Title: Department of Mechanical Engineering College of Engineering and Computer Science Assistant Professor Fall 2027
We should not repeat job title as heading.
We need sections: About the role (maybe description of position), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, legal, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, application instructions? Actually we should remove application instructions? The instruction says: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we must remove application instructions (like how to apply, deadline, contact). Also remove "Application" section details? Probably yes. Also remove "Application Deadline" etc. Also remove "Notice of Non-Discrimination" etc.
We need to keep substantive info: description of department, position, responsibilities, qualifications, required qualifications, maybe skills, benefits, pay, schedule.
Let's extract.
From posting:
- Department of Mechanical Engineering at CSUF invites applications for two tenure-track Assistant Professor positions in Mechanical Engineering with appointment to begin Fall 2027. Seeks candidates from all fields but especially interested in thermal-fluid sciences and manufacturing.
- Position description: CSUF faculty in the mechanical engineering department are committed teacher/scholars who create compelling educational experiences for their students. They teach courses in the areas of their expertise, advise students, and serve on departmental and university-wide committees. The primary responsibilities for this role include teaching courses in the mechanical engineering curricula, developing new courses in emerging areas of mechanical engineering, mentoring students on their projects and research, participating in service opportunities that benefit students and the university, and contributing positively to the culture of the department.
- Required Qualifications: Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or related field. ABD’s may apply but must earn a doctorate in one of the sub disciplines of Mechanical Engineering before the appointment date; B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field. Ability to teach undergraduate and graduate courses, including laboratory courses. Ability and willingness to promote undergraduate and graduate student success through advising, co-curricular activities and other high impact practices. Focused research agenda with external funding potential. Demonstrated experience in publishing scholarly peer-reviewed publications in refereed venues within the last three years. Excellent communication skills, both written and oral. Ability and willingness to interact effectively with a wide and culturally diverse range of students and colleagues.
- Skills? Possibly same as qualifications. But we can separate: Skills maybe teaching, research, communication, advising.
- Benefits: "Compensation The Assistant Professor (Academic Year) classification salary range is $6,221 to $13,224 monthly (12 monthly payments per academic year). The anticipated hiring range is $7,670 to $7,823 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; access to campus child‑care; and a defined‑benefit retirement through the state system and optional tax-sheltering opportunities. For a detailed description of benefits, please visit https://hr.fullerton.edu/total-wellness/. New employees hired by the CSU for the first time who first become CalPERS members on or after July 1, 2017, are subject to a 10-year vesting period for retiree health and dental benefits."
- Schedule? Not explicitly given. It's academic year position, likely 9-month? But not stated. The posting mentions "Assistant Professor (Academic Year) classification salary range is $6,221 to $13,224 monthly (12 monthly payments per academic year)." That suggests 12 monthly payments over academic year (maybe 9 months work but paid over 12). No explicit schedule like "Full-time, Academic Year". We could infer schedule: Academic Year (Fall/Spring). But we should not invent. If not explicitly stated, we should not create Schedule section. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Pay is stated (salary range). Benefits is stated. Schedule is not explicitly stated; we should omit Schedule section.
- About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph describing position and department. That seems appropriate.
- Responsibilities: we have primary responsibilities list.
- Requirements: maybe same as Required Qualifications? Could separate Requirements (like Ph.D., ABD, B.S., ability to teach, etc.) and Qualifications (maybe focus on research agenda, publications, communication, etc.) But we need to avoid duplication. The posting lumps them as "Required Qualifications". Could treat that as Qualifications. For Requirements maybe we could include "Ability to teach undergraduate and graduate courses, including laboratory courses." etc. But we need to decide.
Better to have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (which includes required qualifications), Benefits, Pay. Possibly Skills separate? Could include teaching, research, communication as skills under Qualifications.

We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for each section.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience" as heading content; but we can include that phrase inside
if it's substantive? It's part of Pay description. It's okay. We must not include duplicated lines. We must remove application instructions, EEO, legal, etc. Let's craft HTML. Structure:

We need to ensure we preserve all substantive info: include department info, interest in thermal-fluid sciences and manufacturing, commitment to teacher/scholar, etc. Let's extract About the role paragraph: "The Department of Mechanical Engineering at California State University, Fullerton, invites applications for two tenure‐track Assistant Professor positions in Mechanical Engineering with an appointment to begin Fall 2027. The department seeks candidates from all fields of mechanical engineering but is especially interested candidates with expertise in thermal-fluid sciences and manufacturing." Also maybe include description of CSUF: "In addition, California State University, Fullerton is a leading public university known for its strong academic programs and commitment to student success. As one of the largest campuses in the CSU system, Cal State Fullerton fosters innovation, collaboration, and professional growth. The university values teaching, research, and service, creating an environment where students, staff, and faculty can thrive. Cal State Fullerton is a designated Hispanic-Serving Institution and an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution. The university also received the prestigious Seal of Excelencia in 2021 and 2024 from Excelencia in Education, the nation’s leading authority on Latinx student success. Cal State Fullerton is an equal opportunity employer with a diverse student population of over 45,000 and a faculty and staff population of 4,000. Cal State Fullerton is firmly committed to helping students achieve academic excellence, career success, and economic mobility. Joining Cal State Fullerton means becoming part of a dynamic team dedicated to making a meaningful impact. We continuously seek individuals from various disciplines who share the university’s mission and core values. We welcome you to consider joining the Titan community. CSUF is committed to retaining all faculty and has established affinity groups you can join to support your success." But some of that is generic university description; still substantive. However we must be careful not to include EEO boilerplate; but the above includes equal opportunity employer statement which is EEO. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove lines about equal opportunity employer. Also remove statements about diversity that are boilerplate? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate". So we should strip any explicit EEO statements. The paragraph about being a Hispanic-Serving Institution etc is not EEO but maybe still okay. However the line "Cal State Fullerton is an equal opportunity employer with a diverse student population..." is EEO; we should remove that sentence. Also "We continuously seek individuals from various disciplines who share the university’s mission and core values." is okay. We need to keep the rest. Let's craft About the role: Combine department invitation and university description (excluding EEO lines). Let's produce a concise paragraph. Potential text: "The Department of Mechanical Engineering at California State University, Fullerton invites applications for two tenure-track Assistant Professor positions in Mechanical Engineering with appointments beginning Fall 2027. The department seeks candidates from all fields of mechanical engineering, with particular interest in expertise in thermal-fluid sciences and manufacturing. California State University, Fullerton is a leading public university known for strong academic programs and commitment to student success. As one of the largest campuses in the CSU system, Cal State Fullerton fosters innovation, collaboration, and professional growth.

Joining Cal State Fullerton means becoming part of a dynamic team dedicated to making a meaningful impact, with affinity groups available to support faculty success." That seems good. Now Responsibilities: list from posting: - teaching courses in the mechanical engineering curricula - developing new courses in emerging areas of mechanical engineering - mentoring students on their projects and research - participating in service opportunities that benefit students and the university - contributing positively to the culture of the department Also maybe they teach courses in areas of expertise, advise students, serve on committees. But those are part of description earlier. We'll include those as responsibilities as well? The posting says: "They teach courses in the areas of their expertise, advise students, and serve on departmental and university-wide committees." That is also responsibility. So we can include those. Thus responsibilities list: - Teach courses in the areas of expertise - Advise students - Serve on departmental and university-wide committees - Teach courses in the mechanical engineering curricula - Develop new courses in emerging areas of mechanical engineering - Mentor students on their projects and research - Participate in service opportunities that benefit students and the university - Contribute positively to the culture of the department We could combine similar but keep all. Now Qualifications: list from Required Qualifications: - Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or related field - ABD candidates may apply but must earn a doctorate in one of the sub-disciplines of Mechanical Engineering before the appointment date - B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field - Ability to teach undergraduate and graduate courses, including laboratory courses - Ability and willingness to promote undergraduate and graduate student success through advising, co-curricular activities, and other high-impact practices - Focused research agenda with external funding potential - Demonstrated experience in publishing scholarly peer-reviewed publications in refereed venues within the last three years - Excellent communication skills, both written and oral - Ability and willingness to interact effectively with a wide and culturally diverse range of students and colleagues We could also include "expertise in thermal-fluid sciences and manufacturing" as preferred but not required; but
