We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job description. Let's extract sections: - About the role: The first paragraph(s) describing role: "Kansas College of Osteopathic Medicine is seeking a highly collaborative, productive, and mission-driven Assistant Professor of Research to help expand a strong culture of scholarship across the institution. This is a hands-on, output-driven position for someone who thrives on mentoring others, building research pipelines, and helping students and faculty turn good ideas into meaningful scholarly work. The person in this role will partner closely with medical students, clinical faculty, and community collaborators to develop feasible, rigorous, and publishable projects that move efficiently from concept to completion. This is not a purely theoretical research role. It is a high-engagement faculty position centered on daily mentorship, project momentum, and tangible academic outcomes. The ideal candidate will be someone who can manage multiple concurrent projects, provide strong methodological guidance, and consistently help others produce abstracts, posters, manuscripts, and grant-ready ideas." - Why This Role Matters: Could be part of About the role or separate. Could be "Why This Role Matters" as a heading? Not in list of allowed headings but we can treat as part of About the role. However we can also create a separate section "Impact" but not in allowed list. The allowed headings are limited: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we must map content to those. Responsibilities: The "Specific Responsibilities" bullet list. Requirements: Might be "Qualification(s)"? Actually they have "Qualification(s)" with Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could map Required Qualifications to Requirements, Preferred Qualifications to Skills? Or Qualifications section for required, Skills for preferred? The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. Likely Requirements = required qualifications, Qualifications = preferred? Or maybe Requirements = required qualifications, Qualifications = preferred qualifications. Skills could be derived from key competencies. But we have "Key Competencies" list: applied research design and execution, student mentorship and faculty coaching, manuscript and abstract development, project management and accountability, scholarly productivity, grant development support, teaching in research-related content areas. That could go under Skills. Benefits: The paragraph about benefits: "Kansas Health Science University offers a generous compensation and benefits package, as well as the opportunity to work for a leader in the field of education. Some of our key benefits include: generous paid time-off, medical and dental coverage, company-paid life and disability insurance, retirement plan with employer contribution, multiple flexible spending accounts (FSA), tuition reimbursement, professional development, and regular employee appreciation events." Pay: Not specified. No salary info. So we should NOT include Pay section because no specific content. Schedule: Not specified. So omit. We also have "Opportunity for Impact" paragraph; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section but not allowed. We'll incorporate into About the role. We also have "The essential physical and mental requirements..." and disclaimer, EEO etc. Those are boilerplate to remove. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the description, but we can rephrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Means we should not omit details, but we can reformat. Likely we should keep the same sentences, just restructure into HTML. Thus we need to include all bullet points and paragraphs. Let's extract content: About the role: combine first paragraph(s) up to "Why This Role Matters"? Actually "Why This Role Matters" is a heading but we can incorporate its content into About the role. Content of Why This Role Matters: "This position is designed to strengthen the institution’s research infrastructure by expanding mentorship capacity, increasing scholarly productivity, and supporting student and faculty success. The individual in this role will play a central part in building and sustaining an active pipeline of scholarships across the medical school. Projects may include case reports, systematic and scoping reviews, retrospective chart reviews, pilot studies, survey-based studies, quality improvement initiatives, and community-based or population health research." We'll include that. Responsibilities: The bullet list under "Specific Responsibilities". Let's list each bullet as
