for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We need to extract relevant content: The posting is for tenure-track Assistant Professor in Early Modern British Literature. Details: Department of English, Fulbright College. Start August 2027. Standard nine-month faculty appointment. Teach two courses per semester, including Introduction to Shakespeare. Other courses could include graduate course on early modern British literature, upper-level undergraduate Special Topics, survey of early British literature, Introduction to Literature for majors and non-majors.

Additional Information: Salary Information: Salary Is Commensurate With Experience And Qualifications. (We should not create Pay section if only says commensurate with experience; rule: never emit Pay section unless posting actually states them; but "Salary Is Commensurate With Experience And Qualifications." is not a specific salary figure; it's vague. According to rule: 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 posting actually states them. So we should NOT create Pay section. Benefits: The posting mentions benefits package earlier in generic description about university benefits: "As an employer, the University of Arkansas offers a vibrant work environment... The 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, and a choice of retirement programs with university contributions ranging from 5 to 10% of employee salary." That's specific benefits info. So we can include Benefits section with that content. Also "Benefits Eligible Yes" appears later. So we can include Benefits. Schedule: Not specified besides standard nine-month faculty appointment, teaching two courses per semester. Could infer schedule but not explicit. Probably not include Schedule section unless explicit. The posting does not give specific schedule like "Monday-Friday 9-5". So we skip Schedule. About the role: Could be a summary of role. We have "Summary Of Job Duties" section. That could be About the role or Responsibilities. We need to decide headings: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to appropriate headings. We have: - About the role: maybe a brief overview: tenure-track Assistant Professor in Early Modern British Literature, start Aug 2027, nine-month appointment, teaching two courses per semester, research expectations, service. - Responsibilities: could list duties: designing courses, constructing syllabi, leading instruction, developing assessments, coaching students, mentoring/evaluating, regular attendance, collegial relationships. - Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications. - Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications (or combine). But we have both Minimum and Preferred. Could put Requirements for Minimum Qualifications, Qualifications for Preferred? Or we could have Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). The instruction says use those headings as examples; we can choose. - Skills: maybe not explicit; we could skip if not specific. - Benefits: we have benefits package. - Pay: skip. - Schedule: skip. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can condense into lists but must not lose detail. However we must not create placeholder sections. We need to include all substantive info: department description, university description, etc. Some of that may be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The university description about being land grant, top 2% research, etc. Might be considered substantive? It's about the institution. It might be considered part of "About the role" or "About the department". It's not boilerplate; it's descriptive. We should keep it. We also need to remove application instructions like "Please do not send to listed recruitment contact." etc. Also remove lines about how to log in to Workday, etc. Also remove EEO statements, disability accommodation request, etc. Also remove "All Job Postings will close at 12:01 a.m. CT on the specified Closing Date (if designated)." etc. Also remove "If you close the browser..." etc. Also remove "Review of applications will begin immediately..." etc. Also remove "Pre-employment Screening Requirements Criminal Background Check, Sex Offender Registry" maybe considered boilerplate? It's about hiring process; might be considered application instructions. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove those. Also remove "Constant Physical Activity N/A Frequent Physical Activity N/A Occasional Physical Activity N/A". That's boilerplate. Also remove "Benefits Eligible Yes" maybe part of Benefits? Could keep as part of Benefits. We need to keep: Department of English, Department's Website, Summary Of Job Duties, About The Department, Duties Will Include, Qualifications (Minimum and Preferred), Additional Information (Salary Information, Required Documents, Optional Documents, Recruitment Contact Information, Special Instructions To Applicants). However many of those are application instructions (required documents, special instructions). We must remove application instructions. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove Required Documents, Optional Documents, Recruitment Contact Information, Special Instructions To Applicants, etc. Also remove lines about how to apply via Workday, etc. Also remove "Please do not send to listed recruitment contact." etc. We must preserve ALL substantive information; but removing application instructions may remove some substantive info like required documents (cover letter, CV, writing sample, references). Are those considered substantive? They are part of application process, not job content. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove them. Thus we keep: job description, duties, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, department description, university description, maybe salary note (but we skip Pay section). We also keep "Duties Will Include" percentages. We also keep "Closing Date Type of Position: Faculty - Tenure/Tenure Track Workstudy Position No Job Type Regular Work Shift Sponsorship Available: Yes Institution Name University of Arkansas, Fayetteville". That's metadata; we should fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. The instruction: "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 that metadata. We also have "All Job Postings will close at 12:01 a.m. CT on the specified Closing Date (if designated)." That's application instruction; drop. We have "Current University of Arkansas System employees..." etc. That's instructions for accessing job; drop.

We have "You will be able to access and complete the application through “My Draft Applications”..." drop.
