Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting: It's a job ad for Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at SDSU.
We need to extract sections: About the role (description), Responsibilities (maybe teaching, research, service), Requirements (qualifications), Qualifications (maybe required and preferred), Skills (maybe AI expertise), Benefits (benefits package), Pay (salary range), Schedule (maybe full-time). The posting includes: description of role, qualifications required by date of application, required qualifications by date of hire, preferred qualifications, application instructions (but we must remove application instructions), salary info, benefits info, etc. Also includes location, work type, etc. We should not repeat job title as heading. We can include a short
for metadata like location, work type, etc.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines (the posting repeats some paragraphs). Also remove application instructions (cover letter, CV, etc). Also remove "Apply via PageUp by October 22, 2026." That's application instruction; we should remove. Also remove "The minimum salary for this position is based on the current CSU salary schedule..." but we can keep salary range info as Pay section. Also "San Diego State University offers a rich benefits package..." we can keep Benefits section.
We need to decide which sections to include. Likely: About the role (description), Responsibilities (maybe derived from description: teaching, research, service), Requirements (required qualifications), Qualifications (maybe preferred qualifications), Skills (AI expertise), Benefits, Pay. Schedule maybe not needed unless explicitly stated; posting says Work type: Instructional Faculty – Tenured/Tenure-Track, Full Time. That's schedule info (full-time). Could include Schedule section with "Full-time". But we need to avoid filler. It's specific: Full Time. So we can include Schedule section with that.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have
Assistant Professor... We'll have headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to ensure we only include sections where there is real specific content. Let's extract content.
About the role: The description paragraph: "The San Diego State University Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry seeks to hire a tenure-track assistant professor with expertise in AI-enabled Chemical Discovery, broadly defined. We seek candidates employing cutting-edge interdisciplinary approaches developing artificial intelligence applications for chemical questions. Relevant AI-enabling research areas may include, but are not limited to, reaction discovery and optimization, synthesis planning, catalyst and reagent design, mechanistic analysis, and prediction or control of chemical reactivity and selectivity; molecular and biomolecular structure, function, and design, including generative design of biological systems; chemical biology; and the discovery of functional molecules and materials. Approaches integrating AI with experimental chemistry, automated or closed-loop experimentation, chemical theory, or simulation are encouraged. Applicants from anywhere within the chemical science continuum are invited, as long as the development of AI-enabled approaches is a central focus. The Department of Chemistry/Biochemistry is home to dynamic faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, a competitive Joint Doctoral Program and numerous cross-disciplinary Master’s programs. Faculty benefit from robust institutional support, including access to core facilities and partnerships with external organizations. SDSU is part of a strong research ecosystem in San Diego encompassing a thriving biotechnology sector, multiple academic research institutions (Salk Institute, Scripps Research, University of California San Diego) and multiple academic clinical centers (Moores Cancer Center, Rady Children’s Hospital). SDSU champions the teacher-scholar model of academic research where faculty effort is equally split between teaching and mentoring students, and research.

We can keep that as About the role (maybe trimmed but preserve all substantive info). We should not include the link? It's part of description; we can keep as plain text.
Responsibilities: From description: teaching both undergraduate and graduate courses, establishing and sustaining a vigorous independent externally funded research program, actively contribute to service activities within the university and broader professional community. Also teacher-scholar model: effort equally split between teaching and mentoring students, and research. So we can list responsibilities: Teaching undergraduate and graduate courses; Establishing and sustaining an independent, externally funded research program; Contributing to service activities within the university and broader professional community; Engaging in teacher-scholar model (balanced teaching and research). Could be a .
Requirements: Required qualifications by date of application: "A strong record of original research achievements, along with demonstrated ability to: (a) establish and sustain a vigorous, independent, and externally funded research program; (b) effectively teach both undergraduate and graduate courses; and (c) actively contribute to service activities within the university and the broader professional community. Demonstration of past accomplishments and/or future plans in at least three (3) of the “Building on Inclusive Excellence” criteria." Also required qualifications by date of hire: "Terminal degree in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Computer Science or a closely related field, with all degree requirements met." So we can combine.
Qualifications: Preferred qualifications: "Postdoctoral or equivalent research experience. Demonstrated expertise in developing or substantively integrating artificial intelligence, machine-learning, or data-driven methods to address chemical or biochemical questions. A research program that combines methodological innovation with chemically or biochemically meaningful discovery and validation. Potential to build interdisciplinary collaborations across experimental, computational, and theoretical research areas. Evidence of effective teaching or mentoring in chemistry, biochemistry, computation, data science, or related disciplines."
Skills: Could be AI expertise, machine learning, data-driven methods, interdisciplinary collaboration, teaching, etc. But we might combine with Qualifications. However we need to decide sections. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including required and preferred), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Maybe Skills not needed if covered in Requirements/Qualifications. But we could have Qualifications section for required and preferred, and maybe Skills not needed. However the instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't require all; we include only those with real content.
We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (required qualifications), Qualifications (preferred), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Skills maybe not needed separately; we could omit.
We must not include application instructions. So we remove lines about applying via PageUp, cover letter, CV, etc.
We must remove duplicated lines: The posting repeats some paragraphs about description and invitation. We'll keep only one copy.
We must remove EEO boilerplate etc.
We must not include Job ID etc as headings; we can include a short for metadata like location, work type, etc. Perhaps at top we can have a
