Assistant Professor, Psychological Science, Clinical
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". So we need to parse the description.

Screening of applications will continue until position is filled.

We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe description of position, department, location), Responsibilities (teaching, research, service), Requirements (maybe ABD condition?), Qualifications (PhD required), Skills (maybe preference areas?), Benefits (none given), Pay (none), Schedule (full-time, 9-month, tenure-track, start date). We should only include sections with real specific content.
We have location info, department description, collaborations, etc. That could be "About the role". Responsibilities: teaching, research, service. Requirements: maybe ABD condition? Actually ABD is part of qualifications. But we can treat "Required Qualifications" as Qualifications section. "Skills" could be preference areas: introduction to psychopathology, intro to clinical neuroscience, learning and behavioral disorders. Also interest in undergraduate education, involving undergraduates in research, contributing to general education teaching and advising, departmental service. Those could be skills/preferences.
Benefits: none explicit. Pay: none. Schedule: we have full-time, 9-month, tenure-track, start date July 30, 2027. That's schedule info.
Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule. Possibly also Requirements? But we have Qualifications covering PhD requirement. Could also include Requirements as ABD condition? But ABD is part of qualifications. Might combine.
We must not create sections with filler. So we will include only those with content.
We need to use for each section heading. Then content: use
for prose,
- for lists.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't put "Assistant Professor" as heading.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none present).
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes some application instructions: "Applicants should submit the following: Letter of application ... Curriculum vitae Three Letters of Recommendation ... Teaching Philosophy and Experience Optional Transcript". Those are application instructions; we need to remove them per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should omit the list of application materials. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; but application instructions are considered boilerplate to remove. So we should not include that list.
Similarly, "Screening of applications will continue until position is filled." maybe considered boilerplate? It's part of process; but maybe we keep? It's not explicitly listed as boilerplate but could be considered application instructions. Safer to remove? The instruction says remove application instructions. That includes "Applicants should submit the following:" and the list. Also "Screening of applications will continue until position is filled." could be considered part of process but not exactly instruction to apply. Might keep? I'd keep it as part of responsibilities? Not exactly. Might be considered administrative detail; but it's not a duty. Could be omitted as it's not substantive about role. I'd keep it maybe under Responsibilities? Not sure. Safer to omit.
We must preserve all substantive information: details about position, department, collaborations, location, teaching load, research, lab spaces, funding opportunities, preference areas, ABD condition, start date, etc.
Thus we need to craft sections.
About the role: include description: full-time, 9-month, tenure-track position to begin July 30, 2027. Department of Psychological Science and Counseling description, programs, college, collaborations, location info (Clarksville, TN, Money Magazine ranking, cost of living, interstate access, nearby cities). Also link to department and APSU about page.
We must preserve links? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Should we keep URLs as plain text? Probably yes, we can include them as part of prose. Not as headings.
Responsibilities: Teaching responsibilities: range of undergraduate courses including PSYC 1030 – Introduction to Psychology and courses in specialty area. Preference for intro to psychopathology, intro to clinical neuroscience, learning and behavioral disorders. Teaching load 12 hours each semester, can include credit for leading research teams of undergrad researchers. Summer teaching opportunities available. Research activity required, scholarship activities involving undergraduates encouraged. Department has lab spaces, collaborative developmental and play observation/lab space. University has funding opportunities for research and teaching equipment. Candidates who demonstrate strong interest in undergraduate education and involving undergraduates in research, contributing to general education teaching and advising, and departmental service preferred. Applicant review begins immediately and continues until filled. More info about department and programs on website.
We could split some of that into Skills (preference areas) and Responsibilities (teaching load, research, service). But we need to follow instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can list duties as
- .
Qualifications: Ph.D. in Psychology required, area of specialization open. ABD considered if Ph.D. completed by July 30, 2027.

Schedule: full-time, 9-month, tenure-track, start date July 30, 2027.
We should not include Benefits, Pay sections as none.
We must not include empty sections.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We need to ensure we don't include markdown code fences. Just raw HTML.
