Assistant Professor - English

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each section heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive information. Include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". No Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes benefits info: "Your benefits add an additional 40%+ to the overall financial package..." So we can include Benefits section. Pay: not specified. So no Pay section. Schedule: maybe mention 9-month tenure-track faculty position, start date 8/23/2027. That's schedule info? Could be considered schedule (9-month). The posting says "two 9-month tenure-track faculty position". That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that detail. Also maybe mention "Under general supervision..." etc. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe overview), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (maybe required qualifications), Qualifications (preferred?), Skills (maybe specific skills like professional & technical writing, digital content, emerging writing technologies). Benefits (as given). Schedule (9-month, start date). Possibly also "Application deadlines" but that's not in allowed headings; we could fold into About the role or maybe not include as separate heading because not in list. The instruction: "Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying we can use those headings but not required to use all. We should include only those with substantive content. We need to preserve all substantive information: position title, department, number of positions, start date, expertise areas, teaching duties, scholarship, service, college description, review date, interview process, required qualifications, preferred qualifications, application materials, contact info, special notes (maybe not needed?), confidentiality, CBC & reference check, annual security report (maybe boilerplate legal, can remove), benefits info, equal opportunity statement (boilerplate, remove). Also "Current Employees: If you are currently employed..." that's internal instruction, maybe not needed? It's not boilerplate but maybe considered application instructions; we should remove application instructions. The instruction says: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove application instructions like "How To Apply", "Contact Information", "Special Notes", "Confidentiality of Applicant Materials", "CBC & Reference Check Policy", "Annual Security and Fire Safety Report", "Information about your benefits" maybe part of benefits but we can keep benefits. Actually "Information about your benefits" is part of benefits; we can keep that but remove the rest like "Current Employees..." etc. We need to preserve all substantive information: so we need to include details about position, duties, responsibilities, qualifications, etc. We'll embed them in appropriate sections. Let's outline: - About the role: brief paragraph summarizing the position: two 9-month tenure-track Assistant Professor positions in English, start date 8/23/2027, focus on Writing Studies with emphasis in professional & technical writing, digital content & user experience, emerging writing technologies.

Could also include "Under general supervision of the department chair" but that's more about supervision. - Requirements: Required Qualifications: Doctorate in Writing Studies or related field, degree must be earned by end of first academic year, evidence of ability to be effective instructor, evidence of clear and effective communication skills. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications: One term or more experience teaching professional & technical writing, one term or more experience teaching digital content writing and/or user experience, one term or more experience teaching emerging writing technologies, one term or more experience teaching grant writing. - Skills: maybe list specific skills: professional & technical writing, digital content & user experience, emerging writing technologies, grant writing, effective instruction, communication. But we might combine Skills with Qualifications. However we need to decide if we have enough content for Skills section. Could list skills derived from preferred qualifications and responsibilities. - Benefits: paragraph about benefits adding 40%+, paid vacation for 12-month positions, excellent flexible health insurance, paid holidays, paid sick days, vesting after 5 years, competitive, pro-rated. - Schedule: mention 9-month tenure-track, start date 8/23/2027. We should not include Pay section. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to avoid duplication. We'll produce HTML fragment:
