Assistant Director, Research Administration

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes overview, responsibilities, required skills, preferred skills, principal responsibilities, required education and experience, compensation grade, salary range, time type, duration type, work model, background check, health requirements, posting disclaimer, note about tobacco-free, etc. We must include only sections with real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to filter out EEO statements, tobacco-free note maybe considered boilerplate? It's a note about tobacco-free campus; might be considered boilerplate but it's specific to Yale. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Tobacco-free note is not EEO but maybe still considered boilerplate? It's a policy note. Might be okay to keep? Safer to remove as it's not substantive about the role. Also background check requirements and health requirements might be considered boilerplate but they are specific to the position; they are substantive? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Background check and health requirements are not those categories; they are position-specific requirements, so we can keep them. However we must not create sections like Benefits, Pay, Schedule unless posting actually states them. The posting includes Salary Range, Time Type Full time, Duration Type Staff, Work Model Hybrid. So we can have a Pay section (salary range) and Schedule section (time type, duration type, work model). Benefits not mentioned, so omit Benefits. We need headings: About the role (maybe Overview), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Required Skills And Abilities), Qualifications (maybe Required Education and Experience), Skills (maybe Preferred Skills And Abilities), Pay, Schedule. Also maybe a section for Background Check and Health Requirements? Could be under Requirements or separate? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine background check and health into a "Requirements" section along with required skills and education? But we already have Required Skills And Abilities and Required Education and Experience. Could combine them into a single "Requirements" section with subpoints? However we must use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have a section "Requirements" with lists for required skills, education, background check, health. But we also have Preferred Skills And Abilities; could be a "Preferred Qualifications" section. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can reorganize into sections. Let's extract substantive content: Overview paragraph: "Working at Yale means contributing to a better tomorrow. Whether you are a current resident of our New Haven-based community, eligible for opportunities through the New Haven Hiring Initiative, or a newcomer, interested in exploring all that Yale has to offer, your talents and contributions are welcome. Discover your opportunities at Yale!

Required Education and Experience: "Bachelors’ degree and 7 years of experience or equivalent combination of education and experience." Job Posting Date: 09/17/2026 (maybe minor metadata, can be folded into short p or dropped). We can include in a short p at top maybe. Job Category: Manager (maybe not needed). Bargaining Unit NON, Compensation Grade Administration & Operations, Compensation Grade Profile Senior Manager; Senior Program Leader (M6). Salary Range $90,000.00 - $165,750.00. Time Type Full time. Duration Type Staff. Work Model Hybrid. Background Check Requirements paragraph. Health Requirements paragraph. Posting Disclaimer paragraph (maybe boilerplate? It's a disclaimer about salary offers etc. Might be considered boilerplate but it's specific to the posting. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is a disclaimer about salary offers; might be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to remove? It's not EEO but it's a disclaimer. Could be considered legal. I'd remove it to be safe. Note Yale University is a tobacco-free campus. Probably boilerplate; remove. Thus we keep: Overview, Required Skills And Abilities, Preferred Skills And Abilities, Principal Responsibilities, Required Education and Experience, Salary Range, Time Type, Duration Type, Work Model, Background Check Requirements, Health Requirements. We need to decide sections: About the role (Overview). Responsibilities (Principal Responsibilities). Requirements (maybe combine Required Skills And Abilities + Required Education and Experience + Background Check + Health). Skills (Preferred Skills And Abilities). Pay (Salary Range). Schedule (Time Type, Duration Type, Work Model). Could also have a separate "Qualifications" section for education/experience. But we must not create thin sections. Let's think: We could have: - About the role (Overview) - Responsibilities (Principal Responsibilities) - Requirements (Required Skills And Abilities + Required Education and Experience + Background Check + Health) - Preferred Qualifications (Preferred Skills And Abilities) - Pay (Salary Range) - Schedule (Time Full time, Duration Staff, Work Model Hybrid) That seems reasonable. Now we need to output HTML fragment with

  for each section heading. Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Thus:

    About the role

    Overview paragraph...

    Responsibilities

    • ...
    ...

    Requirements

    We need to include required skills list, education/experience, background check, health. Could combine into one list? But they are different types. Could have subheadings? Not allowed; only headings are h3. Could use

    for prose and

    • for lists. So we could have:

      Requirements

      • Strong financial and analytical skills with demonstrated application of financial, accounting, and compliance concepts in a research administration setting.
      ...
      • Bachelors’ degree and 7 years of experience or equivalent combination of education and experience.
      • All candidates for employment will be subject to pre-employment background screening for this position, which may include motor vehicle, DOT certification, drug testing and credit checks based on the position description and job requirements. All offers are contingent upon the successful completion of the background check.
      • Certain positions have associated health requirements based on specific job responsibilities. These may include vaccinations, tests, or examinations, as required by law, regulation, or university policy.
      That seems okay.

      Preferred Qualifications

      ...

      Pay

      Salary Range: $90,000.00 - $165,750.00

      Schedule

      Time Type: Full time

      Duration Type: Staff

      Work Model: Hybrid

      We could also combine schedule into one p with semicolons. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The overview includes mention of New Haven Hiring Initiative etc. Keep that. Check for duplicated lines: none. Check for boilerplate removed: EEO, tobacco-free, posting disclaimer removed. Check for any mention of "Job Posting Date" etc: we omitted; could fold into short p but we dropped. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

      or drop it. So we could include a short p at top with posting date maybe. But it's optional. I'd include a short p:

      Posted: 09/17/2026

      before sections. That's minor metadata. Now ensure we didn't invent anything. Let's craft the HTML. Be careful with escaping: no special characters needing escape except maybe & in "M
