We need to output only HTML fragment with sections for headings that have real content. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse posting details. Key sections: - About the role: maybe from Position Summary? That includes why work at Villanova, description of department, etc. So we can put that under

About the role

with paragraphs. - Responsibilities: Duties And Responsibilities bullet list. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications? Also maybe Preferred Qualifications? Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to include based on content. We have: - Position Summary (why work at Villanova, department description) -> About the role. - Duties And Responsibilities -> Responsibilities. - Minimum Qualifications -> Requirements (or Qualifications). Could put under Requirements. - Preferred Qualifications -> Qualifications (or Skills). Could put under Qualifications. - Benefits: The posting mentions holistic benefits package, generous paid time off, competitive retirement savings plan, flexible work options, wellness programs including gym membership, professional development, tuition assistance, and more. That's benefits. So we can include Benefits section. - Pay: There's "Competitive Salary Band" but no specific numbers. The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Competitive Salary Band" which is a statement about pay but not specific numbers. Is that enough? It says "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "Competitive Salary Band" is vague but not exactly placeholder like those. However it's still not a specific number. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state "Competitive Salary Band". That is a statement about pay, albeit vague. I'd argue we should include Pay section with that statement. But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". "Competitive Salary Band" is not exactly filler but still vague. I'd include it. - Schedule: Work Schedule: full-time/9-months. That's a schedule. So we can include Schedule section. - Skills: Not explicitly listed. Could infer from responsibilities but not explicit. Better not to create Skills section if no explicit content. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to use

for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Let's extract content. About the role: The Position Summary paragraph includes: "Why work at Villanova? Join a mission-driven organization. Since Villanova University’s founding in 1842, we have been inspired by the values of truth, unity, and love, and are a community dedicated to service to others. Villanova has been included among the nation’s best colleges and universities. VU’s inclusion again in U.S. News & World Report’s 2026 “Best Colleges” rankings is another indication of the University’s continued prominence and forward momentum. Villanova’s most precious asset is our people. As an employee, you will receive a holistic benefits package, generous paid time off, a competitive retirement savings plan, flexible work options, wellness programs including gym membership, professional development, tuition assistance, and more . The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Villanova University invites applications for two tenure track positions in Mathematics with the rank of Assistant Professor. The positions begin in August 2027. The teaching load is 12 credits for the first year, with a standard load of 15 credits per year thereafter. Candidates from all areas of Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, and related fields, such as Operations Research and Financial Mathematics, are invited to apply. For one position, preference will be given to candidates with research interests broadly in applied math. Join a dynamic group of mathematicians with research interests spanning applied and theoretical fields! Our program features a robust undergraduate major in mathematics, a well-established MA in Mathematics, and an undergraduate minor. We run a highly-successful program of faculty-mentored undergraduate research that is supported by an endowment. Graduates of our program pursue further studies in mathematics, or a related field, or enter careers in industries including healthcare, business, sports, consulting, and education. Our department currently has 46 full-time faculty members in mathematics and statistics. Villanova values excellence in teaching, supporting it through teaching development and grant opportunities as well as small class sizes. The department, known for its collegiality, provides a caring and inclusive community in which faculty and students of all backgrounds can learn and succeed. Further information can be found at https://math.villanova.edu . Villanova is located 12 miles west of Philadelphia, which is the nation’s sixth largest city and home to many historical and cultural attractions. There is easy access to the Philadelphia International Airport and to nearby cities such as New York and Washington, DC both by highway and by rail. More information about Villanova and its location is available on the Villanova website at https://www1.villanova.edu/university.html . Villanova is a Catholic university sponsored by the Augustinian Order. The University is an equal opportunity employer and seeks candidates who understand, respect and can contribute to the University’s mission and values." We need to remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The last sentence about equal opportunity employer is boilerplate; we should remove it. Also maybe remove "Villanova is a Catholic university sponsored by the Augustinian Order." That's not boilerplate but maybe part of mission; keep? It's not EEO. It's okay. We should also remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. There's no application instructions besides maybe referencing FAQ but we can drop. Thus About the role content: we keep everything except the EEO line. Also maybe remove "Villanova is an equal opportunity employer and seeks candidates who understand, respect and can contribute to the University’s mission and values." That's EEO; remove. Now Responsibilities: Duties And Responsibilities: "Teach mathematics courses at the introductory, upper, and graduate levels.Establish and maintain a research program in your area of expertise.Be an active member of the department, the Villanova community, and the profession." Note there are no spaces after periods. We'll keep as is but could format as list items. We need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we will make each duty a
- . Thus:
  - Teach mathematics courses at the introductory, upper, and graduate levels.
  - Establish and maintain a research program in your area of expertise.
  - Be an active member of the department, the Villanova community, and the profession.
  Now Requirements: Minimum Qualifications: "Ph.D. (completed before Fall 2027) in mathematics, applied mathematics, or a related field.Commitment to excellence in both teaching and research." Again missing space after period. We'll split into two items. Thus:
  - Ph.D. (completed before Fall 2027) in mathematics, applied mathematics, or a related field.
  - Commitment to excellence in both teaching and research.
  Now Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications: "Physical Requirements and/or Unusual Work Hours: Special Message To Applicants" Wait that seems weird. Actually the posting includes a line: "Preferred Qualifications Physical Requirements and/or Unusual Work Hours: Special Message To Applicants". That seems like a heading but no content. Let's look at original: after Minimum Qualifications there is: "Preferred Qualifications Physical Requirements and/or Unusual Work Hours: Special Message To Applicants Posting Date: 09/25/2026 Closing Date (11:59pm ET): Salary Posting Information Competitive Salary Band Job Classification: faculty References Needed References Needed Minimum Number of References Needed 3 Maximum Number of References Needed 4" It seems the formatting is messed. There's no actual preferred qualifications listed. The line "Preferred Qualifications Physical Requirements and/or Unusual Work Hours: Special Message To Applicants" seems like a placeholder heading with no actual content. Then there is posting date etc. So there is no actual preferred qualifications content. So we should not create a Qualifications section if there is no real specific content. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we should skip Qualifications. But we still have "Physical Requirements and/or Unusual Work Hours: Special Message To Applicants" which is not meaningful. So we skip. Thus we may not have Qualifications section. Now Benefits: we have benefits described in the Position Summary: "holistic benefits package, generous paid time off, a competitive retirement savings plan, flexible work options, wellness programs including gym membership, professional development, tuition assistance, and more". That's a list. We'll put under Benefits as
