Assistant Professor/PC of Early Childhood Education
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. Content includes: - About CT State (description of college) - Position Details: posted date, level, employment type, hours, anticipated start date, work location, work modality, closing date. - Position Summary (general teaching faculty duties) - Essential Duties And Responsibilities (list) - Program Coordinator duties (list) - Additional responsibilities (list) - Minimum Qualifications (list) - Preferred Qualifications (list) - Salary and Benefits (salary amount, note about prorated, benefits list) - Application Instructions (but we must remove application instructions per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should drop Application Instructions section entirely. - Important Notes (also part of application instructions) drop. - Selection Process drop? It's part of hiring process; maybe considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Selection Process might be considered part of application instructions; safer to drop. - Background Screening drop. - Equity Statement, Continuing Notice of Nondiscrimination drop (EEO boilerplate). - Powered by JazzHR drop. Thus we keep: About CT State, Position Details (maybe as a short paragraph), Position Summary (maybe as part of Responsibilities?), Essential Duties And Responsibilities, Program Coordinator duties, Additional responsibilities, Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Salary and Benefits. We need to use
for section headings. Choose headings: About CT State, Position Details, Responsibilities (maybe combine essential duties and program coordinator and additional responsibilities?), Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications), Benefits, Pay (salary), Schedule (hours). But we should only include sections if there is real specific content.
We have specific content for:
- About CT State: yes.
- Position Details: includes posted date, level, employment type, hours, anticipated start date, work location, work modality, closing date. That's substantive.
- Responsibilities: we have Essential Duties And Responsibilities, Program Coordinator duties, Additional responsibilities. Could combine under Responsibilities.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications.
- Benefits: CT State offers a comprehensive benefits package, including list.
- Pay: Salary $74,558 approximate annual, note about prorated.
- Schedule: Hours: Full-time, 10-month (30 credit hours per academic year). Also mention teaching schedules may include day and evening classes. That's schedule info.
Thus we can include all eight sections.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Assistant Professor, Program Coordinator". We'll not use that.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like "Prepare and teach college-approved courses..." etc. We'll need to include those as list items under Responsibilities.
We need to avoid duplication: there may be duplicated lines; we should deduplicate.
Let's extract content.

Responsibilities:
We have Essential Duties And Responsibilities (list), Program Coordinator duties (list), Additional responsibilities (list). We'll combine into one Responsibilities section with sublists? The instruction: Use

"CT State offers a comprehensive benefits package, including: Generous leave policiesMultiple retirement plan optionsComprehensive health insurance choicesSupplemental benefits for retirement and family protectionTuition reimbursement (if applicable) For more information, visit: CSCU - Human Resources - Future Employees."
We need to split into list items: Generous leave policies, Multiple retirement plan options, Comprehensive health insurance choices, Supplemental benefits for retirement and family protection, Tuition reimbursement (if applicable). The "For more information..." is a link; we can drop as it's navigation? It's not boilerplate but it's a reference; maybe we can keep as a paragraph? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not those; it's a reference link.
