Assistant Professor - Communication Sciences and Disorders
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should not include the list of required application materials. Also remove navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Keep substantive info.
Let's parse the posting:
- Department: Communication Disorders
- Salary: Commensurate with experience (this is vague, "commensurate with experience" - we should NOT create Pay section because it's not specific; rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. "Commensurate with experience" is not specific, so we should not include Pay section.
- Description: The Department ... invites applications for a nine-month, tenure-track Assistant Professor position beginning Fall 2027.
- Qualifications include: earned Ph.D. in Communication Sciences and Disorders or related field, potential for a strong record of research and scholarship, teaching experience, and a desire to contribute to a growing, innovative program. CCCs are strongly preferred.
- Areas of need include: dysphagia, speech sound disorders, audiology and aural rehabilitation, speech science, multilingualism, and social communication, though all strong applicants will be considered.
- Responsibilities include: teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in the candidate’s area of expertise, directing student research, participating in service at the department, university, and professional levels, and consulting with clinical educators as needed.
- The University of Houston, a Carnegie-designated Tier One public research university, is centrally located in Houston, Texas. Situated within four miles of the Texas Medical Center, the world's largest medical complex, the university affords extensive opportunities for interdisciplinary research and clinical collaboration.
- As an expanding academic unit, the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (www.class.uh.edu/comd) is exceptionally well supported by the college as a center for high-impact research, rigorous education, and community clinical service. We have approximately 300 undergraduate and 80 graduate students. Degrees offered include: B.A. and B.S. degrees in Communication Sciences and Disorders, an M.A. degree in Speech-Language Pathology, and a Ph.D. in Communication Sciences and Disorders. Additionally, the department offers a post-baccalaureate leveling program. Our on-campus clinic provides services to a broad demographic cross-section of the greater Houston area across a wide range of ages, disorders, and etiologies.
- Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the positions are filled. (This is application instruction? Might be considered boilerplate; but it's about timeline. Might be considered metadata; but we can keep as part of description? The instruction says remove application instructions. This is about review timeline; maybe we can keep as part of description? It's not exactly instruction to apply, but it's about process. Safer to drop? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So "Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the positions are filled." is an application instruction (timeline). So drop.
- Applications must include a letter of interest with stated qualifications, a summary of research accomplishments and future goals, copies of representative work, a statement of teaching interests and philosophy, and a curriculum vitae. Summaries of teaching evaluations are welcome. Questions regarding the application process or position may be directed to Dr. Amber Thiessen at althiess@central.uh.edu. Employees are expected to have a home address in the state of Texas for the duration of their appointments. Official transcripts are required for a faculty appointment and will be requested upon selection of the final candidates. All positions at the University of Houston-System are security sensitive and will require a criminal history check. Individuals conducting research in critical infrastructure areas (i.e., communication infrastructure systems, cybersecurity systems, electric grid, hazardous waste treatment systems, and/or water treatment facilities) are subject to regular review to ensure the security and integrity of the research is maintained. The University of Houston System and its universities are Equal Opportunity Institutions. Everyone is encouraged to apply.
We need to remove application instructions (the list of required materials, contact info, etc.) and EEO boilerplate. Also remove security sensitive etc? That might be considered boilerplate but it's substantive? It's about security check; maybe we can keep as part of description? It's not exactly EEO but it's a requirement. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The security check is not EEO; it's a requirement. Might keep? However it's somewhat boilerplate but it's a condition of employment. The instruction says remove duplicated lines and application instructions. The security check is not an application instruction; it's a condition. I'd keep it as part of description maybe.
But we need to decide sections: We have description (overview), qualifications, responsibilities, maybe "About the role" could be the description paragraph. Could also have "Qualifications" section for Ph.D., research potential, teaching experience, CCCs preferred. Could have "Areas of need" maybe as part of qualifications or responsibilities? Could be a separate section "Areas of need" but not in allowed headings list. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map content to these.
- About the role: could include the position description: nine-month tenure-track Assistant Professor, start Fall 2027, department info, university info, location, opportunities, student numbers, degrees offered, clinic.
- Responsibilities: teaching graduate/undergrad courses, directing student research, service, consulting with clinical educators.
- Qualifications: earned Ph.D. in CSD or related field, potential for strong record of research/scholarship, teaching experience, desire to contribute to growing innovative program, CCCs strongly preferred.
- Requirements: maybe the areas of need? Or maybe "Requirements" could include the areas of need? But "Requirements" is similar to qualifications. Could also include "home address in Texas", "official transcripts", "criminal history check", "security sensitive". Those are requirements for appointment. Could be placed under Requirements.
- Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; could be omitted if no specific skills.
- Benefits: not specified; we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. No benefits mentioned.
- Pay: not specific; omit.
- Schedule: nine-month position; that is a schedule. The posting says "nine-month, tenure-track Assistant Professor position". That is a schedule (academic year). So we can include Schedule section with "Nine-month appointment (academic year)". That's specific enough.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for each section heading.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, qualifications list, requirements list, we should use
- . For prose, use
.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like "nine-month, tenure-track Assistant Professor position beginning Fall 2027", "Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, a CAA-accredited program in Speech-Language Pathology at the University of Houston", etc.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
Let's extract substantive content:
From posting:
- Department: Communication Disorders (maybe not needed as heading but could be in About the role)
- Salary: Commensurate with experience (we ignore)
- Description: The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, a CAA-accredited program in Speech-Language Pathology at the University of Houston, invites applications for a nine-month, tenure-track Assistant Professor position beginning Fall 2027.
- Qualifications include: earned Ph.D. in Communication Sciences and Disorders or related field, potential for a strong record of research and scholarship, teaching experience, and a desire to contribute to a growing, innovative program. CCCs are strongly preferred.

- Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the positions are filled. (remove)
- Applications must include ... (remove)
- Questions regarding the application process or position may be directed to Dr. Amber Thiessen at althiess@central.uh.edu. (remove)
- Employees are expected to have a home address in the state of Texas for the duration of their appointments. (keep as requirement)
- Official transcripts are required for a faculty appointment and will be requested upon selection of the final candidates. (keep)
- All positions at the University of Houston-System are security sensitive and will require a criminal history check. (keep)
- Individuals conducting research in critical infrastructure areas (i.e., communication infrastructure systems, cybersecurity systems, electric grid, hazardous waste treatment systems, and/or water treatment facilities) are subject to regular review to ensure the security and integrity of the research is maintained. (maybe keep as requirement? It's a condition for certain research; could be kept.)
- The University of Houston System and its universities are Equal Opportunity Institutions. Everyone is encouraged to apply. (remove EEO boilerplate)
Now we need to decide what goes into each section.
About the role: Could combine the description paragraph plus university/department details, location, opportunities, student numbers, degrees offered, clinic. That's a lot of prose. Could be multiple paragraphs.
Responsibilities: list of duties.
Qualifications: list of qualifications (Ph.D., research potential, teaching experience, desire to contribute, CCCs preferred). Also maybe include areas of need? But areas of need are more about preferred expertise; could be part of Qualifications or Requirements. I'd put them under Qualifications as "Preferred areas of expertise include: ..." but the posting says "Areas of need include: ... though all strong applicants will be considered." That's more like desired expertise. Could be under Qualifications.
Requirements: could include home address in Texas, official transcripts, criminal history check, security sensitive, critical infrastructure research review (if applicable). Also maybe the nine-month tenure-track? But schedule is separate.
Schedule: nine-month appointment.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Already omitted.

We need to ensure we don't include any markdown fences. Just raw HTML.
