- About Our College: description.
- About Our Department: description.
- Benefits: "Information on excellent benefits package available to CSULB faculty is located here: CSU Employee Benefits". That's a link; we can include a Benefits section with that statement.
- Pay: we have salary range info. So we can include Pay section.
- Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly; maybe effective date and academic year. Not a schedule. Probably omit Schedule section if no specific schedule info.
- Application instructions: we must remove application instructions (How to Apply, required documentation, etc.) per instructions: remove application instructions. So we should not include that.
- Also remove boilerplate like Employment Requirements, etc. Those are likely boilerplate (background check, mandated reporter, etc.) Should be removed as per instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Employment Requirements likely legal boilerplate; remove.
- Also remove "About Our College" and "About Our Department"? Those are substantive info about the college/department; we can include maybe under "About the role" or separate sections like "About the College" and "About the Department". But headings allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We cannot create arbitrary headings like "About the College". Must stick to those headings. So we need to map content to those headings.
We have:
- About the role: could include effective date, institution description, mission, commitments, college/department description.
- Responsibilities: duties (teaching, mentoring, research, service, etc.)
- Requirements: required qualifications.
- Qualifications: could be preferred qualifications? Or we could combine required and preferred under Requirements and Qualifications? The spec says use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide what goes where.
We could put required qualifications under "Requirements". Preferred qualifications under "Qualifications". Skills maybe not explicitly listed; we could omit Skills if no specific skill list.
Benefits: we have benefits link.
Pay: salary range.
Schedule: maybe effective date and academic year? Could include effective date and that it's academic year (12 monthly payments). But schedule usually refers to work schedule (full-time, part-time). Not given. Might omit Schedule if no specific content. However we could include effective date and that it's a full-time academic year position. The posting says "Assistant Professor (Academic Year) classification salary is ... (12 monthly payments per academic year)." That implies full-time academic year. Could be considered schedule: Academic Year, full-time. But we need to avoid filler like "not specified". We have some info: effective date August 17, 2027 (Fall Semester). So we can include that under Schedule? Might be better to put effective date under About the role. Schedule maybe not needed.
We must not create sections with filler. So if we don't have clear schedule info, omit Schedule.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
