Assistant Professor - Digital Media

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive information. We need to parse the job description. Key content: - Job Description: Department of Humanities, Arts, & Film (HAF) at USF seeks to fill a 9-month, full-time, tenure-earning position for an Assistant Professor of Digital Media Arts. Expected start date is August 7, 2027. Salary is negotiable. - Then description of USF: top-ranked research university, etc. This is about the university, maybe "About Us" or "About USF". Could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is for description of the position. The description includes details about the role: 9-month, full-time, tenure-earning, Assistant Professor of Digital Media Arts, start date, salary negotiable. Also maybe mention of department. - Responsibilities: teach interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate courses and advise MA student thesis projects. - Qualifications: Ph.D. in film studies, media studies, cultural studies, communication, or another related field from an accredited institution required. Must meet university criteria for appointment to rank of Assistant Professor. Preferred areas of expertise include digital art and aesthetics, video art and animation, and the social and cultural histories of film and video production, distribution, exhibition, and reception across narrative and non-narrative as well as theatrical and non-theatrical domains. - Application instructions: When applying, please attach: Cover letter, CV, Names and contact information for three (3) references. At later stages, sample syllabi. Applications due November 2, 2026. Conclusion of this search is subject to final budget approval. According to Florida Law, applications and meetings regarding them are open to the public. USF is an Equal Opportunity/Equal Access Institution. For disability accommodations, contact Meredith Donovan by email, cas-hcs@usf.edu, or phone, (813) 974-9380. - About Us: Working at USF with approx 16,000 employees, etc. Benefits package includes medical, dental and life insurance plans, retirement plan options, employee and dependent tuition programs, generous leave, and hundreds of employee perks and discounts. - About USF: repeated info about university. - Compliance and Federal Notices: background check, equal opportunity, FMLA, etc. These are boilerplate legal; we should remove. We need to include sections only when there is real specific content. So we need sections: About the role (maybe combine description of position), Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe also Requirements?), Benefits (since benefits described), maybe Pay (salary negotiable) - we have salary info: "Salary is negotiable." That's specific enough? It says salary is negotiable, not a number but it's still content. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state salary is negotiable, so we can include Pay section with that sentence. Schedule: we have "9-month, full-time". That's schedule info (duration and full-time). So we can include Schedule section with that. Benefits: we have description of benefits package. So include Benefits. Qualifications: we have Ph.D. required, preferred areas. Also "Must meet university criteria for appointment to the rank of Assistant Professor." That's qualification. Requirements: maybe similar to qualifications but we can combine? The instruction says use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, etc. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have qualifications content. We could put that under Qualifications. Requirements maybe not needed if we don't have separate requirement list besides qualifications. Could omit Requirements heading if no specific content beyond qualifications. But we could treat the Ph.D. requirement as a requirement. However we have both qualifications and maybe requirements overlapping. Safer to include Qualifications only, and maybe not Requirements. Skills: not explicitly listed; we have preferred areas of expertise (digital art and aesthetics, video art and animation, etc.) which could be considered skills or expertise. Could put under Skills. But we already have Qualifications covering preferred areas. Might be redundant. Better to keep Qualifications and maybe not Skills. About the role: we have description of position (9-month, full-time, tenure-earning, Assistant Professor of Digital Media Arts, start date, salary negotiable). Also department info. So we can put that. Responsibilities: teaching and advising. Benefits: medical, dental, life insurance, retirement, tuition programs, leave, perks. Pay: salary negotiable. Schedule: 9-month, full-time. We also have start date (August 7, 2027) - could be part of About the role or Schedule? Probably About the role. We need to preserve all substantive information. So include start date, department, tenure-earning, etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal notices, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove "About Us" and "About USF" duplicated? We have two similar paragraphs about USF; we should keep the substantive info about the university (size, rankings, AAU, research funding, economic impact, athletics). But we need to decide where to put that. Could be part of "About the role" or maybe a separate "About USF" but we only allowed headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No "About USF". So we should incorporate university info into About the role section? The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should use those headings only? It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect us to use those headings exactly as needed. So we should not create other headings like "About USF". So we need to fit university info under one of those allowed headings. Probably "About the role" can include description of the role and also info about the university as context. That seems acceptable. Thus About the role will contain: Department of Humanities, Arts, & Film (HAF) at USF seeks to fill a 9-month, full-time, tenure-earning position for an Assistant Professor of Digital Media Arts. Expected start date August 7, 2027. Salary is negotiable. Then we can add info about USF: top-ranked research university, approx 50,000 students, campuses, rankings, AAU membership, research funding, patents, economic impact, athletics. Ensure we don't repeat duplicated lines; we have two similar paragraphs about USF with slight differences (numbers). We need to preserve ALL substantive information; we must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include both sets of info? They are similar but with different numbers: first paragraph says $750 million research funding in 2025, economic impact nearly $10 billion, athletics in American Conference. Second paragraph says $738 million research funding in 2024, economic impact more than $6 billion, athletics in American Athletic Conference. Both are substantive; we should include both, but avoid duplication of identical sentences. They are not identical; they differ in years and numbers. So we should include both, maybe combine but preserve both sets. However we must not repeat duplicated lines; there may be overlapping sentences like "USF is a member of the Association of American Universities (AAU), a group that includes only the top 3% of universities in the U.S." appears in both. That is duplicated; we should include it only once. Also "Learn more at www.usf.edu" appears twice; include once. Also "USF is a top-ranked research university serving approximately 50,000 students from across the globe at campuses in Tampa, St. Petersburg and USF Health." vs later "serving approximately 50,000 students from across the globe at campuses in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota-Manatee and USF Health." Slight difference: first mentions Tampa, St. Petersburg and USF Health; second adds Sarasota-Manatee. Both are substantive; we should include both but avoid repeating identical phrasing. We can combine to mention campuses: Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota-Manatee, and USF Health. That captures both. However we must not invent or summarize away detail; summarizing campuses list is okay as it's not inventing; it's merging. But we need to be careful not to lose any detail: the first didn't mention Sarasota-Manatee; second did. So including Sarasota-Manatee adds detail not in first; that's fine. The first didn't mention Sarasota-Manatee, but adding it is not inventing; it's from second. So we can include all four campuses. Similarly research funding: first says $750 million in 2025; second says $738 million in 2024. Both are different years and amounts; we should include both. Economic impact: first says nearly $10 billion; second says more than $6 billion. Include both. Athletics: first says Division I athletics teams compete in the American Conference. Second says American Athletic Conference. Likely same; we can mention American Athletic Conference (the current name). The first may be outdated; but we can include both? Might be duplicate. We'll include American Athletic Conference. Rankings: first: top 50 public university for seventh consecutive year, top 15 best values among public universities, USF Health Morsani College of Medicine top 16 medical schools, top 10 among public. Second: top 50 public university and best value in Florida, USF Health Morsani College of Medicine No. 1 medical school in Florida and highest tier nationwide. We need to include both sets without duplication. We'll combine. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal notices, compliance, etc. Now Benefits: we have "Our first-class benefits package includes medical, dental and life insurance plans, retirement plan options, employee and dependent tuition programs, generous leave, and hundreds of employee perks and discounts." Also earlier: "Our first-class benefits package includes medical, dental and life insurance plans, retirement plan options, employee and dependent tuition programs, generous leave, and hundreds of employee perks and discounts." That's duplicated; include once. Pay: "Salary is negotiable." Schedule: "9-month, full-time". Also maybe mention tenure-earning? That's more about role type; could be in About the role. Responsibilities: "The faculty member will teach interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate courses and advise MA student thesis projects." Qualifications: "A Ph.D. in film studies, media studies, cultural studies, communication, or another related field from an accredited institution is required. Must meet university criteria for appointment to the rank of Assistant Professor. Preferred areas of expertise include digital art and aesthetics, video art and animation, and the social and cultural histories of film and video production, distribution, exhibition, and reception across narrative and non-narrative as well as theatrical and non-theatrical domains." We could also include "When applying, please attach the following: Cover letter CV Names and contact information for three (3) references At later stages of the review process candidates will be asked for additional materials, including sample syllabi.
