Assistant Professor of Exercise and Nutritional Sciences
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also we must not include sections with placeholder text. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
Let's parse content:
- Intro: The San Diego State University School of Exercise and Nutritional Sciences (ENS) seeks to hire at a tenure-track Assistant Professor with expertise in Kinesiology/Athletic Training. We seek an outstanding scholar with expertise in human subjects research related to athletic training, biomechanics, motor control, rehabilitation sciences, health care, or closely related areas. Apply via PageUp by November 1, 2026. To learn more, please visit the School’s website: https://ens.sdsu.edu .
- About The School: description of school, degrees, research, collaborations, award.
- Required Qualifications By Date Of Application: list of bullet points (record of original research..., develop..., teach..., engage..., demonstration of past accomplishments... in at least two or more of the “Building on Inclusive Excellence” criteria.)
- Required Qualifications By Date Of Hire: terminal degree, Athletic Training Certification.
- Preferred Qualifications: list.
- Salary: description of salary range $97,000 to $101,000, based on CSU schedule, may be revised, etc.
- Benefits: mention rich benefits package, link.
- Application Instructions: we must remove application instructions (per rule). So we should drop that section.
- SDSU Values, Equal Opportunity etc: these are boilerplate EEO/legal; must remove.
Thus we keep: intro (maybe as a paragraph), About The School (as a section heading? The heading could be "About the role"? But we have "About The School". The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It seems we should map content to those headings where appropriate. "About The School" could be considered "About the role"? But maybe we should use "About the role" heading and put school description there. However the instruction says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those are typical. We could still use "About the School" as heading but maybe better to follow examples. However they said "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". That implies we should use those exact headings when applicable. The posting has "About The School". Could map to "About the role". But we also have "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". Those could go under "Requirements" and "Qualifications"? Actually they separate required and preferred. Could put required under "Requirements" and preferred under "Qualifications". Or we could have both under "Requirements" and "Qualifications". The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should produce sections with those headings only if we have content.
Thus we need to decide which sections to include:
- About the role: could contain the introductory paragraph about the position and maybe the school description? The "About The School" is more about the school, not the role. But we could still put it under About the role.
- Responsibilities: The posting does not explicitly list responsibilities like teaching, research, service. Those are in required qualifications: develop research program, teach courses, engage in service. Could be considered responsibilities. So we could put those under Responsibilities.
- Requirements: could contain required qualifications (by date of application and by date of hire). Or we could split: Required Qualifications under Requirements, Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe not needed.
- Benefits: we have benefits info.
- Pay: we have salary info.
- Schedule: not mentioned.
Thus we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
We must not include empty sections.
Now we need to format content: Use

Thus we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We must not include empty sections. Now we need to format content: Use
for prose,
- for lists.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics: e.g., "tenure-track Assistant Professor with expertise in Kinesiology/Athletic Training", "outstanding scholar with expertise in human subjects research related to athletic training, biomechanics, motor control, rehabilitation sciences, health care, or closely related areas." Also mention application deadline and website? Application instructions should be removed, but the deadline and website might be considered part of application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. The deadline and website are part of that? The line: "Apply via PageUp by November 1, 2026. To learn more, please visit the School’s website: https://ens.sdsu.edu ." That's application instruction. So we should remove that line entirely. However the introductory sentence about seeking to hire is substantive; we keep that.
Now About The School content: we need to keep all details: school is one of six schools within CHHS, CHHS one of eight academic colleges at SDSU. The school offers undergraduate degrees in Kinesiology (with emphasis areas in Pre-Physical Therapy, Fitness Specialist, and Exercise Science) Foods and Nutrition Graduate Degrees Include M.S. in Athletic Training M.S. in Exercise Physiology M.S. in Food Science M.S. in Kinesiology (concentrations: Biomechanics and Motor Control; Physical Activity) M.S. in Nutritional Sciences Concurrent M.S. degrees in Exercise Physiology and Nutritional Sciences Faculty conduct nationally recognized research in areas including athletic training, biomechanics, motor control, physical activity, exercise physiology, food science, nutritional sciences, healthy aging, obesity, metabolism, and community health. The School maintains active collaborations across the university, with local healthcare systems, and with community organizations. The School received the Inclusive Excellence Award in 2019 from the American Kinesiology Association in recognition of its leadership in promoting inclusive excellence through curriculum innovation, faculty development, and student success.
We must keep that.
Now Responsibilities: from Required Qualifications By Date Of Application: "A record of original research / scholarly / creative accomplishments and demonstrated capacity to: develop a vigorous and independent program of research / scholarship / creative activity teach graduate and undergraduate courses engage in both campus and professional service activities Demonstration of past accomplishments and/or future plans in at least two (2) or more of the “Building on Inclusive Excellence” criteria ."
We need to turn that into a list. The bullet points: develop..., teach..., engage..., demonstration... (maybe separate). We'll produce
- items.
Now Requirements: Required Qualifications By Date Of Hire: "Terminal degree (PhD or equivalent) in Kinesiology, Athletic Training, Rehabilitation Sciences, Biomechanics, Motor Control, Exercise Science, with all degree requirements met. Athletic Training Certification (Board of Certification)". Also maybe include the earlier required qualifications? But we already used those for responsibilities. However the required qualifications also include the record of original research etc. We used that for responsibilities. Could also keep them under Requirements as well, but we need to avoid duplication. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplicated lines should be removed. So we must not repeat same info twice. We used the record of original research etc in Responsibilities. If we also put them under Requirements, that would be duplication. So we should split: Responsibilities: the duties (develop research program, teach, engage service). Requirements: the required qualifications (terminal degree, certification). Also maybe the "demonstration of past accomplishments... in at least two of the Building on Inclusive Excellence criteria" could be considered a requirement as well, but we used it under Responsibilities? Actually that is more a requirement. Let's think: The Required Qualifications By Date Of Application includes three parts: record of original research..., demonstrated capacity to: develop..., teach..., engage..., demonstration of past accomplishments... in at least two of the Building on Inclusive Excellence criteria. So the first part (record of original research) is a qualification, not a responsibility. The demonstrated capacity to develop..., teach..., engage... are responsibilities. The demonstration of past accomplishments... is also a qualification (or maybe a requirement). To avoid duplication, we could assign:
- Requirements: Terminal degree, Athletic Training Certification, record of original research / scholarly / creative accomplishments, demonstration of past accomplishments and/or future plans in at least two of the Building on Inclusive Excellence criteria.
- Responsibilities: develop a vigorous and independent program of research / scholarship / creative activity; teach graduate and undergraduate courses; engage in both campus and professional service activities.
That seems logical and avoids duplication.
Now Preferred Qualifications: list items.
Now Benefits: "San Diego State University offers a rich benefits package that constitutes a major portion of total compensation. For benefits information, click here ." We should keep the sentence about rich benefits package. The link "click here" is maybe boilerplate but it's part of benefits info. We can keep as a link? Probably keep as is.
Now Pay: Salary paragraph: "The minimum salary for this position is based on the current CSU salary schedule and may be revised based on contract collective bargaining. The anticipated salary range is from $97,000 to $101,000. Salary placement will be based on the selected candidate’s qualifications and experience, and salaries higher than the published maximums may be offered in limited circumstances."
We keep that.
Now we must not include Schedule.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown.
We'll produce something like:
About the role
The San Diego State University School of Exercise and Nutritional Sciences (ENS) seeks to hire a tenure-track Assistant Professor with expertise in Kinesiology/Athletic Training. We seek an outstanding scholar with expertise in human subjects research related to athletic training, biomechanics, motor control, rehabilitation sciences, health care, or closely related areas.
About the School
maybe we should not add extra heading not in list. But we could incorporate school description under About the role? However the instruction says use those headings as examples, not strictly limited. Safer to add a heading for School maybe "About the School". But they didn't list that as example; but they said "usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." implies those are examples, not exclusive. So we can use other headings as needed. However to be safe, we could put school description under About the role as well, but that would mix role and school. Might be okay. But we already used About the role for intro paragraph. We could add another paragraph about school under same heading. That would be fine. Thus:
