We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Job Summary, Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), Qualifications (Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications), Working Conditions/Schedule (includes Salary Range, Anticipated Start Date, Anticipated End Date). Also maybe Benefits? Not present. Pay? Salary range is given, so we can include Pay section. Schedule? Anticipated start date maybe schedule? Could include Schedule section with start date. But we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. Salary range is specific: $75,000 - $90,000. So Pay section. Schedule: Anticipated Start Date 2027-03-29, Anticipated End Date (blank?). It says Anticipated End Date (no value). That's not specific; we might omit End Date. Could still include schedule with start date. But "Anticipated End Date" is not given; we could omit that line. The schedule section could contain start date. However the instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state Salary Range and Anticipated Start Date. So we can include Pay and Schedule sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which headings to use based on content. We have Job Summary (could be About the role). Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities). Qualifications (Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications). Skills? Could be part of Qualifications. But we can combine Required and Preferred under Qualifications heading. Or we could have Requirements heading for required qualifications and Skills for preferred? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have About the role (Job Summary), Responsibilities, Qualifications (combining required and preferred), Pay, Schedule. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. The posting says "Starting salary will be commensurate with skills, education, and experience." That's filler; we should not include that as substantive content. But we have Salary Range specific $75,000 - $90,000, which is substantive. So we include Pay with that range. The "commensurate" line can be omitted. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like: full-time (1.00 FTE), 9-month, tenure-track Assistant Professor position. Join Oregon State University’s nationally recognized berry research and extension program and contribute to innovative, applied research that directly impacts the Pacific Northwest blueberry industry. This position offers an exciting opportunity to work at the intersection of horticultural science, technology innovation, and grower outreach. The Project Manager will work closely with the Project Director, faculty investigators, research staff, industry partners, and other stakeholders to facilitate effective communication and coordination across the project team. Responsibilities will include developing and maintaining project schedules; coordinating meetings and offsite research activities; monitoring project progress, spending and documenting accomplishments; assisting with preparation of annual NIFA reports, technical reports, presentations, and other project deliverables; and maintaining organized project data records and documentation. Then Key Responsibilities list bullet points. Qualifications: Required Qualifications list bullet points (doctorate degree, evidence of successful teaching experience, evidence of successful publication record, demonstrated success and commitment to effective teaching, demonstrated success and commitment to research, demonstrated success and commitment to scholarship, demonstrated success and commitment to service, commitment to promoting and enhancing inclusive excellence, demonstrated skills in verbal and written communication, demonstrated ability to work collaboratively, plus note about criminal history check). Preferred Qualifications list bullet points. We need to preserve all substantive info; we should not drop any of those bullet points. However we can combine required and preferred under Qualifications heading with subheadings? But we cannot add extra headings beyond allowed list? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. Likely we should stick to those. We could have Qualifications heading and inside we can have

or

    with all qualifications. Could separate required and preferred with or just list all. But we need to preserve distinction? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we merge required and preferred without indicating which is required vs preferred, we lose that distinction. That's summarizing away detail. So we need to keep that distinction. We could have two subsections: Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications as

    ? Not allowed? The instruction only mentions using

    for section headings, but doesn't forbid other heading levels. However to be safe, we could use

    for Required Qualifications and another

    for Preferred Qualifications? But that would duplicate heading type. Might be okay. But the instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies those are the allowed section headings. It doesn't say we cannot have other headings, but better to follow. We could embed required and preferred as
      with a preceding

      stating "Required Qualifications:" and then list, then another

      "Preferred Qualifications:" then list. That preserves the info without extra headings. That seems acceptable. Similarly for Responsibilities: we have a paragraph describing responsibilities then a list of Key Responsibilities. We can combine. We need to remove boilerplate: Special Instructions To Applicants, etc. Also remove lines like "For Additional Information Please Contact Wei Yang wei.yang@oregonstate.edu" maybe keep? It's contact info; is that substantive? It's not a section heading; could be included in About the role? Might be considered contact info; but instruction says remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Contact info might be considered application instructions? It's not exactly instruction to apply but contact for questions. Might be okay to keep? Safer to remove? The instruction says remove application instructions. Contact info is not exactly instruction to apply but could be considered part of application process. I'd remove it to be safe. Also remove "When applying you will be required to attach the following electronic documents: A resume/CV; and A cover letter indicating how your qualifications and experience have prepared you for this position." That's application instructions; remove. Remove "Starting salary will be commensurate with skills, education, and experience." (filler). Remove "For Additional Information Please Contact Wei Yang wei.yang@oregonstate.edu". Remove EEO statements etc. Keep: Job Summary paragraph, Responsibilities paragraph, Key Responsibilities list, Required Qualifications list, Preferred Qualifications list, Working Conditions/Salary Range, Anticipated Start Date. Also note about criminal history check etc. That's part of Required Qualifications? It's a note after Required Qualifications. Should preserve. Also note about "This position is designated as a critical or security-sensitive position; therefore, the incumbent must successfully complete a criminal history check and be determined to be position qualified as per University Standard: 05-010 et seq. Incumbents are required to self-report convictions and those in youth programs may have additional criminal history checks every 24 months." That's substantive; keep. Also note about "Working Conditions/Schedule Salary Range: $75,000 - $90,000 Anticipated Start Date 2027-03-29 Anticipated End Date". We'll keep Salary Range and Anticipated Start Date. Anticipated End Date is not given; we can omit. Now construct HTML. Structure:

      We need to format date as given: 2027-03-29. Could keep as is. Check for any other substantive info: "full-time (1.00 FTE), 9-month, tenure-track Assistant Professor position." Include in About the role. Also "Join Oregon State University’s nationally recognized berry research and extension program and contribute to innovative, applied research that directly impacts the Pacific Northwest blueberry industry." etc. Also "This position offers an exciting opportunity to work at the intersection of horticultural science, technology innovation, and grower outreach." etc. Also "The Project Manager will work closely with the Project Director, faculty investigators, research staff, industry partners, and other stakeholders to facilitate effective communication and coordination across the project team." etc. Also "Responsibilities will include developing and maintaining project schedules; coordinating meetings and offsite research activities; monitoring project progress, spending and documenting accomplishments; assisting with preparation of annual NIFA reports, technical reports, presentations, and other project deliverables; and maintaining organized project data records and documentation." That's a paragraph; we can include that as part of Responsibilities paragraph before the list. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The "Key Responsibilities" list includes many items; we need to include all. Let's list them exactly: - Provide administrative leadership for the SCRI project. - Implement project strategies to achieve research, extension, education, and commercialization objectives. - Lead project implementation, evaluation, and continuous improvement activities. - Ensure project activities align with USDA-NIFA SCRI goals and stakeholder priorities. - Oversee day-to-day project operations across multiple institutions and disciplines. - Coordinate activities among co-PIs, research staff, extension personnel, students, and industry collaborators. - Convene and facilitate project meetings, advisory board meetings, and stakeholder engagement activities. - Monitor project milestones, deliverables, timelines, and performance metrics. - Resolve operational challenges and ensure timely completion of project objectives. - Oversee project budgets and resource allocation across participating institutions.
