Assistant Professor of Communication

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to parse the posting for relevant content. Let's extract: - About the role: Could be summary of job duties, description of position, department info, mission, etc. The posting includes "Summary Of Job Duties", "About The Department". So we can combine into About the role. - Responsibilities: Duties will include teaching, research, service percentages, etc. Also "Duties will include developing classes and teaching effectively at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and providing service to the Department, University, and discipline." Also "Regular, reliable, and non-disruptive attendance is an essential job duty..." Also "Duties Will Include 40% Teaching or Professional Performance 40% Research/Scholarly and/or Creative Activities 20% Academic Service Activities". So we can list responsibilities. - Requirements: Minimum qualifications: terminal degree in Communication, evidence of active research program in health communication, demonstrated experience and competency in classroom related to coursework in health communication. Also maybe "Preferred Qualifications" but those are not requirements. We'll list minimum qualifications as Requirements. - Qualifications: Could include preferred qualifications? The spec says we can have Qualifications section separate from Requirements. We'll put preferred qualifications there. - Skills: Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (KSAs): ability to publish in top peer reviewed outlets, strong evidence of ability to be active involved collegial member of collaborative team both on campus and in relevant national service organizations. Also maybe other skills: qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, community-engaged applied scholarship, strategic direction collaboration with CCR, success in interdisciplinary research teams, mentoring students, engaging funding agencies. Those are more like qualifications but could go under Skills. - Benefits: The posting mentions benefits package includes university contributions to health, dental, life and disability insurance, tuition waivers for employees and their families, 12 official holidays, immediate leave accrual, choice of retirement programs with university contributions ranging from 5 to 10% of employee salary. Also maybe "As an employer, the University of Arkansas offers a vibrant work environment and a workplace culture that promotes a healthy work-life balance." That's benefits-ish. So we can include Benefits. - Pay: Salary Information: "Salary is commensurate with experience and qualifications." That's vague; we should not include Pay section if it's just "commensurate with experience" (which is placeholder). 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. Since Pay is only "commensurate with experience and qualifications", that's placeholder, so we should NOT include Pay section. - Schedule: Not specified; maybe "standard nine-month faculty appointment", "in-person position". That's schedule? Could be considered schedule: nine-month appointment, in-person. But "standard nine-month faculty appointment" is specific. However schedule section usually about work shift, hours. The posting mentions "Work Shift" earlier: "Work Shift" maybe blank? Actually earlier in metadata: "Work Shift" appears but no value. Not given. So we might not include Schedule unless we have concrete schedule info like "standard nine-month faculty appointment" and "in-person". Could be considered schedule but ambiguous. Safer to omit Schedule if not explicit like "Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm". The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "standard nine-month faculty appointment" and "in-person". That's schedule info. Might be acceptable to include Schedule with that content. However they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state schedule info (nine-month appointment, in-person). So we could include Schedule with that. But we need to avoid filler like "varies". It's specific. Thus we will include Schedule with content: "Standard nine-month faculty appointment; in‑person position." Now Benefits: we have details. Now we need to format using

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 for "Assistant Professor". Good. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting that are relevant to sections. Let's gather content: About the role / Summary: - Department of Communication in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Arkansas invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the area of Health Communication to start in August 2027. - This is a standard nine-month faculty appointment. - In addition to having a research and teaching focus in areas pertaining to Health Communication, the ideal candidate should exhibit strengths in qualitative, quantitative, and/or mixed methods. - The ideal candidate will demonstrate evidence of community-engaged and applied scholarship. - This faculty position is part of the Arkansas Health Research and Solutions cluster hire at the University of Arkansas. - Driven by three Fortune 500 companies, booming steel and lithium sectors, world-class museums, and rich natural beauty, Arkansas is transforming into a vibrant hub of opportunity and innovation. Yet Arkansas also faces significant health challenges. Too many Arkansans experience chronic disease, high rates of infant and maternal mortality, mental health crises, and limited healthcare access. Through this cluster hire initiative, the University will advance its land-grant mission by expanding capacity to address our state’s most pressing challenges. Building on existing campus expertise, these new faculty members will advance their research agendas through collaborative research—both with other scholars and with communities in the state—that results in peer-reviewed publications, external funding, and new approaches to healthcare. - The successful candidate for this position will join a multidisciplinary community of scholars committed to confronting major issues, generating new knowledge, and providing research-based solutions that improve health outcomes for people living in Arkansas and beyond. - Competitive applicants will also demonstrate an ability to provide strategic direction and collaboration with our Center for Communication Research, as well as success in working with interdisciplinary research teams, mentoring undergraduate and graduate students, and engaging regional, state, and national funding agencies. - Duties will include developing classes and teaching effectively at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and providing service to the Department, University, and discipline. This is an in‑person position. Most university classes are offered face‑to‑face, and extensive in‑person engagement in such activities as office hours, student advising, and departmental, college, and university committee meetings is essential to advancing student success and departmental effectiveness. Regular, reliable, and non‑disruptive attendance is an essential job duty, as is the ability to create and maintain collegial, harmonious working relationships with others. - About The Department: The Department of Communication is committed to excellence in scholarship, instruction, and expression of human communication. We nurture a thriving intellectual community by bridging the humanities and social sciences. Discovery, learning, diversity, and engagement are the hallmarks of this community. Visit https://communication.uark.edu/ The Department hosts the Center for Communication Research (CCR) which facilitates collaborative, interdisciplinary social research within the University of Arkansas, Northwest Arkansas region, and broader intellectual community. The CCR seeks to stimulate and support interdisciplinary collaborations; provide opportunities for undergraduate and graduate participation; engage regional, state, and national funding agencies; and acquire and maintain the equipment necessary to support research endeavors. The CCR manages a research lab space that includes state‑of‑the‑art technology for studying all facets of communication. We could combine these into About the role paragraph(s).

But we need to preserve all detail, not invent.

Also "Duties Will Include 40% Teaching or Professional Performance 40% Research/Scholarly and/or Creative Activities 20% Academic Service Activities". So we should include that exactly. Also "Duties will include developing classes and teaching effectively at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and providing service to the Department, University, and discipline." Also "Regular, reliable, and non-disruptive attendance is an essential job duty, as is the ability to create and maintain collegial, harmonious working relationships with others."

(Skip Pay). Ensure each heading

  . Use

  for prose paragraphs,

  • for lists. We need to avoid duplicative lines. Ensure we don't include boilerplate like login instructions, etc. Let's craft. First, About the role: Could be multiple

    paragraphs. We'll combine into maybe two paragraphs. Paragraph 1: Summary of position and start date, appointment type, focus. Paragraph 2: Cluster hire description, mission, health challenges, collaborative research, outcomes. Paragraph 3: Candidate expectations:
