We must not include duplicated lines, boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions, Special Instructions to Applicants, Proposed Job Duties & Responsibilities (some overlapping), etc. But we need to preserve substantive info; we can incorporate responsibilities from that section.
We must not include headings with filler text. So we need to decide which sections to include.
Potential sections:
- About the role (job summary + department description)
- Responsibilities (teaching, service, Crime Lab relationship, curriculum development, advising, office hours)
- Requirements (required qualifications)
- Preferred Qualifications (maybe as Qualifications section? The instruction says use headings like Qualifications, Skills. We could have Qualifications for required, and maybe Skills for preferred? But better to have Requirements and Qualifications separate? The list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could put required qualifications under Requirements, preferred under Qualifications, and maybe skills under Skills (communication, culturally responsive). But we can also combine.
We need to avoid thin sections. Let's think: we have enough content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 7 sections.
We must not include sections like Skills if we don't have distinct skill list beyond what's in requirements. But we could list skills: Excellent communication skills, culturally responsive teaching, ability to apply universal access, etc. That's okay.
But we must not repeat content. We'll try to allocate.
Let's extract substantive paragraphs:
Job Summary paragraph: "The Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Physics has 12 tenure-track faculty and roughly 110 undergraduate majors. The department boasts world class research and teaching facilities. Faculty offices and research labs are located in the Science building, which has just completed a major renovation in 2026 while our teaching labs are primarily located in the adjacent Interdisciplinary Science Center which opened in 2021 and is connected to the Science building by sky bridges. The Washington State Patrol Crime Lab is located on the EWU campus, and the department has a robust relationship with Crime Lab staff. The successful candidate is expected to maintain this relationship and participate in management of the Memorandum of Understanding with the Washington State Patrol. The department is well equipped with modern instrumentation (much of it newly purchased) and includes mass spectrometry, CD spectroscopy, gas chromatography, FPLC, HPLC, fluorescent plate readers, 400 MHz NMR, qPCR and capillary electrophoresis. We are seeking broadly trained candidates who will be inspirational teachers, role models, and mentors who complement the strengths of our faculty to engage in instructionally intensive undergraduate programs. The successful candidate will demonstrate a commitment to excellence in teaching and to the development of a strong externally funded research program involving undergraduates. Candidates must show a high degree of interest in human and cultural diversity with a demonstrated ability to apply a culturally responsive and flexible approach to teaching and scholarship that is supportive to the diverse needs, including universal access, of our students, faculty, staff, and the public.

We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, etc. We omitted location? The location is Cheney; maybe we should include location in About the role or as a separate line? The instruction says do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we could include it in About the role paragraph or a short p. But we already have About the role paragraph long; we could add location there. However we must preserve all substantive information; location is substantive. So we should include location somewhere. Could add a sentence in About the role: "Located in Cheney, Washington." Or we could add a separate short paragraph after About the role? But we should not create a heading for minor metadata. So we can incorporate location into About the role paragraph.
