Assistant Professor in Insect Ecology

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

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 as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented or summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Disclaimer" etc? The disclaimer about benefits eligibility maybe part of benefits? It's not boilerplate? It's about eligibility; maybe keep as part of benefits? It's not EEO. It's about benefits eligibility; could be kept. But we need to remove EEO statements. Also remove "Final candidates are subject to criminal & sex offender background checks." etc. Also remove "Recruitment Dates and Special Instructions" maybe not needed? It's metadata; we can drop or fold into short p. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph with posting number, job open date, anticipated close date maybe. But we should not create sections for those unless they have real content. Probably better to drop them or include a brief

at top. We need sections: About the role (maybe from "About The Department"? Actually "About The Department" is about department, not role. But we have "About The Department" content. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings. "About the role" could be the description of the position: nine-month tenure-track Assistant Professor position etc. We'll put that under

About the role

. Then Responsibilities: we have "Essential Job Duties" and "Key Responsibilities". We'll combine under Responsibilities. Requirements: maybe "Minimum Education and Experience" and "Other Required Qualifications". Qualifications: maybe "Preferred Qualifications". Skills: maybe not explicit; we could omit if no specific skills listed besides those in qualifications. Benefits: we have "Wolfpack Perks And Benefits" list. Pay: we have "Anticipated Hiring Range Commensurate with education and experience." That's vague; we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "Commensurate with education and experience." That's not specific; we should not create Pay section because it's filler. Schedule: we have "Work Schedule Core Business Hours (Monday - Friday; 8:00 am - 5:00 pm) schedule will vary based on teaching and research needs." That's specific enough? It states core hours and variable. That's real content, so we can include Schedule section. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". So skip Pay. We need to preserve all substantive info; we must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the details from the posting: department description, role description, responsibilities, qualifications, preferred qualifications, benefits list, work schedule. We must not include EEO boilerplate, disclaimer about eligibility? The disclaimer about benefits eligibility is part of benefits; we could keep it but it's not boilerplate; it's about eligibility. Might be okay to keep. However the instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The disclaimer about benefits eligibility is not EEO; it's about benefits eligibility. Could keep. We also need to remove duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat. Let's extract content.

Work Schedule Core Business Hours (Monday - Friday; 8:00 am - 5:00 pm) schedule will vary based on teaching and research needs. Job Location Raleigh, NC Department Entomology and Plant Pathology We can include a short paragraph with posting number, location, etc. About The Department: long paragraph about department. About the role: The Department invites applications for a nine-month, tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Insect Ecology with 60% effort in teaching and mentoring and 40% effort in research and discovery. We seek a dynamic scholar committed to excellence in undergraduate and graduate education, student engagement, and innovative teaching, alongside development of an active, externally funded research program. The Assistant Professor will play a central role in the department’s undergraduate curriculum, including instruction of ENT 201: Insects and People , a high-enrollment course serving approximately 140 students in an in-person spring section and virtual sections offered in spring and fall.

Also disclaimer about eligibility. We need to output as
  • for each benefit. Schedule: Work Schedule Core Business Hours (Monday - Friday; 8:00 am - 5:00 pm) schedule will vary based on teaching and research needs. We should not include "Anticipated Hiring Range Commensurate with education and experience." as Pay section. We should not include Recruitment Dates etc. We should not include EEO paragraph. We should not include "Final candidates are subject to criminal & sex offender background checks." etc. We should not include "Position Details" etc. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive info; we must not omit any of the content we decide to keep. Let's list all substantive info we will keep: - Posting number? Might be considered minor metadata; we can fold into short p or drop. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we can include a short p with posting number, job location, department maybe. But we already have department in About the Department. Could include posting number and location in a p. - Working Title: Assistant Professor in Insect Ecology (but we cannot repeat job title as heading; we can mention it in paragraph). - Anticipated Hiring Range: Commensurate with education and experience (we will not create Pay section; we could mention it in a p under About the role? But it's basically filler; maybe we can drop it as it's not specific. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Since Pay is not stated specifically, we should not create Pay section. We can still mention the hiring range in a paragraph if we want, but it's filler; better to drop it to avoid summarizing away detail? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. "Commensurate with education and experience" is substantive? It's a statement about hiring range; it's not specific but it's still info. If we drop it, we are summarizing away detail. So we should keep it somewhere, maybe in a short p under About the role or a separate p. But we must not create a Pay heading. So we can include a paragraph like "

    Anticipated hiring range: commensurate with education and experience.

    " That's okay. - Work Schedule: we will include Schedule section. - Job Location Raleigh, NC: we can include in short p. - Department Entomology and Plant Pathology: we have About The Department. - About The Department content: we will include under About the role? Actually About the role is separate; we could have About the department under About the role? But the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. So we need to map content accordingly. The About the department is not exactly about the role but it's about the department. Could we put it under About the role? Might be okay as it's contextual. Or we could create a separate heading like "About the Department" but not in allowed list. The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive? It says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect only those headings. So we should fit department info under About the role or maybe under Responsibilities? Probably About the role can include description of the role and department context. We'll include a paragraph about the department within About the role. Thus About the role section will contain: description of the position, department overview, hiring range, location, etc. Now Responsibilities: we need to include all bullet points from Essential Job Duties and Key Responsibilities and Other Responsibilities. Let's extract bullet points: From Essential Job Duties paragraph: It's prose, not bullet list. Then Key Responsibilities: has headings Teaching and Mentoring:, Research and Discovery:, Service and Engagement: each with bullet-like sentences separated by periods. We can treat each sentence as a bullet. Teaching and Mentoring: - Lead instruction for ENT 201: Insects and People , including in-person and distance-education formats, and teach additional undergraduate and graduate courses aligned with expertise and departmental needs. - Develop and use innovative, accessible, and technology-enhanced instructional approaches while contributing to curriculum development, assessment, and continuous improvement. - Mentor undergraduate, M.S., and Ph.D. students through research, experiential learning, and career development. - Support student recruitment, retention, and success while contributing to departmental teaching initiatives. Research and Discovery: - Develop and sustain an externally funded research program in insect ecology that complements and strengthens departmental expertise. - Conduct impactful research that may integrate field-based ecological studies with molecular, computational, spatial, or other data-driven approaches, and maintain a strong record of peer-reviewed publications and scholarly productivity. - Engage undergraduate and graduate students in research, providing meaningful training and mentorship. - Collaborate with departmental, university, and external partners to advance research, teaching, and outreach goals. Service and Engagement: - Contribute to departmental, college, university, and professional service through committee participation, faculty governance, scientific societies, and manuscript and grant review. - Foster interdisciplinary collaborations and contribute to a collegial and productive
