We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections with real specific content. The posting includes Overview, Education, About Quinnipiac, Responsibilities (multiple subheadings), Education Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits mention (We offer a comprehensive benefits package...), Pay not mentioned, Schedule not mentioned (though it says 12-month position with 50% FTE commitment). That's schedule info: 12-month position with 50% FTE commitment. That could be considered schedule? It's about hours/commitment. The instruction: include Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. It does state benefits package, and schedule (12-month position with 50% FTE commitment). So we can include Benefits and Schedule sections. Pay not mentioned, so omit. We need to not repeat job title as heading. Use h3 for section headings. Use ul/li for lists. Use p for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: navigation, cookie, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "To Apply Special Instructions to Applicants:" etc? That's application instructions; we should remove. Also remove "We offer a comprehensive benefits package..."? That's benefits info, we keep but maybe as Benefits section. Remove "Quinnipiac University is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Remove "Share this job", social media, etc. Remove "Apply on website" repeated. Remove "You need to sign in or create an account to save a job." etc. Remove "Get job alerts". Remove "Similar jobs". Also remove "Overview" maybe we can incorporate into About the role? The instruction: use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings. "Overview" could be About the role. "Education" maybe part of Requirements or Qualifications? There's Education Requirements MD or PhD required; a physician degree is preferred. Background in education or behavioral psychology preferred. That's under Education Requirements. Also Qualifications list. So we can have Requirements (maybe Education Requirements) and Qualifications separate? The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Requirements and Qualifications as separate sections. Skills maybe not explicitly listed; we could omit Skills if no specific content. Benefits we have. Schedule we have. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract: - Position: Assistant Dean for Student Affairs (but we don't repeat as heading) - Location: North Haven, CT - Closing date Sep 22, 2026 (maybe minor metadata, we can fold into short p or drop) - Position Type: Assistant Dean - Hours: Full-time - Employment Type: Permanent - Organization Type: College / University - Overview: The Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University invites applications for an Assistant Dean for Student Affairs, a 12-month position with a 50% FTE commitment.

This includes initiatives focused on: Academic success and student support; Personal and professional development; Career exploration and preparation; Student well-being and wellness; A positive, inclusive, and supportive educational experience.

The Assistant Dean partners with faculty, staff, course and clerkship leadership, and colleagues across the School of Medicine and University to help create an environment in which students can thrive.

Connect with Quinnipiac on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and X. - Responsibilities: multiple bullet-like paragraphs under headings: Student Support, Advising, and Well-Being; Advising and Mentoring Programs; Career Development and Residency Advising; Student Programming and Engagement; Student Progress and Advocacy; Program Evaluation, Accreditation, and Continuous Quality Improvement; Leadership and Administration. Each contains several sentences. We need to represent as ul/li? The instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert each duty into list items. Could group under Responsibilities heading with ul li each duty. Could also keep subheadings as maybe p? But we need to follow instruction: use ul/li for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a ul with li each duty paragraph. Might lose subheadings but we can embed them inside li as strong? But we should preserve all substantive information; we can include subheading as part of li text. - Education Requirements: MD or PhD required; a physician degree is preferred. Background in education or behavioral psychology preferred. - Qualifications: list of bullet points: 5-7 years of experience in undergraduate medical education and demonstrated experience advising, mentoring, coaching, or supporting medical students is required. Demonstrated commitment to medical student success, well-being, professional development, and career preparation. Knowledge of the medical education continuum, including medical school academic requirements, specialty and career decision-making, residency application processes, and expectations for successful transition to graduate medical education. Strong interpersonal skills and demonstrated ability to establish trusting and effective relationships with students. Excellent written, oral, and presentation skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with students, faculty, staff, and institutional leaders. Strong organizational skills and demonstrated ability to develop, implement, coordinate, and evaluate programs. Ability to manage sensitive and confidential matters with discretion, empathy, professionalism, and sound judgment. Familiarity with LCME accreditation standards and best practices in medical student affairs, advising, career development, and student support is preferred. - Benefits: We offer a comprehensive benefits package for full-time faculty and staff which includes tuition remission and a culture that is inclusive and driven by excellence. - Schedule: 12-month position with a 50% FTE commitment. Also Hours: Full-time? Actually 50% FTE commitment is part-time? It's 50% FTE, but they said Hours Full-time earlier contradictory. We'll include both: 12-month position with 50% FTE commitment (i.e., part-time). Also Hours Full-time? Might be confusing. We'll just include the schedule info: 12-month position with a 50% FTE commitment. We need to exclude boilerplate: navigation, legal, EEO, scam-warning, application instructions, "To Apply Special Instructions to Applicants:", "We are an equal opportunity employer", "Share this job", social media, "Apply on website", "You need to sign in or create an account to save a job.", "Get job alerts", "Similar jobs". Also "View more categoriesView less categories" etc. We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags, no markdown fences. Let's craft:

    About the role

    ... (overview paragraph)

    Maybe also include location and closing date as minor metadata in a p. We could do:

    Location: North Haven, CT

    Closing date: Sep 22, 2026

    But instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we can include location and closing date in a p. Now About Quinnipiac could be part of About the role? Or maybe separate section "About Quinnipiac"? Not in list of headings; but we could include under About the role or maybe as a separate section "About the university". The instruction only gave examples; we can add other headings if needed? It says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could incorporate Quinnipiac description into About the role or maybe a separate "About Quinnipiac" section. I'd incorporate into About the role to keep sections few. Responsibilities: h3 Responsibilities then ul li each duty. Requirements: h3 Requirements then p for Education Requirements? Or we could have Requirements includes Education Requirements and maybe other requirements. Qualifications separate. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we will have:

    About the role

    Overview paragraph + location + closing date + maybe About Quinnipiac paragraph.

    But that may be long; still okay. Alternatively, we could have About the role (overview) and About Quinnipiac as separate sections but that adds more sections. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So better to combine. Let's draft About the role content: "The Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University invites applications for an Assistant Dean for Student Affairs, a 12-month position with a 50% FTE commitment.
