We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; can fold minor metadata into short

Posted by the FREE value-added recruitment advertising agency je-2ef9d28bbe0949e6ae7cfe4e8c1dd645 We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, scam warning, copyright, navigation, etc. Also 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 Process details? It says remove application instructions. So we should not include the bullet list about cover letter, CV, etc. Also remove the "To apply, visit ..." link. Also remove the department metadata lines? They said "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 location, department, track, etc. But we need to preserve all substantive information. The location (Salt Lake City, UT) is substantive. The department (Civil and Environmental Engineering) is substantive. The track (Non Tenure Track) maybe. The start date (August 2027) is substantive. The position level (Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor (Lecturer)) is substantive. The fact that it's full-time, non-tenure-track faculty member is substantive. We need to decide sections. Potential sections: - About the role: could include overview: full-time non-tenure-track faculty, focus on nuclear engineering, start date, level, department, location. - Responsibilities: list of duties: teaching nuclear engineering courses (undergrad/grad) topics, optionally teaching core CEE courses, helping update curriculum, advising/mentoring students, participating in service/outreach/workforce development. - Requirements: Ph.D. in nuclear engineering or closely related field by start date; strong communication skills; passion for teaching; commitment to student success; optionally ability to teach core CEE courses (viewed favorably). Also maybe experience working with students, commitment to improving access to higher education (but that's more of a value). Might be under Requirements or Skills. - Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? Could combine. - Skills: strong communication skills, passion for teaching, commitment to student success, ability to teach nuclear engineering topics, optionally core CEE courses. - Benefits: maybe mention extensive campus and industry partnerships, access to Nanofab, TRIGA reactor, collaborative culture, department size, etc. Also mention university rankings, location perks (outdoor recreation, cultural opportunities, entrepreneurial scene). Those could be Benefits. - Pay: not mentioned; do not include. - Schedule: not mentioned; do not include. We must not create sections with placeholder text. So only include sections where we have real content. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading like "Faculty Member". Use sections as described. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. We could include a short paragraph at top with location, department, track, start date, etc. Or we could embed that in About the role. Let's craft. First, maybe a short introductory paragraph: "The John and Marcia Price College of Engineering at the University of Utah is hiring a full-time, non-tenure-track faculty member in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CVEEN), focused on Nuclear Engineering. The position is open at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor (Lecturer) level and will begin in August 2027. Located in Salt Lake City, UT." Then sections:

    About the role

    maybe we already gave overview; but we could still have About the role summarizing the mission: advancing Nuclear Engineering Program, supporting teaching mission, etc. Better: About the role: description of role, focus, program details. Responsibilities: list. Requirements: list (Ph.D., communication skills, passion, commitment, optionally core CEE teaching). Skills: maybe list of skills (communication, teaching passion, student success commitment, nuclear engineering expertise, optionally core CEE). Benefits: list (access to TRIGA reactor, Nanofab, partnerships, collaborative department, university rankings, location perks). We must ensure not to duplicate content. Let's extract substantive content for each. About the role: - Full-time, non-tenure-track faculty member in Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CVEEN), focused on Nuclear Engineering. - Position open at Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor (Lecturer) level. - Start date August 2027. - Located in Salt Lake City, UT (University of Utah). - Role: outstanding educator specializing in nuclear engineering to advance Nuclear Engineering Program (UNEP) and support teaching mission. - The Nuclear Engineering Program offers minors, M.S., Ph.D. degrees, features a 100 kW NRC-licensed TRIGA reactor and state-of-the-art training facilities. - Faculty enjoy extensive campus and industry partnerships, including access to Nanofab materials characterization center. - Department has 22 tenure-track faculty, five dedicated lecturers, collaborative teaching and research culture. - University of Utah is a nationally recognized R1 institution in the Big 12 Conference, #1 Public University in the West (Wall Street Journal, 2024), located in Salt Lake City regularly ranked among America's best places to live (US News & World Report, 2026). Salt Lake City offers exceptional outdoor recreation, cultural opportunities, thriving entrepreneurial scene. That's a lot; could be split between About the role and Benefits. Responsibilities: - Teaching nuclear engineering courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels, including topics: nuclear fundamentals, reactor theory, radiation detection, fuel cycles, thermal-hydraulics. - (Optionally) teaching core Civil and Environmental Engineering courses such as statics, hydraulics, strength of materials. - Helping update and improve the nuclear engineering curriculum. - Advising and mentoring students. - Participating in departmental, college, and university service, including outreach and workforce development to grow Nuclear Engineering at the University of Utah.

Skills: - Strong communication skills. - Passion for teaching. - Commitment to student success. - Expertise in nuclear engineering topics (fundamentals, reactor theory, radiation detection, fuel cycles, thermal-hydraulics). - Ability to teach core Civil and Environmental Engineering courses (statics, hydraulics, strength of materials) – viewed favorably. - Ability to advise/mentor students. - Ability to participate in service/outreach/workforce development.
