Assistant or Associate Professor in Educational Policy Studies - RISE Earth
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Keep substantive info.
We need to parse the posting and extract sections.
Let's identify content:
- Job Summary: description of position, focus, expectations, start date August 2027, interest in scholars with strong disciplinary training in social sciences, inequality, mixed/advanced quantitative methods, experience teaching undergrad/grad, develop new courses, PhD or terminal degree in education or related field with strong focus on education.
- Principal Duties: list of duties: conduct original research and generate scholarly publications sufficient for tenure; participate in interdisciplinary and collaborative efforts; develop and teach undergraduate and graduate courses; supervise and serve on committees of Master's and Doctoral candidates; serve on departmental, School of Education, and university committees; engage in professional service at university, local, regional, national, and/or international levels commensurate with appointment.
- Departmental Information: description of department, ranking, interdisciplinary environment.
- Additional Information: about School of Education ranking, programs, culture of belonging, RISE Initiative description (multiple repetitions). We need to keep substantive info, but avoid duplication. We can summarize but not invent. We need to preserve all substantive information; we can keep but avoid repeating same sentences. However we must not invent or summarize away detail. We can keep the description but maybe combine duplicates into one paragraph.
- Salary: "Salary is commensurate with experience." Also later "Compensation: Negotiable Commensurate with qualifications and experience." So we have pay info: commensurate with experience/qualifications. According to rules, we should include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state salary is commensurate with experience. So we can include a Pay section with that statement. However we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" is not placeholder; it's actual statement. So we can include.
- Benefits: "This position offers a comprehensive benefits package, including generous paid time off, competitively priced health/dental/vision/life insurance, tax-advantaged savings accounts, and participation in the nationally recognized Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) pension fund." So we have Benefits section.
- Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. No schedule info. So we should not create Schedule section.
- Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we can infer from qualifications but not explicit list. Better not to create Skills section unless there is explicit list. There's no explicit skills list.
- Qualifications: There's "Required Qualifications:" list: PhD or terminal degree in education or related field by start date; Expertise in education, broadly construed, with emphasis on relationships between education and environment; Evidence of established or potential research and scholarly excellence as exhibited by peer-reviewed publications or other forms of academic scholarship; Evidence of success or professional promise in securing external funding to support research and scholarship; Evidence of excellence in teaching and mentorship, including through direct instruction and other forms of advising and support at the undergraduate and graduate levels; Experience working successfully with diverse students and colleagues. Also note for Associate Professor rank must possess all qualifications commensurate for appointment with tenure.
- Education: "Earned doctorate or terminal degree in education or related field. Degree must be conferred by start date." This is similar to qualifications.
- How to Apply etc: we need to remove application instructions per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the "How to Apply:" section, contact information, etc. Also remove Institutional Statement on Diversity, etc. Also remove Land Acknowledgement? That might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but maybe still considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Land Acknowledgement is not explicitly listed, but could be considered legal? Might be safer to keep? It's not EEO, but it's a statement. However it's not substantive about the job; it's more of a statement. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Land Acknowledgement is substantive? It's about the location. Might be considered not essential to job but still part of posting. However typical job postings include it; but the instruction didn't explicitly say to remove it. It said remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Land Acknowledgement is not EEO. Might be considered legal? It's a statement about land. Could be considered legal? Not sure. Safer to keep? But we also have to remove duplicated lines. There's duplication of RISE description repeated twice. We should deduplicate.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe job summary), Responsibilities (principal duties), Requirements (maybe qualifications), Qualifications (maybe education?), Benefits, Pay.
But we must not create sections with filler. Use heading only if there is real specific content.
Let's craft:
About the role
... job summary ...
Responsibilities
- ... each duty ...
Requirements
- ... required qualifications ...
Maybe also Qualifications
for education? But we can combine required qualifications and education into one Requirements section.
Benefits: Benefits
- ... benefits items ...
Pay: Pay
Salary is commensurate with experience and qualifications.
We should not include Schedule.
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information: job summary details, responsibilities list, department info, additional info about School of Education, RISE initiative, etc. Where to put those? They could go under About the role or maybe a separate section like Department Overview. But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put department info and RISE under About the role as part of the role description.
We must not omit substantive info. So we need to include details about department ranking, interdisciplinary environment, School of Education ranking, RISE initiative details, etc. We'll embed them in About the role paragraph(s).
We must avoid duplication: there are two identical paragraphs about RISE; we will include once.
Also there is repeated sentence: "This position is part of the Wisconsin Research, Innovation and Scholarly Excellence (RISE) Initiative..." repeated twice. We'll include once.
Also there is duplicated line: "Further information regarding RISE can be found at: https://rise.wisc.edu/" repeated twice. We'll include once.
Also there is duplicated line about "Over the next three academic years..." etc. That's part of RISE description; we need to include that content but not duplicate.
Let's extract the substantive content:
From posting:
- Job Summary paragraph: "The Department of Educational Policy Studies at UW-Madison invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant or Associate level, with a focus on Education and the Environment. The faculty member is expected to develop original, innovative, empirical research that can attract external funding to explore the relationships among education, the environment, and human systems (e.g., social, cultural, economic, political, geographical, etc.). These may include the impacts of environmental change and climate policies on individual, familial, or societal outcomes across the lifespan, domestically or internationally, or education policy and practice responses to environmental change, such as those related to governance, technology, sustainability, migration, rurality, and more. This position will begin August of 2027. We are especially interested in scholars with strong disciplinary training in the social sciences and who explicitly consider dimensions of inequality in their work. Scholars who use mixed or advanced quantitative methods are particularly encouraged to apply. Applicants should have experience or the capacity to teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels and to develop new courses. Candidates should have earned a Ph.D. or terminal degree in education or a related field (such as demography, geography, economics, public health, sociology, or political science) with a strong focus on education."
- Principal Duties list: we have list.
- Departmental Information: "The Department of Educational Policy Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is one of the nation’s highest-ranked programs in educational policy and practice. We examine educational policies, practices, movements, outcomes, dilemmas, and controversies — as well as the forces shaping them — through the lenses of international and comparative education, anthropology, economics, geography, history, sociology, philosophy, policy analysis, and politics. We value a collegial interdisciplinary environment for research and teaching."
- Additional Information: "The Department of Educational Policy Studies resides in the UW-Madison School of Education, which was ranked as the top School of Education in the nation for the last three years. The School is proud of the outstanding breadth of its programs, with departments in Education, Health, and the Arts. The School views this broad range of programs as a tremendous strength. The UW-Madison School of Education is dedicated to maintaining and growing a culture of belonging, wellbeing, and equal opportunity, believing these values are foundational elements of our excellence and fundamental components of a positive learning/working environment for students, faculty, and staff. This position is part of the Wisconsin Research, Innovation and Scholarly Excellence (RISE) Initiative. Through accelerated and strategic faculty hiring, research infrastructure enhancement, interdisciplinary collaboration, and increased student and educational opportunities, RISE addresses complex societal challenges of importance to the state, nation and world. Building on UW–Madison’s strengths, RISE expands the University’s successful track record of connecting with communities and industry on collaborative solutions. Over the next three academic years, UW–Madison will substantially increase current hiring levels, bringing 150 new RISE faculty to campus. Candidates hired through RISE will join a community of scholars working across disciplines, schools and colleges on research, teaching and outreach endeavors. The community will engage regularly in venues such as seminar series and colloquia to share ongoing projects and identify opportunities to work together. The University will support the community, facilitating access to research infrastructure, and funding to support broad and rich collaboration. Further information regarding RISE can be found at: https://rise.wisc.edu/"
- Land Acknowledgement: maybe we can keep? It's not EEO but maybe considered legal? I'd consider removing to be safe? The instruction says remove legal boilerplate. Land Acknowledgement could be considered legal? Not sure. I'd remove it to avoid risk.
- Required Qualifications list: we have.
- Education: similar.
- Compensation/Benefits: we have.
- Contact info etc: remove.
Thus we need to include all that.
Now craft HTML.
We'll have:
About the role
Job summary paragraph + department info + additional info about School of Education and RISE (deduplicated).
We need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Current Employees: If you are currently employed..." etc. Remove that.
Also remove "Job Category: Faculty Employment Type: Regular Job Profile: Assistant Professor". That's metadata; we should fold minor metadata into a short or drop it. 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 paragraph with Job Category, Employment Type, Job Profile maybe. But it's minor metadata; we could drop it. Safer to drop.
Thus About the role will contain the substantive paragraphs.
Now Responsibilities: list each duty.
We have duties from "Principal Duties:" and also "Key Job Responsibilities:" which is a list but seems similar. Let's combine unique
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Keep substantive info. We need to parse the posting and extract sections.
