We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (maybe from Position Description), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Required and Preferred?), Qualifications? The instructions: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section only when posting has real, specific content. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Position Rank and Title: Assistant Professor School/Department Name: School of Information Systems & Technology (SISTech)
- Compensation: Commensurate with qualifications, experience, and rank as established by the CSU Salary Schedule. Anticipated hiring academic year annual salary range: $134,520-$141,246. Faculty employee benefits are very competitive for the higher education sector. See the CSU Employee Benefits Summary for details about the CSU’s excellent benefits package.
- Target Start Date: August 17, 2027
- Application Deadline: October 1, 2026 (Applications accepted until filled or closed)
- Position Description: paragraph about teaching MIS curriculum, research, service, etc.
- Then more about SISTech, SJSU, diversity, etc. (institutional excellence statement).
- Required Qualifications: PhD in MIS, Information Science, Computer Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field, from appropriately accredited institution; Applicant must be qualified as a scholarly academic (SA) according to AACSB standards; Applicants should demonstrate an awareness of and sensitivity to the educational goals of a socially and economically diverse student population as might have been gained in cross-cultural study, training, teaching, and other comparable experience.
- Preferred Qualifications: Priority will be given to candidates who possess one or more of the following: Ability to teach a variety of traditional IS courses; Expertise in Python, R, Data Analytics / Visualization, Project Management or Artificial Intelligence (AI); Collegial, cooperative and collaborative work style; Strong teamwork, communication, interpersonal skills; Demonstrated record of teaching, research, and service excellence.
- Key Responsibilities: list bullet points: Maintain ongoing research activity providing valued contributions relevant to the IS academic community, including peer-reviewed journal papers and conference proceedings.; Deliver engaging, relevant, and timely learning experiences that contribute meaningfully to our students' professional readiness for high-impact careers in IS.; Participate in shared governance, usually in department, college, and university committees and other service assignments.; Organize classes within the university policy guidelines and use the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS).; Demonstrate awareness and experience in understanding the needs of a student population of great diversity – in age, abilities, cultural background, ethnicity, religion, economic background, primary language, sexual orientation, gender identity, and academic preparation – through inclusive course materials, teaching strategies, and advisement.
- Other Duties: includes mandated reporter, Clery Act, training, etc. This is boilerplate legal; we should remove as per instructions: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Other Duties" includes legal compliance; likely considered boilerplate and should be removed. However, some of it may be substantive? It's about mandated reporter, Clery Act, training, etc. This is likely legal boilerplate; we should remove.
- Application Procedure: includes instructions to apply, documents required, contact email, etc. We should remove application instructions per instructions: remove application instructions. So we should not include that section.
- Conditional Offer: includes work location, residence, background checks, etc. This is also somewhat boilerplate but includes specifics: work must be performed in State of California, requires establishing an on-campus presence, employment contingent upon US residence and proof of eligibility to work in the US, background checks required. This might be considered substantive? The instruction says remove boilerplate, legal, EEO, etc. This is more about employment conditions; might be considered boilerplate but also specific. However, they said "remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The conditional offer includes legal aspects (background checks). Might be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to remove it.
- Equal Employment Statement: definitely boilerplate, remove.
- Campus Security and Fire Safety Notification: boilerplate, remove.
Thus we keep: Position Description (maybe as About the role), Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), Requirements (maybe combine Required and Preferred?), Qualifications? Actually we have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could split into Requirements (required) and Preferred (maybe as Skills?). But instructions list possible headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About the role: could be the Position Description paragraph (the narrative about teaching, research, service, location, etc.)
- Responsibilities: the Key Responsibilities list.
- Requirements: Required Qualifications.
- Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications? Or we could treat Preferred as Skills? But they have Skills heading separate. Could put Preferred Qualifications under Skills? Or we could have both Requirements and Qualifications sections: Requirements = Required Qualifications; Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications. Or we could combine them into Requirements and Skills.
- Benefits: we have "Faculty employee benefits are very competitive for the higher education sector. See the CSU Employee Benefits Summary for details about the CSU’s excellent benefits package." That's somewhat vague but mentions benefits are competitive and refers to summary. It's not specific details like health insurance, retirement, etc. The instruction says: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state that benefits are very competitive and refer to summary. That's somewhat substantive but not detailed. Might still count as benefits content. However, they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." This is thin. Could we include Benefits? It does mention benefits are competitive; we could include a short paragraph. But we must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Benefits statement is not filler; it's a claim. I'd include Benefits section with that sentence.
- Pay: we have compensation: "Commensurate with qualifications, experience, and rank as established by the CSU Salary Schedule. Anticipated hiring academic year annual salary range: $134,520-$141,246". That's specific salary range. So we should include Pay section with that info.
- Schedule: we have Target Start Date: August 17, 2027. Also maybe mention academic year? Not schedule like part-time/full-time. Could include Schedule section with start date. The instruction: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state target start date. So we can include Schedule.
We should not include Application Deadline? That's application instruction; we remove.
We should not include Target Start Date? Actually we used that for Schedule.
We should not include Position Rank and Title? Already not heading.
We should not include School/Department Name? Could be part of About the role.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the salary range exactly, benefits statement, start date, etc.
We need to format as HTML fragment: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section only when posting has real, specific content. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive info.
