We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: 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. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Position: tenure-track assistant professor, start Fall 2027. - Program details: PhD APA accredited, NASP approved EdS, will be five full-time faculty (four tenure-track, one career). - Seeking candidates with focused research agenda in any substantive area of school psychology, especially applied research in academic or behavioral interventions, school-based mental health, curriculum-based measurements, experience in research and practices emphasizing equity/inclusion, applied research with children who have neurodevelopment disabilities. - Strong teaching skills, commitment to professional orgs state/national, interest in collaborating. - Dedicated to belonging, value unique contributions, encourage applications from candidates committed to supporting belonging. - Qualifications and Responsibilities section: Invite applications from individuals with record of potential excellence in research, teaching, mentorship of Specialist and Doctoral-level graduate students. Applicants should have defined program of research and potential for obtaining external funding. Expected teaching load: two courses per semester, particular need for instruction in assessment (academic and behavioral) and school-based mental health. Additional opportunities for teaching courses related to areas of interest. - Required Qualifications: doctoral degree from a school psychology program approved by APA; record of or potential for excellence in research, teaching and mentorship; eligibility for licensure as a psychologist in Utah. - Preferred Qualifications: licensed as psychologist—or eligible for psychologist licensure—in Utah; credentialed as NCSP; credentialed as BCBA, supporting supervision of graduate students; experience practicing as school psychologist in school-based setting; experience teaching graduate-level courses; experience conducting externally funded research; experience providing effective school psychological services to students from diverse backgrounds and communities across Utah. - Responsibilities Of The Position Will Include: list items (Develop and sustain a program of scholarly research..., Design, teach, and coordinate core courses..., Participate and provide leadership..., Advise and supervise graduate student research, Serve as organizer..., Provide appropriate levels of service...). - Location: University of Utah in foothills of Wasatch mountains in Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City metro area ~1M residents, extensive arts and cultural activities, recognized for new light rail, foodie culture, downtown renewal, exceptional access to outdoor recreation, diversity. - Appointment: July 1, 2027 - Salary: Salary is commensurate with rank (this is vague, "commensurate with rank" - we should NOT include Pay section if it's just "commensurate with experience" etc. The rule: 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. Here salary is "commensurate with rank" which is similar to "commensurate with experience". Likely considered placeholder, so we should NOT include Pay section. - Submission of Materials: Screening begins Oct 15, 2026 and will continue until filled. Application materials: cover letter, CV, samples of three scholarly publications, names/contact info for three referees. Application portal link. Inquiries to Kate Helbig (email). Additional info links. - Additional statements about veterans preference, reasonable accommodations, non-discrimination etc. Those are boilerplate EEO etc; we should remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The instructions about how to apply, submission details 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 the application instructions (like "Submit materials through portal", etc). However we need to preserve substantive information. The application instructions are considered boilerplate? Probably yes. So we should omit the "Submission of Materials for Consideration:" etc. But we might keep the deadline? That's part of application instructions. Likely remove. - Also remove the links? Might be considered part of application instructions. Safer to remove them. - Keep substantive info: position description, program details, qualifications, responsibilities, location, appointment date. - Also maybe keep "Appointment: July 1, 2027" as a detail; could be placed under a section like "About the role" or its own? We have headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide where each piece fits. - "About the role": could include overview: tenure-track assistant professor, start Fall 2027, program details, location, appointment date. - "Responsibilities": list of responsibilities from "Responsibilities Of The Position Will Include". - "Requirements": maybe required qualifications. - "Qualifications": maybe preferred qualifications? Or we could combine required and preferred under Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings as given. We have both Requirements and Qualifications headings. Likely Requirements = required qualifications, Qualifications = preferred qualifications or additional qualifications. We'll assign accordingly. - "Skills": maybe teaching skills, research skills, etc. Could extract from preferred qualifications: experience teaching graduate-level courses, experience conducting externally funded research, experience providing services to diverse backgrounds, etc. Also commitment to professional orgs, collaboration. Could put under Skills. - "Benefits": not mentioned; omit. - "Pay": omit due to placeholder. - "Schedule": maybe teaching load two courses per semester; could be considered schedule. But rule: only create Schedule section if posting actually states them. It does state expected teaching load two courses per semester. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that detail. - Also maybe include "Appointment: July 1, 2027" under About the role or Schedule? Probably About the role. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

Schedule: expected teaching load two courses per semester, with particular need for instruction in assessment (academic and behavioral) as well as school-based mental health. Additional opportunities exist for teaching courses related to areas of interest. We'll put that. Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO, veterans preference, etc. Also remove application instructions: we omitted. Now produce HTML. Make sure to use

for each section heading. Use
  • for lists. Use

    for prose. We'll need to escape any HTML special characters? Not needed. Let's craft. About the role paragraph(s) could be multiple

    but we can combine into one

    with sentences. We'll produce:
