Assistant Professor of Animal ...
for sections: 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 like EEO, navigation, legal, application instructions, etc. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- Position Title: Assistant Professor of Animal Reproduction (not used as heading)
- Salary: Competitive (but we only include Pay section if posting actually states them. It says "Salary and benefits are competitive and based on qualifications and experience." That's vague; not a specific number. The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It says "Salary and benefits are competitive and based on qualifications and experience." That's not a specific figure; it's generic. Should we include Pay? The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state that salary and benefits are competitive, but not specifics. Likely we should not include Pay/Benefits/Schedule because they are not specific. However "Benefits" maybe we could include if they list specific benefits: "Retirement and long-term disability, medical, dental and life insurance programs are available to employees." That's specific benefits. So we can include a Benefits section with that list. Pay: only says competitive based on qualifications; not specific; maybe we should omit Pay section. Schedule: not mentioned; maybe we can infer full-time, 11-month position. It says "This position is an 11-month tenure-track position". That's schedule info (11-month). Could we include Schedule? It states it's an 11-month position. That's specific. So we could include Schedule section with "11-month tenure-track position". However the rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state schedule (11-month). So we can include Schedule.
Now sections:
- About the role: maybe we can use the Position Description paragraph as About the role. The posting includes "Position Description___________________________________________________________________" then description. So we can put that under About the role.
- Responsibilities: The description includes list of expected duties (a) through (f). Those are responsibilities. Could also be under Responsibilities.
- Requirements: Qualifications section includes requirements: Ph.D., documented interest, experience, knowledge, commitment, etc. Also preferences.
- Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? But we need to decide. The posting has "Qualifications________________________________________________________________________". Then "Requirements include a Ph.D...". Then preferences. So we can treat that as Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe we can extract preferred skills: excellent written and oral communications skills, excellent interpersonal skills, ability to work in teams and assume leadership roles. Could be under Skills.
- Benefits: we have specific benefits list.
- Pay: maybe omit because not specific.
- Schedule: we have 11-month tenure-track.
We need to avoid duplication. Ensure we preserve all substantive info.
Let's extract substantive info:
From Position Description:
"The successful candidate will develop and lead a nationally recognized, impactful Extension program addressing reproductive management challenges in livestock production systems, while establishing an externally funded, applied research program that informs and complements Extension programming. This person is expected to (a) deliver programming through county educator trainings, workshops, field days, hands-on trainings, webinars, and one-on-one producer consultations; (b) develop peer-reviewed educational resources such as Extension publications, fact sheets, decision-support tools, and digital and social media content to disseminate to county educators, producers, agribusiness professionals, and allied industry stakeholders; (c) build and maintain strong working relationships with county/regional Extension educators, producer organizations, breed and livestock associations, and agricultural industry partners; (d) establish an innovative, applied research program in animal reproduction that addresses priority challenges of the state's livestock industries and complements Extension programming; and (e) publish research findings in appropriate scientific journals, and (f) secure extramural funding from industry, federal agencies, or other granting sources, to support Extension programming efforts, research activities, and graduate student training."
That's responsibilities.
From Qualifications/Requirements:
"Requirements include a Ph.D. in Animal Science or a closely related field. Documented interest, experience and appreciation of production agriculture are required, along with a demonstrated knowledge of livestock reproductive physiology and management. Applicants must be committed to both Extension and research and qualify for appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor. Preference will be given to individuals with excellent written and oral communications skills, excellent interpersonal skills, and the ability to work in teams and assume leadership roles."
That's qualifications and preferred skills.
From Employment Conditions:
"This position is to be filled by January 1, 2027, or as soon as a suitable candidate is identified. The position is an 11-month tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor. Salary and benefits are competitive and based on qualifications and experience. Retirement and long-term disability, medical, dental and life insurance programs are available to employees. Continuation of this position is subject to performance, needs, and available funding."
We can extract schedule: 11-month tenure-track position. Also maybe start date Jan 1, 2027. That's schedule info.
Benefits: Retirement and long-term disability, medical, dental and life insurance programs are available to employees.
About the Department: we have description of department. Could be a section "About the Department" but not in allowed headings list. Allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not include About the Department. However we could incorporate that info into About the role? Probably not. The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples; we can use those headings. It didn't say we cannot use other headings, but likely we should stick to those. The department info may be considered "About the role"? Not really. Might be considered extra but we could omit as not required headings. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. If we omit department info, we lose substantive info. But maybe we can include it under About the role as a paragraph? The About the role could include description of the department? The role is within the department; but the department description is not about the role. However we could include it as a separate section with a heading not in the list? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "use for section headings (e.g. ...)". Likely they expect us to use those headings only. But we must preserve all substantive info; we could embed department info in a paragraph under About the role or maybe under Responsibilities? Not ideal.
Maybe we can treat "About the Department" as "About the role" because it's about the role's context. But that seems a stretch.
Alternatively, we could create a section with heading About the Department
even though not in the list; the instruction says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not an exhaustive list. So we can use other headings as long as they are . Probably acceptable. To be safe, we could include About the Department as a heading.
But the instruction also says: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we might combine department info into About the role.
Let's see: The About the role could include both the role description and department overview. That would be substantive.
Thus we will have sections:
- About the role (includes position description and department overview)
- Responsibilities (list of duties)
- Requirements (maybe combine with Qualifications? But we have both Requirements and Qualifications; we could have Requirements section for mandatory qualifications, and Qualifications section for preferred? But we have only one Qualifications heading allowed. Could merge.
Better: Use Requirements for mandatory qualifications (Ph.D., etc.) and Skills for preferred skills (communication, interpersonal, teamwork). Qualifications could be used for the same as Requirements? But we need to avoid duplication.
We could have:
- About the role (position description + department)
- Responsibilities (duties a-f)
- Requirements (Ph.D., documented interest, experience, knowledge, commitment)
- Skills (excellent written/oral communication, interpersonal, teamwork/leadership)
- Benefits (retirement, long-term disability, medical, dental, life insurance)
- Schedule (11-month tenure-track, start date Jan 1, 2027)
We should not include Pay because not specific.
Now we need to format lists with - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose, use

Then Schedule

We need to ensure we preserve all substantive info: we missed the sentence "Salary and benefits are competitive and based on qualifications and experience." We omitted Pay; we included Benefits but not the competitive salary statement. Since we omitted Pay, we lose that statement. Could we include a brief note under Benefits? The statement is about salary and benefits being competitive. Could add a sentence in Benefits section: "Salary and benefits are competitive and based on qualifications and experience." That is substantive. So we can add a under Benefits.
Also we missed "Continuation of this position is subject to performance, needs, and available funding." That's substantive; we could add to Schedule or Benefits? Probably schedule/employment conditions. Could add a
under Schedule: "Continuation of this position is subject to performance, needs, and available funding."
Also we missed "This position is to be filled by January 1, 2027, or as soon as a suitable candidate is identified." Already captured start date.
Also we missed "The position is an 11-month tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor." Already captured.
Also we missed "The Department of Animal and Food Sciences has over 1230 undergraduate students, 48 M.S. and Ph.D. students, and 33 faculty. The department is home to nine undergraduate student organizations and seven competitive undergraduate judging teams. The department operates nine farm and ranch units with high-quality livestock encompassing over 12,000 acres."
