We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Overview, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Minimum Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities, Contract Type, Why Work at Auburn? Possibly Benefits? The "Why Work at Auburn?" includes benefits description but not explicit benefits list. Should we include Benefits section? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. "Why Work at Auburn?" includes statements about benefits, culture, etc. Could treat as Benefits? Might be better as a section "About the role" for overview, then Responsibilities, Qualifications, Minimum Knowledge..., Contract Type, Why Work at Auburn? But we need headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map content to these headings. The posting does not give Pay or Schedule specifics (teaching load 3-2 is schedule? Actually schedule maybe teaching load; but schedule heading is for work schedule like full-time/part-time, not teaching load. Probably not include Schedule. Pay not given. Benefits: "Why Work at Auburn?" includes benefits description; we could put that under Benefits. Requirements: could be Minimum Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. Qualifications: we have Qualifications section. Skills: maybe not separate; could combine with Requirements? But we should only include sections with real content. Let's decide sections: About the role (overview), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements (Minimum Knowledge...), Benefits (Why Work at Auburn?), Contract Type maybe not in list; but we could put Contract Type under About the role or as a separate section? Not in allowed headings; we could omit or fold into About the role. The instruction: Use headings from list; we can also add other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings when appropriate. We can also add other headings? Probably better to stick to those. So we need to map content to those headings.
About the role: overview paragraph (including start date, interdisciplinary, etc.)
Responsibilities: list of duties.
Qualifications: the qualifications section (PhD, fluency, teaching record, research plan, etc.)
Requirements: Minimum Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (eligibility to work in US, etc.) Could also include contract type? but we can put contract type in About the role.
Skills: maybe not needed; we could omit if no specific skills beyond those already covered. But we could list skills like communication, interdisciplinary collaboration, etc. However the posting already mentions excellent communication skills required. Could put under Skills.
Benefits: "Why Work at Auburn?" content.
Pay: not given -> omit.
Schedule: teaching load 3-2 could be considered schedule? Might be considered schedule but it's teaching load, not work schedule. Might be okay to include Schedule with teaching load? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state teaching load (3-2). That's a schedule aspect. So we can include Schedule with that detail.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Schedule.
Now we need to preserve all substantive information, no boilerplate, no duplicated lines, no application instructions, no EEO, etc.
We need to extract content.
Let's parse:
Overview Assistant Professor, Spanish Linguistics The Department of World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at Auburn University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Spanish Linguistics (applicants with an empirical and applied linguistics profile are encouraged to apply). The appointment will begin in August 2027. We seek a colleague with a strong interdisciplinary research agenda and willingness to collaborate across projects and areas. Review of applications will begin October 5, 2026 and will continue until a suitable candidate has been selected. Auburn University is understanding of and sensitive to the family needs of faculty, including dual-career couples” http://www.auburn.edu/academic/provost/facultyjobs/ . Only candidates who have uploaded all the required documents will be considered. Additional materials may be requested at a later stage in the selection process.
We need to remove navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove the URL? Probably keep as part of overview? It's a link; but we can keep as plain text? Might be considered boilerplate? It's a link to faculty jobs; maybe keep but it's not essential. Could drop as it's just a reference. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The URL is not exactly those; but it's a link to more info. Might be considered navigation? Safer to drop it.
Also remove "Only candidates who have uploaded all the required documents will be considered. Additional materials may be requested at a later stage in the selection process." That's application instructions; drop.
Thus About the role paragraph: combine the overview info: tenure-track Assistant Professor of Spanish Linguistics, empirical/applied linguistics encouraged, appointment begins August 2027, seeking colleague with strong interdisciplinary research agenda, willingness to collaborate, review begins Oct 5 2026, continues until suitable candidate selected, Auburn University understanding of family needs, dual-career couples.
We could also mention tenure-track.
Now Responsibilities: list:
- This position carries a 3-2 teaching load.
- Responsibilities include in-person teaching: a yearly Spanish Teaching Methodology graduate course, undergraduate Spanish language courses with an emphasis on Spanish for the Professions, and graduate courses in Spanish linguistics.
- The successful candidate will be expected to maintain an active research program, contribute to curricular innovation, and participate in departmental and university service.
- Excellent communication skills required.
We need to format as
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings when appropriate. We can also add other headings? Probably better to stick to those. So we need to map content to those headings.

Now Responsibilities: list:
- This position carries a 3-2 teaching load.
- Responsibilities include in-person teaching: a yearly Spanish Teaching Methodology graduate course, undergraduate Spanish language courses with an emphasis on Spanish for the Professions, and graduate courses in Spanish linguistics.
- The successful candidate will be expected to maintain an active research program, contribute to curricular innovation, and participate in departmental and university service.
- Excellent communication skills required.
We need to format as - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So responsibilities list items.
Now Qualifications: list:
- Applicants must hold a PhD at the time employment begins in Spanish Linguistics (Sociolinguistics, Applied Sociolinguistics, or a closely related field) and have a native or near-native fluency in Spanish and English.
- Applicants must also showcase a strong record of effective teaching at the college/university level, a well-developed plan of research and scholarship, and a genuine interest in interdisciplinary collaboration.
- Additional desirable qualifications include experience with Languages for Specific Purposes (LSP), particularly Spanish for the Professions; familiarity with innovative and current language pedagogies and multimedia technologies such as Canvas; and experience designing or implementing forward‑thinking, innovative curricula.
We can format as list.
Now Requirements (Minimum Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities): The candidate selected must be able to meet eligibility requirements to work in the united States at the time the appointment is scheduled to begin and continue working legally during employment. Contract Type Continuing.
We could combine eligibility and contract type. As list.
Now Skills: maybe list communication skills, interdisciplinary collaboration, etc. But we already have communication skills in responsibilities; also interdisciplinary collaboration in qualifications. Could still create Skills section with items: Excellent communication skills, Interdisciplinary collaboration, Experience with LSP, Familiarity with innovative pedagogies and multimedia technologies (Canvas), Curriculum design. However that duplicates qualifications. Might be better to omit Skills if no distinct content. But we have communication skills already listed; we could still include Skills with that. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we omit Skills and incorporate communication skills elsewhere. But we already have communication in responsibilities; we could keep it there. So we can omit Skills.
Benefits: "Why Work at Auburn?" content:
- Life-Changing Impact: Our work changes lives through research, instruction, and outreach, making a lasting impact on our students, our communities, and the world.
- Culture of Excellence: We are committed to leveraging our strengths, resources, collaboration, and innovation as a top employer in higher education.
- We’re Here for You: Auburn offers generous benefits, educational opportunities, and a culture of support and work/life balance.
- Sweet Home Alabama: The Auburn/Opelika area offers southern charm, vibrant downtown scenes, top-ranked schools, and easy access to Atlanta, Birmingham, and the Gulf of Mexico beaches.
- A Place for Everyone: Auburn is committed to fostering an environment where all faculty, staff, and students are welcomed, valued, respected, and engaged.
- Ready to lead and shape the future of higher education? Apply today! War Eagle!
We need to remove application instruction "Apply today!" maybe considered application instruction? It's a call to apply; but it's part of benefits section? Might be considered application instruction; but it's also a motivational tagline. The instruction says remove application instructions. "Apply today!" is an application instruction. So we should drop that line. Also "War Eagle!" maybe keep as slogan? Not instruction. Could keep.
Thus Benefits section list items.
Schedule: teaching load 3-2. Could be a single item: "Teaching load: 3-2 (three courses per fall semester, two per spring semester)". The posting just says 3-2 teaching load. We'll output that.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with
headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
Now produce HTML.
Let's craft:

Check for any leftover boilerplate: removed EEO, etc.
