Key parts:
- Position Title: Assistant Professor of Special Education (but we don't repeat as heading)
- Job Category: Faculty
- Employment Type: Regular
- Job Profile: Assistant Professor
- Position Summary: The School of Education seeks two full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professors of Special Education with an anticipated start date of August 2027. The successful candidates will teach undergraduate courses in special education and professional education, engage in research and professional activity, and contribute to university and departmental service. Candidates with experience teaching in rural settings are especially encouraged to apply, in alignment with the School of Education’s mission to meet the needs of rural communities. The Universities of Wisconsin has a nationally top ranked retirement plan and a comprehensive benefits package. Salary for this position is $60,000-$64,000 per academic year, commensurate with qualifications and experience.
We need to include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It states salary range $60,000-$64,000 per academic year, but also says "commensurate with qualifications and experience." The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does state a salary range, so we can include Pay section with that range. However we must avoid filler like "commensurate with qualifications and experience." We could include just the range. The phrase "commensurate with qualifications and experience" is filler? It's a qualifier but maybe considered filler. The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", ...). So we should not include that phrase. We can just give the range.
Benefits: The posting mentions "nationally top ranked retirement plan and a comprehensive benefits package." That's vague but it's a statement of benefits. It's not specific list. The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state there is a comprehensive benefits package and top ranked retirement plan. That's somewhat specific but not a list. Might be okay to include Benefits section with that statement. However we should avoid filler like "comprehensive benefits package" maybe okay. It's not placeholder like "varies". It's a statement. We'll include Benefits with that sentence.
Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's typical teaching load 12 credits per semester. That could be considered schedule? Might be considered workload. But schedule section is for work schedule (e.g., full-time, part-time). Not given. So we skip Schedule.
About the role: Could be Position Summary. We'll make an About the role section with the summary.
Responsibilities: There's "Key Job Responsibilities" and "Additional Duties Include". We'll combine into Responsibilities section with list items.
Requirements/Qualifications: There's "Required Qualifications". We'll make Requirements or Qualifications section. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We can choose Qualifications. We'll list required qualifications as list.
Skills: Not explicitly listed separate; maybe we can omit Skills if no specific skills beyond qualifications.
We also have "Why It Is Great To Be a Pioneer" which is descriptive about university; maybe could be About the role or separate section like About the institution. But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put that descriptive text under About the role as extra prose.
We must remove boilerplate: Current Employees line, Application Deadline, Required Documents, Legal Notices, etc. Also remove "Application Deadline", "The Following Documents Are Required", "For questions regarding this position, please contact...". Also remove "Legal Notices And Important Information", "UW Is An Equal Opportunity Employer", etc.
We must preserve all substantive information: start date August 2027, tenure-track, teach undergraduate courses, research, service, rural experience encouragement, retirement plan, benefits package, salary range, teaching load 12 credits per semester, responsibilities list, additional duties list, required qualifications list, description of university (Why It Is Great To Be a Pioneer), School of Education description.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. So no
