EducationFull-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: - Position Summary: Course load is 2-2; teaching responsibilities include MA seminars, upper- and lower-level courses in Shakespeare and/or early modern literature, and literature courses in the university’s Core Curriculum. Candidates are expected to demonstrate innovative pedagogy and a commitment to creating inclusive learning and working environments for diverse populations. In addition to teaching courses at the graduate and undergraduate level, this individual will be expected to publish and engage in scholarly activity in the field, participate in departmental, College, and University service, and contribute to the University’s community outreach efforts. A one-semester paid research leave is guaranteed before application for tenure. - Qualifications: An earned Ph.D. in English or a related field is required for the position; ABD candidates are invited to apply. Qualified applicants will demonstrate research and teaching expertise in Shakespeare and Renaissance literature, with possible emphases including but not limited to drama and performance and/or global and transnational studies. We encourage applications from candidates whose work intersects with departments and programs on the WFU campus including Medieval and Early Modern Studies, Theater and Dance, African-American Studies, Environment and Sustainability Studies, and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. - About Wake Forest University: description. - Location info. - Application instructions (should be removed). Also EEO statements removed. - Pay: Not mentioned explicitly. There's "one-semester paid research leave" but not salary. So we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does not state salary, so omit Pay. - Schedule: Not mentioned; maybe course load 2-2 implies teaching schedule but not explicit schedule. Probably omit Schedule. - Benefits: Not mentioned besides research leave. Could treat research leave as benefit? But guidelines: only create Benefits section if posting actually states them. It mentions "A one-semester paid research leave is guaranteed before application for tenure." That's a benefit. So we could include Benefits section with that detail. - Skills: Not explicit; maybe "innovative pedagogy" etc. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. Probably not separate Skills. - About the role: Could be position summary. Thus sections: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (teaching, publishing, service, outreach), Qualifications (PhD required, ABD invited, expertise, intersections), Benefits (one-semester paid research leave). Possibly also include a short paragraph for metadata like location? But we should not repeat job title. Could include a short p for location? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we could include a short p for location info? It's not minor metadata? It's location description. Might be okay to include as a p under About the role? But we already have About the role section for position summary. Could add a p after that about location. However we must not invent sections. Could just include location info as a p within About the role or as a separate section? There's no heading for location. Better to incorporate location info into About the role section as a p after the summary. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from posting except boilerplate. Let's extract substantive content: - Position: tenure-track faculty position as Assistant Professor of Shakespeare Studies and Early Modern British Literature, effective July 1, 2027. - Qualifications: Ph.D. required; ABD invited. - Expertise: research and teaching expertise in Shakespeare and Renaissance literature, possible emphases drama and performance and/or global and transnational studies. - Intersections encouraged with listed departments/programs. - Position Summary: Course load 2-2; teaching responsibilities include MA seminars, upper- and lower-level courses in Shakespeare and/or early modern literature, and literature courses in the university’s Core Curriculum.

In addition to teaching, expected to publish and engage in scholarly activity, participate in departmental, College, and University service, contribute to community outreach.

But we might split location into its own paragraph. Next,

Responsibilities

maybe duplicate of above; but we already included responsibilities in About the role. However guidelines: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine About the role and Responsibilities into one section? But we need to follow headings list: we can use About the role for summary, Responsibilities for duties. However we risk duplication. Better to have About the role include position summary and location; Responsibilities include teaching, publishing, service, outreach. Qualifications include PhD, ABD, expertise, intersections. Benefits include research leave. Let's do:

About the role

Responsibilities

  • Teach MA seminars, upper‑ and lower‑level courses in Shakespeare and/or early modern literature.

  • Demonstrate innovative pedagogy and a commitment to creating inclusive learning and working environments for diverse populations.
  • Publish and engage in scholarly activity in the field.
  • Participate in departmental, College, and University service.
  • Contribute to the University’s community outreach efforts.

Qualifications

  • Earned Ph.D. in English or a related field required; ABD candidates invited to apply.
  • Demonstrate research and teaching expertise in Shakespeare and Renaissance literature, with possible emphases including drama and performance and/or global and transnational studies.
  • Encouraged to have work intersecting with departments and programs on campus: Medieval and Early Modern Studies, Theater and Dance, African‑American Studies, Environment and Sustainability Studies, Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.

Benefits

We should not include Pay or Schedule sections. Check that we preserved all substantive info: we included position title, effective date, location, responsibilities (teaching, pedagogy, publishing, service, outreach), qualifications (PhD, ABD, expertise, intersections), benefits (research leave). We also included info about Wake Forest University? Actually we omitted the description of the university (founded, size, motto, etc). That is substantive info about the institution. Should we include it? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The description of Wake Forest University is substantive. We need to include it somewhere. Could add a section "About Wake Forest University" but headings list only includes specific headings; we could add a

About the institution

but not in allowed list? The list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive? It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. But we could incorporate university description into About the role or maybe a separate paragraph under About the role. The About the role section could include description of the university. However About the role is meant for role description; but we can add a paragraph about the university there. That would preserve info. Thus modify About the role to include university description. Let's craft:

That covers university description. Now check we didn't miss any substantive info: The posting also mentions "Position Summary: Course load is 2-2; teaching responsibilities include MA seminars, upper- and lower-level courses in Shakespeare and/or early modern literature, and literature courses in the university’s Core Curriculum." We included those in responsibilities list. Also "Candidates are expected to demonstrate innovative pedagogy and a commitment to creating inclusive learning and working environments for diverse populations." included. "In addition to teaching courses at the graduate and undergraduate level, this individual will be expected to publish and engage in scholarly activity in the field, participate in departmental, College, and University service, and contribute to the University’s community outreach efforts." included.
