We need to output only HTML fragment, using for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real, specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive information.
We need to parse posting details.
Key sections:
- About the role: maybe description of position, purpose, essential functions. Could be "About the role" heading.
- Responsibilities: list of duties: teach five courses per year, etc.
- Requirements: maybe minimum qualifications? Or "Qualifications"? The instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content.
We have Minimum Qualifications: Ph.D. required, evidence of productive research agenda.
Preferred Qualifications: list of areas, teaching effectiveness, diversity experience, etc.
Skills: maybe not explicit; could be derived from preferred qualifications? But we should not invent. If no explicit skills, we should not create Skills section.
Benefits: mention Pacific offers full-time employees opportunity to live on campus at below-market rental rates. Also maybe other benefits not mentioned. So we have a benefit: campus housing at below-market rental rates.
Pay: Hiring Range $74,000 per year.
Schedule: maybe "Full Time" and "Days Per Week Weeks Per Year" not given. There's "Full or Part Time Full Time". No specific days per week. Could infer typical full-time schedule but not given. Should not create Schedule unless posting actually states them. It does not give specific schedule, just full-time. Might not include Schedule.
We also have note about in-person role, relocation within California, preferably within 25 miles, not eligible for visa sponsorship. That's maybe part of About the role or Requirements? Could be under Requirements (location). But we can include in About the role.
We must not include duplicated lines, boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions (cover letter, CV, etc.) and special instructions, contact info, reference letter info, background check statement, etc. Also remove supplemental questions.
We must preserve all substantive information: that includes position description, responsibilities, qualifications, pay, benefit (campus housing), location requirement, visa ineligibility, start date Fall 2027, department, etc.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics: teach five (5) courses per year (2-3 or 3-2), most lower-division public law and U.S. politics and upper-division constitutional law (civil liberties, civil rights, separation of powers) and judicial politics. One course within Pacific’s CORE Seminar series. Maintain productive research agenda with promise of peer-reviewed publication. Advise students, provide service commensurate with rank.
Minimum Qualifications: Ph.D. in Political Science or closely related field required by time of appointment. Evidence of productive research agenda with promise of peer-reviewed publication required.
Preferred Qualifications: work draws on empirical and interpretive approaches to study of law and courts. Substantive areas: judicial behavior and decision-making, constitutional development, federalism and separation of powers, rights and civil liberties, comparative judicial politics, criminal justice, intersection of law and political institutions. Demonstrated effectiveness in undergraduate teaching strongly preferred. Experience and sensitivity in working with people of diverse backgrounds and cultures. Demonstrated experience in advancing social justice, equity, and inclusion in a university setting. Ability to engage and integrate culturally responsive practices and knowledge.
Benefits: Pacific offers full-time employees a unique opportunity to live on our beautiful campus at below-market rental rates—helping you save time and money on your commute.
Pay: Hiring Range $74,000 per year.
Schedule: Not given specific; we have Full Time. Could we include Schedule section with "Full Time"? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state Full Time under "Full or Part Time". So we could include Schedule with "Full Time". However they also have Days Per Week Weeks Per Year not filled. But we can still state Full Time as schedule. Probably acceptable.
About the role: Could include primary purpose, start date Fall 2027, department, tenure-track, in-person role, relocation within California preferably within 25 miles, not eligible for visa sponsorship.
We must not include duplicated lines. Also remove note about "Note:This is an in-person role..." etc. We'll keep that info.
We must not include application instructions, contact info, etc.

Now produce HTML fragment with headings and content in
or
- .
We need to decide which sections to include.
Potential sections:
- About the role: paragraph summarizing position purpose, start date, tenure-track, department, in-person, relocation, visa.
- Responsibilities: ul of teaching load, research, advising/service.
- Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications? Or we could split: Requirements = Minimum Qualifications, Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings available. Use Requirements for minimum qualifications, Qualifications for preferred qualifications.
- Skills: maybe not present; we could omit.
- Benefits: ul with campus housing benefit.
- Pay: p with hiring range.
- Schedule: p with Full Time.
We must not include empty sections.

Check for any duplicated content: we have not repeated. Check for any boilerplate: we omitted EEO, application instructions, etc. Check for any placeholders: none. Check for preserving all substantive info: we included start date Fall 2027, department, tenure-track, in-person, relocation, visa, teaching load, research, advising/service, minimum qualifications, preferred qualifications, benefit, pay, schedule. Did we include mention of "Department offers majors..." etc? That's extra info about department but maybe not essential? It's substantive but not required? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information. That includes description of department offerings. Should we include? It's about the department, maybe part of About the role. Could add a sentence: "The Department offers majors in Political Science, Political Science with a concentration in Criminal Justice, and International Studies as well as minors in International Studies, Political Science, Pre-Law Studies, and Public Affairs." That is substantive. We should include. Also mention "Faculty within the Department have diverse research interests, value high quality teaching, and share a strong commitment to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion." That's also substantive. Could include in About the role. Also mention "For more information about Pacific’s Political Science department, visit: ..." That's a link; maybe we can include as a note but it's a URL. Might be considered substantive but it's a reference. Could include as a link in About the role. But we must not include application instructions etc. The link is okay. We need to decide if we should include that. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information. So we should include that URL. Thus About the role paragraph could be longer, maybe multiple sentences. We must not include duplicated lines; the URL appears only once. Let's incorporate: About the role: The Department of Political Science, Law, and International Studies invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor specializing in Public Law, with a start date of Fall 2027. The position is based at the Stockton campus and is an in-person role requiring relocation within California, preferably within 25 miles of the Pacific campus. Visa sponsorship is not available. The Department offers majors in Political Science, Political Science with a concentration in Criminal Justice, and International Studies as well as minors in International Studies, Political Science, Pre-Law Studies, and Public Affairs. Faculty within the Department have diverse research interests, value high quality teaching, and share a strong commitment to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. For more information about Pacific’s Political Science department, visit: http://www.pacific.edu/Academics/Schools-and-Colleges/College-of-the-Pacific/Academics/Departments-and-Programs/political-science.html That seems good. Now Responsibilities: we already have. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications. Benefits: campus housing. Pay: hiring range. Schedule: Full-time. Check for any other substantive info: "Open Date 06/01/2026 Close Date Open Until Filled Yes" - that's metadata about posting; we are told not to put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings, but we could fold minor metadata into a shortor drop it. The open date etc is minor metadata; we could drop it as per instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can drop open/close dates. "Days Per Week Weeks Per Year" not given. "Position Description Primary Purpose And Essential Functions" we captured. "Note:This is an in-person role, and the successful candidate must be willing to relocate within California, preferably within 25 miles of the (Stockton) Pacific campus.This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship." captured.
