We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive information. We need to parse the posting. Key substantive parts: - Job Description: The University of Nevada, Las Vegas invites applications for Assistant Professor, Creative Writing [R0153593] (but we ignore job title and ID). Role of the position: Department of English at UNLV is searching for an Assistant Professor of Literary Nonfiction. This is a full-time, nine-month, tenure-track position beginning in fall 2027. Duties include teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, advising graduate students on thesis manuscripts and translation projects, and serving on departmental committees. Creative Writing at UNLV is a fully-funded graduate program that empowers students with one-on-one mentorship, global engagement through travel and translation, and the skills to navigate the publishing landscape. The successful candidate’s writing and teaching will demonstrate the literary excellence and activism to which our program is committed, while helping to lead the Literary Nonfiction program of the M.F.A. and Ph.D. with creative dissertation. - Profile of the Department: mission statement etc. Might be considered "About the role" or "About the department". Could be part of "About the role". We'll include a section "About the role" with description. - Background Screening: Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a pre-employment background screening. Could be part of Requirements? Might be a note but not a heading. We'll keep as prose under Requirements maybe. - Minimum Qualifications: This position requires an M.F.A., or Ph.D., in Creative Writing or related credentials from an accredited college or university as recognized by the United States Department of Education and/or the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) with at least one book in print or in press by a nationally recognized publisher.

So we should omit the "How To Apply" section entirely. Also remove "SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR INTERNAL NSHE CANDIDATES", "PROFILE of the UNIVERSITY", EEO/AA STATEMENT, TITLE IX STATEMENT, SAFETY AND SECURITY STATEMENT, JOB CATEGORY etc. Also remove "Required Attachment(s)" maybe considered application instructions? It's basically listing required attachments; that is part of application instructions. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should not include the list of required attachments. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; but the required attachments are part of application process. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should drop that. - Posting Close Date: 09/28/2027. That's a date; maybe we can include under a short paragraph? Not a heading. Could be included in a

maybe under "About the role" or separate? The instruction says do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include a short

with the closing date. - Note to Applicant: background check etc. Might be considered boilerplate? It's about background check; could be kept as part of Requirements? Might be considered substantive. We'll keep as a note under Requirements maybe. - Recruitments that provide a work schedule are subject to change based on organizational needs. That's generic; maybe drop. We need to decide sections. Potential sections: - About the role (or About the position): includes description of role, duties, department mission, start date, etc. - Responsibilities: could list duties (teaching, advising, serving on committees). Could be separate. - Requirements / Qualifications: Minimum qualifications, background screening, work authorization, diversity commitment. - Benefits: list of benefits and perks. - Pay: Salary competitive statement. - Schedule: maybe mention full-time, nine-month, tenure-track. Could be schedule. We need to avoid thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. Could combine some. We could have:

        Full-time, nine-month, tenure-track position beginning fall 2027. We also need to include posting close date maybe as a short

        somewhere, maybe under About the Role or separate small paragraph. We must not include headings with filler text. All sections have real content. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We can include them in a short paragraph if desired, but better to drop. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information: Did we miss any? Let's list all substantive info from posting: - Position: Assistant Professor, Creative Writing (Literary Nonfiction) - tenure-track, full-time, nine-month, start fall 2027. - Department: English at UNLV. - Duties: teaching undergraduate and graduate courses; advising graduate students on thesis manuscripts and translation projects; serving on departmental committees; helping to lead Literary Nonfiction program of M.F.A. and Ph.D. with creative dissertation. - Program description: fully-funded graduate program; one-on-one mentorship; global engagement through travel and translation; skills to navigate publishing landscape; literary excellence and activism. - Department mission statement: (the paragraph about Las Vegas, hyperreal, sustainable planet, etc.) - Background screening: employment contingent upon successful completion. - Minimum qualifications: M.F.A. or Ph.D. in Creative Writing or related credentials from accredited institution recognized by US Dept of Ed or CHEA; at least one book in print or in press by nationally recognized publisher; ABD considered; credentials before start date; authorized to work in US without sponsorship. - Commitment to diversity, equity, inclusiveness; contribute to respectful positive work environment; use Campus Values; demonstrate Rebel spirit. - Salary: competitive with similarly situated institutions. - Benefits: list as above. - Perks/Programs: list as above. - Posting close date: 09/28/2027. - Note to applicant: background check may be required; HR will verify academic credentials; if cannot verify, official transcript must be submitted within 30 days of first day; references contacted at appropriate phase; as part of hiring process, applicants may need to demonstrate ability to perform job-related tasks; for positions requiring driving, evidence of valid driver's license required at time of employment and as condition of continued employment; all documents must be received on or before closing date; recruitments that provide a work schedule are subject to change based on organizational needs. Some of that is procedural/application instructions; we are to remove application instructions. The note about background check verification, transcript requirement, references, driver's license, etc. Might be considered part of application process; but some are substantive (background check, transcript requirement). However the instruction says remove application instructions. The note about background check verification is part of hiring process, not strictly application. But it's still about process. Might be considered boilerplate? It's specific to this position. However the instruction says "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should drop the note to applicant as it's application instructions. Also drop "Posting Close Date"? That's metadata but could be kept as short paragraph. The instruction says "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

        or drop it." So we can include the close date in a short

        . We'll include it maybe under About the Role. We also need to drop "Required Attachment(s)" etc. We also need to drop "How To Apply", "SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR INTERNAL NSHE CANDIDATES", "PROFILE of the UNIVERSITY", EEO/AA STATEMENT, TITLE IX STATEMENT, SAFETY AND SECURITY STATEMENT, JOB CATEGORY, etc. Now we need to ensure we keep all substantive info: The description of the role, duties, department mission, qualifications, salary, benefits, perks, schedule, close date. We also need to keep the commitment to diversity and campus values (that's substantive). Also background screening (employment contingent upon successful completion) - that's substantive. Now let's craft HTML. We'll start with

        About the Role

        then a

        containing description: position details, start date, department, mission statement, program description, background screening note. Then

        Responsibilities

        with
        • ... etc. Then

          Qualifications

          with
          • ... etc. Then
