Assistant Professor of Physical Chemistry - Department of Chemistry
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No filler like "commensurate with experience". We must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions? The instruction says: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the application instructions (the part about how to apply). Also remove contact info? Possibly contact info is not boilerplate but maybe considered application instructions? It says "For additional information please contact the Search Committee Chair..." That's contact info; might be considered application instructions? It's not strictly instructions to apply but contact. Might be considered part of application process; safer to remove? The instruction: "Remove ... application instructions." So we should remove the paragraph that tells how to apply, including the link and list of documents. Also remove contact email? Probably part of that. We'll remove that.
We need to keep substantive info: description of department, responsibilities, qualifications, etc. Also location info about Morgantown, WV, etc. Also maybe "Benefits" not mentioned; no benefits specifics. So we should not create Benefits section. Pay not mentioned. Schedule not mentioned. So we will include sections: About the role (maybe summarizing department description), Responsibilities, Qualifications (or Professional Qualifications). Possibly Skills? The posting lists abilities etc. Could be under Qualifications. We'll decide.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "C. Eugene Bennett Department of Chemistry Assistant Professor – Physical Chemistry". Not to be used as heading.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract.

"C. Eugene Bennett Department of Chemistry Assistant Professor – Physical Chemistry West Virginia University The C. Eugene Bennett Department of Chemistry in the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences at West Virginia University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Physical Chemistry starting August 2027. The C. Eugene Bennett Department of Chemistry is a vibrant community of chemists, providing the infrastructure and training experiences that allow WVU students to become leaders in all fields of chemistry. There are lecture and laboratory courses in the general areas of analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, in addition to more specialized courses. Undergraduate students are provided opportunities to participate in cutting-edge research with faculty mentors, developing the ability to understand complex concepts and apply problem solving skills to contemporary chemical problems. Graduate student researchers work independently in their chosen fields in addition to teaching undergraduate laboratory courses. The Department consists of 9 tenured and tenure-track faculty, 10 teaching faculty, and about 60 graduate students, organized around traditional and cross-cutting research areas. Further information can be found at the Department website: https://www.chemistry.wvu.edu/ . Responsibilities The applicant is expected to establish an externally funded, nationally competitive research program in Physical Chemistry with a focus on computational chemistry and the application of artificial intelligence to chemical problems. Teaching responsibilities will normally include classes that complement the Chemistry Department’s current offerings at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The expected teaching load is 2 courses per year plus contributions to instruction through the graduate research program based on expected high research activity. The candidate will also be expected to serve the community, university, and profession. Professional Qualifications The successful candidate must meet the following criteria. Ph.D., in Chemistry or a related field at the time of hire. Teaching ability in the area of Physical Chemistry. Research and teaching interests in Physical Chemistry with a focus on computational chemistry and the application of artificial intelligence to chemical problems. Demonstrated ability to develop a vigorous and externally funded research program. Ability to collaborate in research with faculty in other disciplines. Ability to provide high-quality mentorship to undergraduate and graduate students in research. Excellent written and oral communication skills. To apply, please visit https://careers.wvu.edu/career-opportunities and upload (1) a cover letter describing your research and teaching interests and abilities, (2) a curriculum vitae including a list of publications, (3) a succinct statement of future research plans, and 4) a one-page teaching statement. Reference letters may be requested at a later stage in the search process. For additional information please contact the Search Committee Chair, Dr. Terry Gullion, at Terry.Gullion@mail.wvu.edu. Review of applications will begin on November 9th and will continue until the position is filled. Morgantown, WV is a growing university city. The area offers abundant outdoor recreation and the cultural opportunities of a college town. It is within easy driving distance of Pittsburgh, PA (70 mi) and is within a day's driving distance to Washington DC and Columbus, OH (200 mi). West Virginia University is a place of purpose and community. We take pride in our profound impact on the state of West Virginia and are committed to the personal and professional growth of our employees.

To learn more about WVU, visit wvu.edu . West Virginia University is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We invite all qualified applicants regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, or Veteran status."
We need to remove EEO line at end. Also remove application instructions (the "To apply, please visit..." paragraph). Also remove contact info line? It's part of that paragraph? Actually after "Reference letters may be requested..." then "For additional information please contact the Search Committee Chair, Dr. Terry Gullion, at Terry.Gullion@mail.wvu.edu." That's also application-related; we can remove that as well. Also remove "Review of applications will begin on November 9th and will continue until the position is filled." That's also application process; maybe remove? It's not exactly instruction but still part of hiring timeline. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove application instructions; timeline maybe okay to keep? It's not instructions but info. However it's about application review; could be considered part of process. Safer to keep? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The timeline is not exactly instruction but could be considered part of application process. I'd keep it as it's substantive info about when review starts. But it's not about duties/requirements. Might be okay to keep in a paragraph.
We also need to remove duplicated lines: there is duplication of "The C. Eugene Bennett Department of Chemistry" appears twice at start; we should keep only one instance? The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we should not repeat same sentence. We'll combine.
Now structure.
We need sections: About the role (maybe department description). Responsibilities. Qualifications (Professional Qualifications). Possibly Skills? The qualifications list includes abilities; could be under Qualifications. We'll not create Skills unless we have distinct skills list.
We need to include location info and WVU description maybe under About the role or a separate section like "About the Department" but we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use About the role to include department description, location, WVU values, etc.
We must not create sections with filler. So we will include About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications. Possibly Requirements? The posting has "Professional Qualifications" which is essentially requirements. Could map to Requirements or Qualifications. Since we have both headings, we need to decide which to use. The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can choose any of those. We should not create both Requirements and Qualifications if they'd be similar; better to pick one that matches content. The posting has "Professional Qualifications". So we can use Qualifications heading. We could also use Requirements for things like Ph.D., teaching ability, etc. But Qualifications is fine.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So we will not include that.
Now produce HTML.
We'll start with About the role
then a
containing department description, location, WVU values, etc. Ensure we preserve all substantive info: mention that it's a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Physical Chemistry starting August 2027, department vibrant community, courses, undergraduate research opportunities, graduate student responsibilities, department size, website link. Also mention Morgantown, WV description, distances, WVU purpose, core values, work-life balance, etc. Also mention that further info at department website.
We must not include application instructions, contact, EEO, etc.

We might also include "Review of applications will begin on November 9th and will continue until the position is filled." Where to place? Could be a separate paragraph under About the role or maybe a separate section like "Timeline" but not allowed headings. Could add a
after Qualifications maybe. It's substantive info about hiring timeline. We'll include as a
after Qualifications.
Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "West Virginia University is an Equal Opportunity Employer." Remove.
Check for duplicated lines: we removed duplicate department description.
Now produce HTML fragment.
Let's craft.
About the role paragraph: combine sentences.
