Then there is EEO boilerplate etc. Remove.
Also there is "As required under NYC Human Rights Law Int 1208-2018 - Salary range for this role when Hired for NYC Offices" - that is about salary range, we already have salary range.
We need sections: About the role (maybe position summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe education+experience?), Qualifications (maybe knowledge, skills and abilities?), Skills (maybe overlapping), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must only include sections when posting has real, specific content. So we need to decide which sections to include.
We have:
- About the role: Position Summary (substantive). So include About the role
with
containing the summary. - Responsibilities: list of duties. So include
Responsibilities
with- each bullet.
- Requirements: Could combine Education and Experience? The spec says we can have Requirements section. We'll include education and experience there. Or we could split into Qualifications and Skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's think: The posting includes Education, Experience, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities, Licenses and Certifications, Working Conditions. We could make:
- Qualifications: Education + Experience (maybe combined)
- Skills: Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (maybe plus Licenses/Certs if any)
- Benefits: none mentioned (no benefits described). So we should NOT include Benefits section.
- Pay: Salary range is given, so include Pay section.
- Schedule: Work Days Weekly Hours: 35.00, plus ability to work flexible hours evenings weekends. So we have schedule info. Include Schedule section.
We must not include sections with filler like "not specified". So we include only those with content.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule.
Check if any other sections like Benefits: none.
Now we need to format.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no
Assistant Lead...
. We must not put Job ID etc. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to extract each bullet from Responsibilities exactly as given. Let's copy responsibilities text: "Design & implement end-to-end personalized TCR discovery workflow incl. tumor-reactive T cell identification, TCR cloning & characterization, specificity validation, & safety de-risking leading to the selection of personalized TCRs for clinical application Design and implement advanced de-risking methods and workflows to assess alloreactivity, unintended HLA interactions, off-target toxicity risk including X-scan, peptide library screens and library-on-library HTS Interpret and report complex campaigns for identification of TCRs against known tumor antigens Integrate data across functional potency, specificity, and safety to support go/no-go decisions on specific TCRs, their cloning, specificity validation, and safety de-risking Prepare translational packages (reports, assay descriptions, validation summaries) supporting IND/CTA‑enabling preclinical data Collaborate with cross functional teams to integrate learnings and advance gene therapy initiatives Operate with highest integrity and ethics, conduct all experiments following lab, department, and college policies and procedures Mentor and train junior scientists and staff, promote scientific rigor, collaboration, independent thinking, and career advancement. Prepare scientific abstracts and articles, publish results in research journals, and present findings at conferences" We need each as - . Ensure we keep punctuation.
Now Education: "PhD in Immunology, Molecular/Cell Biology, Genetic Engineering or related field"
Experience: "A minimum of 8+ years post-PhD experience in academia or industry setting.Prior experience in TCR discovery, complex immune assays and preclinical development is required.Experience working across functional teams."
Note there is no space after periods; we should keep as is but maybe we can add space for readability? Must preserve info; adding spaces is okay as not altering meaning? Safer to keep exactly as given but we can add spaces for readability; but it's not altering substantive info. Probably fine.
Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: "Deep expertise in high-throughput TCR discovery, functional validation, and safety de-risking. Ability to work in a fast-paced and milestone-oriented environment Passion for scientific innovation and the bridging of rigorous basic science with translational impact. Familiar with advancing candidates from discovery through preclinical validation to IND enabling. Highly organized and detail-oriented with excellent written and verbal communication skills."
Note there is missing space after "environment". We'll keep as is.
Licenses and Certifications: none.
Working Conditions/Physical Demands: "Ability to work flexible hours, evenings and weekends, when requested for special projects."
Now Pay: Salary Range: $128,700.00 - $146,100.00 plus note about NYC Human Rights Law. We'll include that as part of Pay section.
Schedule: Work Days Weekly Hours: 35.00 plus ability to work flexible hours evenings and weekends when requested for special projects (already in Working Conditions). We'll combine schedule info: weekly hours 35.00, plus flexible hours.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only.

We must ensure we didn't include Benefits section. Check for any other substantive info: Location: Upper East Side, Org Unit: MCC Laboratories, Exemption Status: Exempt. Should we include those? They are not covered by headings; maybe we could include them in About the role paragraph? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could incorporate location, org unit, exemption status into About the role paragraph as extra detail. But we must preserve all substantive information. If we omit them, we lose info. So we need to include them somewhere. Could add them to About the role paragraph after the summary. Or we could create a separate section like "Job Details" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list is limited to those specific ones; we should not create other headings. So we must fold them into existing sections, maybe About the role or Qualifications etc. The About the role section could include location, org unit, exemption status. That seems appropriate. Thus About the role paragraph: combine position summary plus location, org unit, exemption status. Let's craft:The Assistant Lead, TCR Discovery, is responsible for supporting the development of a rigorous, high‑throughput discovery and preclinical development engine that identifies high throughput and with high confidence tumor-specific TCRs for downstream analysis, engineering, and translational development. Located on the Upper East Side within MCC Laboratories, this exempt position entails a 35‑hour work week.
But we already have schedule section with weekly hours; maybe we shouldn't duplicate. However we need to preserve location and org unit and exemption status. We could put them in About the role. Thus About the role paragraph: include position summary, location, org unit, exemption status. Schedule section: weekly hours and flexible hours. Now check duplication: we might mention weekly hours in both About and Schedule; but we can keep schedule only and not repeat in About. Let's keep About: position summary, location, org unit, exemption status. Not mention hours. Thus About the role paragraph: "The Assistant Lead, TCR Discovery, is responsible for supporting the development of a rigorous, high‑throughput discovery and preclinical development engine that identifies high throughput and with high confidence tumor-specific TCRs for downstream analysis, engineering, and translational development. Position is located on the Upper East Side within MCC Laboratories and is exempt." Now schedule: weekly hours 35.00 and flexible hours. Now ensure we didn't lose any other info: Work Days Weekly Hours: 35.00 (we have). Exemption Status: Exempt (we have). Location: Upper East Side (we have). Org Unit: MCC Laboratories (we have). Good. Now check responsibilities list: we have all bullet points. Check experience: we have. Check knowledge, skills: we have. Check licenses/certs: none. Check working conditions: we placed flexible hours in schedule; but we also have "Ability to work flexible hours, evenings and weekends, when requested for special projects." That's covered in schedule. Now check if any other substantive: "As required under NYC Human Rights Law Int 1208-2018 - Salary range for this role when Hired for NYC Offices" we included in Pay. Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed. Now output HTML. Make sure to properly escape any HTML special characters like & in responsibilities: we have "Design & implement". Should we keep as "&"? It's fine as is; but to be safe we could keep as "&"? The original text uses "&". In HTML, "&" is okay if it's part of "& "? Actually "&" starts an
