Assistant Professor of Korean
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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 the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
The posting includes:
- About Us (description of university)
- Location (campus addresses)
- Department Information (description of department)
- Job Summary (position details)
- Responsibilities (list)
- Required Qualifications (list)
- Preferred Qualifications (list)
- Required Documents to Attach (list)
- Incomplete applications will not be considered. (maybe not needed)
- Apply Before Date (deadline)
- Contact Information (list)
- USG Core Values (maybe not needed? It's boilerplate? Might be considered boilerplate but it's specific values; but instructions say remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. USG Core Values maybe not boilerplate but could be considered generic. Might keep? Probably not needed as it's not directly about the job. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. USG Core Values is not exactly EEO but still maybe considered boilerplate. Safer to drop.
- Equal Employment Opportunity (definitely drop)
- Background Check (maybe drop as boilerplate? It's policy but could be considered legal. Likely drop.)
Thus we keep sections: About Us, Location, Department Information, Job Summary, Responsibilities, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Required Documents, Apply Before Date, Contact Information.
We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading (the page already shows it). So we don't add a heading for "Assistant Professor of Korean". Good.
We need to not put minor metadata (like location) maybe as
not heading? But location is substantive; we could have a section "Location" with
Location
and then with addresses. That seems okay.
