Assistant Professor - Spanish Linguistics
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are examples; we could also use other headings if appropriate, but better to stick to those. The "About USF" content is more about the institution; maybe we can incorporate into About the role or omit. Since we have About the role already, we could include a brief About USF paragraph within About the role or as a separate "About the Institution" but not required. Safer to include only the standard headings that have content.
Thus sections:
- About the role: paragraph describing position.
- Responsibilities: - items.
- Qualifications: could split into Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications; we could have a single Qualifications section with subheadings? But instruction only allows h3 for section headings; we could have nested
? Not specified. Better to keep Qualifications as a section with two subsections using or . But we could also split into Requirements and Qualifications? They listed Requirements as possible heading. Could use Requirements for minimum qualifications and Qualifications for preferred? Or combine.
We have Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. We could make a Requirements section for minimum qualifications, and a Qualifications section for preferred. Or we could have one Qualifications section with both.
Given the instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use Requirements and Qualifications as separate headings.
Thus:
- Requirements (minimum qualifications)
- Qualifications (preferred qualifications)
- Benefits
- Pay
- Schedule
We also might include Skills? Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must remove duplicated lines.
We need to extract the responsibilities list:
Responsibilities:
- Conduct, present, and publish research and engage in other professional activities.
- Teach courses primarily in Spanish for the Spanish program at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
- Collaborate, when appropriate, with the graduate programs in Applied Linguistics.
- Participate actively in department, college, and university governance.
Qualifications Minimum Qualifications:
- Doctoral degree from an accredited institution in Spanish Linguistics, Applied Linguistics (Spanish-language focus) or a closely related field by August 7, 2027.
- Must meet university criteria for appointment to the rank of Assistant Professor.
- Native or near-native command of Spanish.
- Excellent communication skills in English.
- Active research agenda.
- Experience teaching at the university level.
Preferred Qualifications:
- A record of publication.
- Research focus on the Caribbean and/or the Spanish-speaking world in the Western Hemisphere.
- Demonstrated success in teaching graduate and undergraduate courses.
Application materials list: we need to preserve? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should drop the "When applying, please upload the following:" list and the recommendation details. Also drop "Conclusion of this search is subject to final budget approval." etc. Also remove legal boilerplate.
We also need to preserve the salary info: "Salary is negotiable."
Schedule: "nine-month, full-time, tenure-track position" plus start date August 7, 2027 maybe part of About the role.
Benefits: from "Our first-class benefits package includes medical, dental and life insurance plans, retirement plan options, employee and dependent tuition programs, generous leave, and hundreds of employee perks and discounts."
Also there is another benefits description later: "Our first-class benefits package includes medical, dental and life insurance plans, retirement plan options, employee and dependent tuition programs, generous leave, and hundreds of employee perks and discounts." That's duplicated; we should include once.
Also there is a paragraph about USF: "The University of South Florida is a top-ranked research university serving approximately 50,000 students from across the globe at campuses in Tampa, St. Petersburg and USF Health..." etc. That's about the institution; we could include as part of About the role or maybe a separate "About USF" but not required. Since we have About the role, we could incorporate that info there to preserve all substantive info. However the About the role currently only has the invitation sentence. We could expand About the role to include description of the department and university. That would preserve info.
Thus About the role paragraph: combine the invitation sentence and the description of USF (the top-ranked research university etc). Ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO etc.
We need to avoid duplication: there are two similar paragraphs about USF (one earlier, one later). We'll combine unique info.
Let's gather unique substantive info about USF:
From first block:
"The University of South Florida is a top-ranked research university serving approximately 50,000 students from across the globe at campuses in Tampa, St. Petersburg and USF Health. In 2025, U.S. News & World Report recognized USF with its highest overall ranking in university history, as a top 50 public university for the seventh consecutive year and as one of the top 15 best values among all public universities in the nation. U.S. News also ranks the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine in the highest tier, placing it as one of the top 16 medical schools in the nation and inside the top 10 among public universities. USF is a member of the Association of American Universities (AAU), a group that includes only the top 3% of universities in the U.S. With an all-time high of $750 million in research funding in 2025 and as a top 20 public university for producing U.S. patents, USF uses innovation to transform lives and shape a better future. The university generates an annual economic impact of nearly $10 billion for the state of Florida. USF’s Division I athletics teams compete in the American Conference. Learn more at www.usf.edu ."
Second block (About Us):
"About USF The University of South Florida is a top-ranked research university serving approximately 50,000 students from across the globe at campuses in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota-Manatee and USF Health. USF is recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a top 50 public university and the best value in Florida. U.S. News also ranks the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine as the No. 1 medical school in Florida and in the highest tier nationwide. USF is a member of the Association of American Universities (AAU), a group that includes only the top 3% of universities in the U.S. With an all-time high of $738 million in research funding in 2024 and as a top 20 public university for producing U.S. patents, USF uses innovation to transform lives and shape a better future. The university generates an annual economic impact of more than $6 billion. USF’s Division I athletics teams compete in the American Athletic Conference. Learn more at www.usf.edu ."
We need to preserve all substantive info; but there are contradictions: numbers differ (750M vs 738M, economic impact $10B vs $6B, conference names). We must keep both? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should include both statements, even if they conflict. However we should avoid duplication of identical sentences; but these are not identical; they have different numbers and years. So we should include both paragraphs, maybe as separate
under About the role.
Thus About the role will contain multiple paragraphs: the invitation sentence, then the first USF description block, then the second USF description block (About Us). That preserves all.

We should not include any other headings like Skills.

Also "Conclusion of this search is subject to final budget approval." removed. Also "According to Florida Law, applications and meetings regarding them are open to the public." removed. Also "USF is an Equal Opportunity/Equal Access Institution." removed. Also "For disability accommodations, contact Ms. Alana Harris..." removed. Also "The University of South Florida is a top-ranked research university..." we kept. Also "Learn more at www.usf.edu" we can keep as part of description; it's not boilerplate? It's a link; but it's okay to keep.
Now produce HTML fragment: no or . Use for each section heading.
