We need to remove boilerplate: legal/EEO, copyright, etc. Also remove navigation, duplicated lines, 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? Wait: "Remove ... application instructions." That means we should not include the list of required application materials? But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. However, the instruction says to remove application instructions. That seems contradictory: we need to preserve substantive info but remove application instructions. Likely they consider the list of required documents as "application instructions" which should be removed. But that is substantive info about what to submit. However, the instruction explicitly says remove application instructions. We must follow that. So we should omit the list: Cover letter, Curriculum vitae, Research Statement, Teaching Statement, Mentoring and Community Statement, Contact details for Recommendations. Also maybe the symposia dates? That's not application instructions but interview details; keep? Probably keep as part of process. The "For questions, please contact Nels Elde" is contact info; keep? Might be considered application instruction? It's contact for questions; maybe keep as part of "About the role" or separate? We'll keep as a paragraph.
We also need to remove duplicated lines, like the Quicklink repeated.
We need to decide sections.
We have content about role: description of position, areas of interest, values, mentorship, etc. Could be "About the role". Could also have "Responsibilities" maybe not explicit; but we can infer responsibilities: conducting research, teaching, mentoring, service. The posting mentions: "Applicants should demonstrate excellence in research with strong potential for securing and sustaining independent extramural funding." Also "Department and institution offer excellent facilities and resources." Not explicit responsibilities. Might be better to have sections: About the role, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, maybe Skills? The posting mentions "cutting-edge and scalable approaches", "technology development", etc. Could be skills.
We must not create sections with placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for salary: "competitive salary". That's specific enough? It says "competitive salary". That's not a number but it's a statement. Is that considered placeholder? It's not "commensurate with experience" but it's vague. 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. The posting states "competitive salary, generous startup package, active faculty mentoring, and a research environment that fosters growth and excellence." That's specific enough? It's not a number but it's a statement of benefits. So we can include Benefits section with those items. Pay section: they mention competitive salary but not a number; maybe we can include Pay section with "competitive salary". However, they said never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state competitive salary, so we can include Pay. But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". "competitive salary" is not filler per se but it's vague. I'd include Pay with that phrase.
Schedule: not mentioned. So no Schedule section.
Requirements: Ph.D. and/or M.D. or equivalent degrees. Also maybe "excellence in research with strong potential for securing and sustaining independent extramural funding." That's more qualification. Could be Requirements.
Qualifications: maybe similar. But we need to avoid duplication. We could have Requirements (Ph.D./M.D.) and Qualifications (research excellence, funding potential). Or combine.
Skills: maybe "cutting-edge and scalable approaches", "technology development", "functional genomics", etc. Could be Skills.
Benefits: competitive salary, generous startup package, active faculty mentoring, research environment fostering growth and excellence.
Also mention "University of Utah Health values candidates who are committed to fostering and furthering the culture of compassion, collaboration, innovation, accountability, acceptance, integrity, quality, and trust." That's values/culture; could be part of About the role.
Also mention "Veterans' preference is extended to qualified applicants, upon request and consistent with University policy and Utah state law." That's maybe a note; could be included in Requirements or a separate note but maybe not needed as it's boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's a preference; could be kept.
We must remove EEO boilerplate; but veterans preference is not EEO; it's a specific policy. Might keep.
We also need to remove duplicated lines and navigation.
