We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have sections: About Us, Department Information, Job Summary, Responsibilities, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Required Documents to Attach, Apply Before Date, Contact Information. Also maybe Location? The instructions: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map headings accordingly. We should not repeat job title as heading. We should not include Job ID etc. We should include sections only when posting has real specific content. We should not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless stated. There's no explicit pay or schedule besides "nine-month contracted position". That's schedule? It says "This is a nine-month contracted position". That could be schedule info. Should we include a Schedule section? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. "nine-month contracted position" is specific. So we could have a Schedule section with that detail. Benefits? Not mentioned. Pay? Not mentioned. Skills? Not separate; we have qualifications. We'll have sections: About Us? Could be "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is generic about university; maybe we can put under "About the role"? But instructions list example headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should use those headings where appropriate. So we need to map content:
- About the role: could include Job Summary and maybe Department Information? The job summary describes position. We'll put Job Summary under About the role.
- Responsibilities: we have Responsibilities bullet list.
- Requirements: could be Required Qualifications.
- Qualifications: could be Preferred Qualifications (or we could combine). But we have both Required and Preferred. Could make Requirements for Required Qualifications, and Qualifications for Preferred Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe not separate; we could omit if no specific skills list.
- Benefits: none.
- Pay: none.
- Schedule: nine-month contracted position.
Also we might include Location? Not in list but could be part of About the role? Might be okay to include as a paragraph under About the role.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Assistant Professor of Geography". Good.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. That includes "Required Documents to Attach" maybe considered application instructions? It says remove application instructions. The Required Documents to Attach is part of application instructions. Should we remove it? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the Required Documents to Attach section. Also remove "Apply Before Date" maybe considered application instruction? It's a deadline; could be considered application instruction. Might be removed. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; but the instruction says remove application instructions. The deadline is substantive but it's an instruction for applying. I'd lean to remove it as per instruction. Similarly contact information maybe considered application instruction? It's for questions; could be considered application instruction. Might be removed. But we need to see if they want us to keep contact info? The instruction says remove application instructions. Contact info is for questions about the faculty opening; that's still part of application process. Likely remove.
Thus we keep: About Us (maybe as About the role), Department Information, Job Summary, Responsibilities, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Schedule (nine-month contracted). Possibly Location as part of About the role.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. Keep all details.

We need to format as - items. The responsibilities are a bit run-on; we can split into logical items:
- Develop and teach general education courses, lower and upper-level undergraduate courses and/or graduate courses related to geography and sustainability.
- Mentor students in the candidate's field(s) of research and in career readiness.
- Teach courses of various sizes including large class sizes; in various modalities; on the Kennesaw and/or Marietta campuses.

We need to output HTML fragment only.
We'll structure:
About the role
About Us paragraph + Location + Department Information + Job Summary? Might be too much. Better to split: About the role could contain Job Summary and maybe Location. Department Information could be its own section? Not in list but we could treat as About the role as well. But we need to follow instruction: use headings from list; we can add other headings? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings; we could also add other headings if needed? Probably better to stick to those. So we need to map all content into those headings.
Thus:
- About the role: includes About Us, Location, Department Information, Job Summary.
- Responsibilities: as above.
- Requirements: Required Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications.
- Schedule: nine-month contracted position (maybe also mention work performed in state of Georgia? That's location of work; could be part of About the role.)
We must not create Pay/Benefits/Skills sections if no content.
Let's craft About the role paragraph combining all relevant info without duplication.
We need to preserve all substantive information; we can't omit details like the Department's mission, research areas, college info, etc. So we need to include them.
We'll create a few paragraphs under About the role.
Let's draft:
