Assistant or Associate Professor of Biostatistics

We need to produce HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive information. We need to parse the posting content. Title: Assistant or Associate Professor of Biostatistics. Appointment Status Tenure Department IU Bloomington Epidemiology and Biostatistics Location Bloomington. Position Summary: paragraph about IU SPH-B etc. Responsibilities: given. About IUB: description. About SPH-B: description. About Bloomington: description. Basic Qualifications: list. Department Contact for Questions: contact info. Qualifications Additional Qualifications Salary and Rank Special Instructions Application Procedure: includes instructions to submit CV etc. This is application instructions; we must remove application instructions per rule: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the Application Procedure section entirely. Also remove "Before a conditional offer..." etc. Also remove "For Best Consideration Date", "Expected Start Date", "Posting Number". Those are metadata; we can 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 For Consideration Date, Expected Start Date maybe. But they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be okay to include a short paragraph with those details. We need sections: About the role (maybe Position Summary?), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Basic Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe Additional Qualifications?), Skills (maybe not present), Benefits (not present), Pay (not present), Schedule (not present). We should only include sections with real specific content. We have Position Summary (could be About the role). Responsibilities present. Basic Qualifications (requirements). Additional Qualifications? There's a line "Qualifications Additional Qualifications Salary and Rank Special Instructions". That seems garbled; maybe there is a section "Additional Qualifications" but not detailed. The posting includes "Basic Qualifications" and then later "Qualifications Additional Qualifications Salary and Rank Special Instructions". Likely the "Additional Qualifications" section is empty or just heading. We should not create a section if no specific content. So we may skip Qualifications. Skills: not present. Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not present. Thus we will have sections: About the role (Position Summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (Basic Qualifications), About IUB, About SPH-B, About Bloomington (maybe could be combined? but they are separate substantive sections). Could we combine them? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." But they are distinct topics; maybe we can keep them as separate sections if they have content. However we could also combine into a single "About Indiana University Bloomington" section covering IUB, SPH-B, Bloomington. But the instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). That suggests those are the allowed headings? It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. implies those are examples, not exclusive list. But we should likely stick to those headings for consistency. However we have content about IUB, SPH-B, Bloomington that doesn't fit those headings. Could we place them under "About the role"? Possibly we can expand About the role to include description of department, university, location. That would be substantive. Thus we could have:

About the role

containing position summary plus details about IU Bloomington, SPH-B, Bloomington.

Responsibilities

Requirements

containing Basic Qualifications. We might also include a short paragraph for metadata like For Consideration Date etc. Could be placed after About the role as a

maybe. We must not include application instructions. So we remove the "Application Procedure:" block. Also remove "Department Contact for Questions" maybe considered contact info; is that substantive? It's contact for questions; could be considered metadata but maybe we keep as a short paragraph? The instruction says "fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." Contact info could be minor metadata; we could include a short

with contact emails. But maybe better to drop it as it's not essential. However preserving ALL substantive information: contact info is substantive for applicants. But the instruction says we can fold minor metadata into a short

. So we can include a

with contact info. Similarly "For Best Consideration Date", "Expected Start Date", "Posting Number" are metadata; we can include in a short

. Thus final HTML:
