Assistant Director, Research Compliance
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to parse posting details.

- Physical Requirements: description.
- Work Environment/Work Week/Travel: description.
- Hiring Range $83,000 - $86,000 per year.
- Background Check Statement etc (boilerplate). We need to remove boilerplate like EEO, background check, etc. Also remove Special Instructions to Applicants? That's application instructions; we should remove. Also remove Posting Specific Questions (the required fields). Also remove Sponsorship statement? Might be considered metadata but not boilerplate? It says "Sponsorship This position is not eligible for a visa sponsorship now or in the future." That's substantive? Might be considered relevant but not required heading. Could be included in a paragraph maybe under About the role? But we need to decide.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for Responsibilities (Essential Functions). We have Requirements (Minimum Qualifications). We have Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). We have Skills (maybe part of Preferred). We have Benefits (Pacific offers full-time employees a unique opportunity to live on our beautiful campus at below-market rental rates—helping you save time and money on your commute.) Also maybe other benefits? Not mentioned. So we can include Benefits section with that statement.
Pay: we have Hiring Range $83,000 - $86,000 per year. So we can include Pay section.
Schedule: we have Work Schedule? The posting includes "Number of Months 12", "Full or Part Time Full Time", "Work Schedule Position End Date Open Date 08/11/2026 Close Date Open Until Filled Yes". That's not schedule details like typical work week. There's also "Work Environment/Work Week/Travel" includes "Work hours may include weekends and holidays. Must respond to after-hour emergency calls when necessary." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that.
We also have About the role: could be the Position Summary Information (Primary Purpose). We'll put that as About the role.
We need to avoid duplication: The Primary Purpose repeats similar sentences; we can keep but not duplicate verbatim? We should preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. However we can combine similar sentences but must not lose info. Might be okay to keep both sentences as they are; but we should avoid duplication? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't forbid removing duplicate lines? It says remove duplicated lines. So we should deduplicate identical lines. The Primary Purpose appears twice with slight variation. We can combine into one paragraph that includes all unique info.
Let's extract unique substantive sentences:
Primary Purpose: "Serves as the Institutional Research Board (IRB) Manager for all three campuses. Responsible for interpreting IRB federal, state, local, and other regulations as they apply to IRB human research protocols and/or proposals and then directing, reporting, and monitoring adherence for all three University campuses grants, contracts and any activities involving human research (Institutional Review Board [IRB]) under Federal Wide Assurances. Fully manage IRB protocols and process and administer incoming sponsored contracts. Serves as the Institutional Review Board (IRB) Manager for all three campuses. Oversees the review, approval, and monitoring of IRB regulations and protocols, as well as the administration of sponsored research contracts and activities under Federal Wide Assurance."
We can combine: "Serves as the Institutional Research Board (IRB) Manager for all three campuses. Responsible for interpreting IRB federal, state, local, and other regulations as they apply to IRB human research protocols and/or proposals and then directing, reporting, and monitoring adherence for all three University campuses grants, contracts and any activities involving human research (Institutional Review Board [IRB]) under Federal Wide Assurances. Fully manage IRB protocols and process and administer incoming sponsored contracts. Oversees the review, approval, and monitoring of IRB regulations and protocols, as well as the administration of sponsored research contracts and activities under Federal Wide Assurance."
Now Essential Functions list bullet points. We'll convert to - .
Minimum Qualifications: list.
Preferred Qualifications: list.
Skills: maybe we can extract from Preferred Qualifications: "Intermediate to advanced skills in MS Office suite, and Adobe Acrobat Pro. Ability to adapt to emerging technology. Excellent wiring and oral communication skills. Excellent event/meeting scheduling and records management skills." Also "Positive attitude, proven ability to work successfully with diverse populations and demonstrated commitment to promote and enhance diversity and inclusion." That's more of a qualification/attribute. We'll keep under Qualifications maybe.
But we have separate sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where.
Typically: Requirements = Minimum Qualifications. Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications. Skills = maybe specific skills like MS Office, communication, etc. But we can also put those under Qualifications. However instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we might combine.
We could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
That's 7 sections. Could be okay.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "not specified". We have actual content for each.
Now we need to strip boilerplate: remove Special Instructions to Applicants, Sponsorship? Might keep sponsorship as a note under About the role? But it's not required. Might be considered metadata but not boilerplate. However we can keep it as a short paragraph under About the role if we want to preserve all substantive info. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Sponsorship is minor metadata; we could fold into a short
under About the role or drop it. Since it's not essential, maybe drop it. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; dropping it would lose info. So we should include it somewhere, maybe as a paragraph under About the role.
Similarly, Physical Requirements and Work Environment/Work Week/Travel: we could include under Requirements? Or maybe under a separate section like "Working Conditions". But we don't have a heading for that in allowed list. Allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to fit Physical Requirements and Work Environment into one of those. Could be under Requirements (as part of job requirements) or under Qualifications. Probably Requirements includes both qualifications and physical demands. We'll include them under Requirements as additional bullet points or paragraphs.
Similarly, Work Environment/Work Week/Travel could go under Schedule (since it includes work hours). Or under Requirements. We'll put schedule-related info under Schedule section: "Work hours may include weekends and holidays. Must respond to after-hour emergency calls when necessary." Also maybe "General office working conditions. Animal facility and laboratories with moderate noise possible. Working with potentially hazardous/noxious devices..." That's more about environment; could be under Requirements as well.
But we have limited headings; we can put environment under Requirements as a paragraph.
Let's design:
About the role

Pacific offers full-time employees a unique opportunity to live on our beautiful campus at below-market rental rates—helping you save time and money on your commute. This position is not eligible for a visa sponsorship now or in the future.
But note: Benefits section will also include the campus housing benefit. We might duplicate if we put it in About the role. Better to keep About the role focused on purpose, and move the benefit to Benefits section. So we remove that sentence from About the role and put in Benefits.
Thus About the role: just the purpose summary.
Now Responsibilities: Essential Functions list.
We'll produce - for each essential function.
List them:
