Assistant Professor of Dairy Production Systems
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like: 50% research, 25% teaching, 25% extension; full-time, 36-week appointment; develop externally funded research program; integrate research, teaching, extension; develop extension programs; advise grad students; mentor undergrad; teach courses; teaching responsibilities aligned; priority areas may include ... ; additional teaching opportunities may include dairy challenge, dairy judging, or careers in animal agriculture; department details; facilities; collaborations; education and experience requirements: Ph.D. in Animal Science, Dairy Science, or closely related field; postdoctoral or industry experience preferred; strong record of academic outputs, ability to obtain external funding, experience or interest in teaching and extension, plans to develop innovative research program; must have completed degree by appointment date; excellent communication, teamwork, leadership skills essential.
Benefits: competitive benefits package; comprehensive medical, dental, vision; robust retirement plans; generous 75% tuition discount for employees and eligible spouses/children.
We should not include "Salary & Benefits" as Pay section because salary is vague. But we could include Benefits section with details. The phrase "competitive and commensurate with experience" is vague; we should not create Pay section.
Schedule: full-time, 36-week appointment.
We need to decide sections: About the role (summary of position), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements/Qualifications (education/experience), Skills (communication, teamwork, leadership), Benefits, Schedule.
We must not create empty sections.

About the role
The Department of Animal Science at Penn State invites applications for a tenure‑line Assistant Professor position in Dairy Production Systems. The appointment is 50% research, 25% teaching, and 25% extension, full‑time with a 36‑week schedule. The successful candidate will develop an externally funded, nationally recognized research program addressing critical challenges in modern dairy operations and integrate research, teaching, and extension to deliver practical solutions for producers and allied industries.
But we already have Schedule separate; maybe we mention schedule in About role? Could keep schedule separate. However About role can mention the appointment percentages.
Responsibilities: list items: develop research program; integrate research, teaching, extension; develop extension programs translating findings; advise M.S. and Ph.D. graduate students; mentor undergraduate students; teach undergraduate and graduate courses in dairy science and related disciplines; engage in professional and service activities; teaching responsibilities aligned with expertise and department needs; priority areas may include dairy cattle production and management, dairy herd or farm financial management, milk secretion, ruminology, dairy reproduction, genetics, or nutrition; additional teaching opportunities may include dairy challenge, dairy judging, or careers in animal agriculture.
Requirements/Qualifications: Ph.D. in Animal Science, Dairy Science, or closely related field; postdoctoral or industry experience preferred; strong record of academic outputs; demonstrated ability or potential to obtain external funding; experience or demonstrated interest in teaching and extension; plans to develop an innovative research program addressing important challenges in dairy production systems; must have completed all degree requirements by appointment date.
Skills: Excellent communication, teamwork, and leadership skills are essential.
Benefits: competitive benefits package; comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage; robust retirement plans; generous 75% tuition discount for employees and eligible spouses and children.
Schedule: full‑time, 36‑week appointment.
