We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. So we need to extract content. Let's parse the posting: - Intro: Department of Physics College of Natural Science and Mathematics Assistant Professor Fall 2027. The Department of Physics at California State University, Fullerton, invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in experimental physics with expertise in optics/quantum optics with an appointment to begin Fall 2027. - Position description: "Optics and quantum optics encompass the study and application of light and its interactions with matter, ranging from classical optical phenomena to effects that require a quantum-mechanical description.

The anticipated hiring range is $7,277 to $7,423 per month. Salary offered is commensurate with experience and qualifications. In addition, the California Equal Pay Act prohibits employers from paying its employees less than those of the opposite sex and/or another race or ethnicity for substantially similar work (link). Summer research grants, moving expenses, start‐up funds, and a reduced teaching load may be available." - CSUF Benefits: "An excellent comprehensive benefits package includes health/vision/dental plans; spouse, domestic partner, and dependent fee‐waiver;" (cut off). Probably continues but we have only that snippet. We'll include what we have. - The College and Department description: maybe part of About the role? Could be included in About the role. We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. About the role: general description of position, department, appointment start, field overview. Responsibilities: teaching, research, service, etc. Requirements: maybe required qualifications. Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications? Or we could combine required and preferred into Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). So we need to decide. We have required qualifications and preferred qualifications. Could put required under Requirements, preferred under Qualifications. Skills maybe not explicitly listed; we could omit Skills if no specific skill list. Benefits we have some. Pay we have salary range. Schedule maybe not given (teaching load etc). There's mention of reduced teaching load may be available, but not a schedule. Probably we should not create Schedule section if no specific schedule info. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. For Pay we have actual numbers, so we can include Pay section. Benefits: we have health/vision/dental plans; spouse, domestic partner, and dependent fee-waiver. That's specific enough. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

Assistant Professor

. We must not include Job ID etc. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like appointment start Fall 2027, tenure-track, experimental physics expertise optics/quantum optics, etc. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft sections:

About the role

... content ...

Maybe include a
    for list of responsibilities? But responsibilities may be prose. We need to use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So if we have a list, we should use ul/li. For About the role maybe prose. Responsibilities: list of duties: teaching introductory and core courses, develop courses in specialization, produce research outputs involving undergraduate and master's students, contribute to department life, participate in broader university and disciplinary communities. Could be a list. Requirements: list of required qualifications (Ph.D., expertise, teaching commitment, scholarly record, ability to establish research program, balance teaching scholarship service, integrate technology, commitment to working with marginalized groups). Use ul/li. Qualifications: list of preferred qualifications (teaching experience, familiarity with research-based pedagogies, innovative teaching practices, postdoc experience, work with undergrads in research, strong record of research accomplishments, sponsored fellowships, academic mentorship, professional outreach, participation in professional societies). Use ul/li. Skills: maybe not present; we could omit. Benefits: list: health/vision/dental plans; spouse, domestic partner, and dependent fee-waiver. Could be ul/li. Pay: list: salary range $6,221 to $13,224 monthly (12 monthly payments per academic year); anticipated hiring range $7,277 to $7,423 per month; summer research grants, moving expenses, start-up funds, reduced teaching load may be available. Use ul/li. Schedule: not present; we should not create. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Also remove the line about California Equal Pay Act link? That's part of Pay? It's a legal statement; maybe we can keep as part of Pay? It's not salary info but legal. Might be considered boilerplate? It's a statement about equal pay; could be considered part of Pay section but it's not specific salary. Might be okay to keep as a sentence. However the instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The Equal Pay Act statement is legal; maybe we should remove it. It's a legal statement about non-discrimination. Likely considered boilerplate. So we should remove that sentence. Also remove the line about "Summer research grants, moving expenses, start‐up funds, and a reduced teaching load may be available." That's part of Pay/Benefits? It's a benefit; we can keep under Benefits maybe. But it's also under Pay description. We'll keep under Benefits maybe. But we already have Benefits list; we can add those items there. Let's extract Benefits: "An excellent comprehensive benefits package includes health/vision/dental plans; spouse, domestic partner, and dependent fee‐waiver;" plus maybe "Summer research grants, moving expenses, start‐up funds, and a reduced teaching load may be available." Actually those are compensation/benefits. We'll include them under Benefits. Pay: just salary ranges. Now ensure we don't include any filler like "commensurate with experience and qualifications" in Pay? That's a phrase; we might need to keep it? It's not specific numeric; but it's part of the description. The instruction: Do NOT create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state salary range, so we can include Pay. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the phrase "Salary offered is commensurate with experience and qualifications." That's substantive? It's a statement but not specific detail. It's not filler like "commensurate with experience" alone? It's a phrase. I'd keep it as part of Pay section maybe as a sentence. But the instruction also says: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". So if we have a Pay section, we must not have only that phrase; we need actual numbers. We have numbers, so it's okay to also include that phrase. Now we need to ensure we don't include any duplicated lines. Let's craft HTML. We'll start with About the role:
