence in teaching, Excellent oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills. Those could be Requirements or Qualifications. "Preferred Qualifications": Teaching experience at the university level, PhD or DMA in music, music technology, computer science, electrical engineering or other related field, Experience and/or credentialing in both music and engineering, Demonstrated ability to collaborate with educational partners, business/industry, or external agencies, The ability to lead interdisciplinary programs requiring faculty collaboration. Those are preferred. Skills: maybe we can extract skills from responsibilities: develop externally funded research program, teach courses, advise students, serve on committees, manage/maintain classroom and lab technology. Also specific technical skills: musical acoustics and psychoacoustics, sound isolation, recording, mixing, audio digital signal processing, audio effects development, sound design, video game audio, audio/musical electronics, etc. We need to avoid duplication. We'll create sections:

About the role

with paragraph(s) describing department, transition, program details.

Responsibilities

with

• items: develop externally funded research program (45%); teach courses (45%) in list; assist in student advising; serve on department committees; assist in management and maintenance of classroom and lab technology; other duties as assigned.

  with
  • items: Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree in music technology or related fields; rank based on education and experience; strong commitment to excellence in teaching; excellent oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills; valid NC driver's license (no commercial driver's license required). Possibly also include that they must be able to obtain degree prior to start date? That's in boilerplate but maybe we should keep? It's in "Degree(s) must be obtained prior to start date..." That's a requirement but it's generic. Might be considered boilerplate? It's part of posting details but not EEO. It's a condition. We could include but it's somewhat generic. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. That line is not EEO but it's a condition. Might keep.

    Qualifications

    (preferred) with list: Teaching experience at the university level; PhD or DMA in music, music technology, computer science, electrical engineering or other related field; Experience and/or credentialing in both music and engineering; Demonstrated ability to collaborate with educational partners, business/industry, or external agencies; Ability to lead interdisciplinary programs requiring faculty collaboration.

But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We can list exactly as in responsibilities: "musical acoustics and psychoacoustics, sound isolation, recording, mixing, audio digital signal processing, audio effects development, sound design, video game audio, audio/musical electronics, and/or additional music technology areas associated with the candidate’s expertise." That's a phrase. We could break into list items but that might be summarizing? It's okay to break into items as long as we preserve the detail. We'll keep as a paragraph maybe. Better: For Skills we could just note the specific technical areas from responsibilities. But we might combine with Responsibilities. However we need a Skills section only if posting has real specific content for it. The posting does list specific technical areas. So we can include. Pay:

    Pay

We should not include the disclaimer about eligibility based on part-time/full-time. That's maybe boilerplate but it's specific. Might include as a note? The instruction: remove boilerplate, but this is about benefits eligibility. Might be considered part of benefits. Could keep as a sentence: "Perks and Benefit eligibility is based on Part-Time or Full-Time Employment status." Might be okay. We must not include application instructions (cover letter, resume, etc). Remove those. We must not include EEO block. We must not include recruitment dates etc. We must not include Position Details like Position Number, etc. We must not include Department ID. We must not include "Wolfpack Perks And Benefits" heading; we just use Benefits. Now produce HTML fragment only. Let's craft. We'll need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. No etc. We'll output:

      About the role

      ... paragraphs ...

      We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract About the role content: From posting: "About The Department The Division of Academic & Student Affairs ( DASA ) is where students discover connections and community. It is where students live, where they gather, where they improve themselves, each other, and their university. DASA is where students seek guidance and support, both in and outside of the classroom. The division serves all students at NC State. NC State wants employees to achieve their highest potential at work, learn more about our employee value proposition here ( You Belong Here ). The Division of Academic and Student Affairs is the place to work for values-driven faculty and staff who are passionate about promoting the success of the whole student. The Department of Performing Arts and Technology offers a variety of technique, ensemble, and lecture courses. The Department has a growing major in Music Technology and also provides academic minors in Dance Studies, Dance Performance and Choreography, Music Studies, Music Performance, and Arts Entrepreneurship. The department has a full complement of course offerings, musical ensembles, and dance companies with a national reputation that attracts students from across the campus. More information about the department can be found at https://performingartstech.dasa.ncsu.edu/ Over the next year, the Department of Performing Arts and Technology will transition from the Division of Academic and Student Affairs ( DASA ) to the College of Humanities and Social Sciences ( CHASS ). The transition will create new opportunities for collaboration and closer connections with related disciplines while providing an academic structure that supports the department’s continued growth and success. Candidates joining the department will be part of this exciting transition and contribute to the department’s continued development within CHASS . The Bachelor of Science in Music Technology is an interdisciplinary degree between Music and Technology degrees (e.g., Electrical and Computer Engineering). Students gain musical training through a musicianship core, applied musical instrument study, and a musical ensemble study. In parallel, students receive technical training through their core Math, Science, and technical concentration courses. Lastly, students combine these two through practical Music Technology courses that train students on the technical concepts for music and audio. Students receive training in the fundamentals of Acoustics, Psychoacoustics, Analog & Digital Audio technology, Musical Technology design, and algorithms. The plan concludes with the students fulfilling their core requirements, a senior design capstone project, and a music recital that has a technology component. This plan will prepare students for a career designing and building electronic musical instruments, professional audio devices, sound systems for consumer devices, and software for music production and consumption." We need to preserve all that. Might be long but okay. We'll put that in

      maybe multiple paragraphs but we can keep as one. Responsibilities: Essential Job Duties paragraph plus list.
