We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We have content: Position Overview (which could be "About the role"). Responsibilities (list). Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (Skills). Department Overview (maybe not needed). About Boise State (maybe not needed). Minimum qualifications (Requirements). Preferred qualifications (Qualifications). Salary and Benefits (Pay and Benefits). No explicit Schedule but mentions occasional year-round travel, some evening/weekend work. That could be Schedule? It's not explicit schedule like "full-time, 10-month". Could include Schedule section if we have info: "full-time, 10-month renewable appointment". Also occasional travel, evening/weekend work. So we can include Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: application instructions, contact email? Actually contact email is part of posting but maybe considered application instructions? It says "For questions regarding this position, please contact Jon Schneider at jonschneider@boisestate.edu." That's contact info; maybe we can keep as minor metadata in a short

. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." Contact email is minor metadata; we can include in a

maybe under About the role? Or separate? Probably we can include a short

with contact info. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting: responsibilities percentages, duties, etc. Must not omit. We need to format responsibilities as

  • . For each bullet under Responsibilities May Include: we have subcategories with percentages. We could keep them as list items, maybe with sub-bullets? The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a top-level list for responsibilities, each item can contain the subtext (including nested lists? Might be okay but we should keep simple). Could embed paragraphs inside
    • . Probably fine. Similarly for Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: list items. Minimum qualifications: list items. Preferred qualifications: list items. Benefits: list items from bullet list. Pay: we have salary $70,000 yearly, renewable 10-month contract with pay and benefits spread over 12 months. So we can put in

      under Pay. Schedule: we have full-time, 10-month renewable appointment; occasional year-round travel; some evening or weekend work. So we can put in

      under Schedule. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:

      We must ensure we didn't repeat job title. Good. Check for any boilerplate: We removed "For more information, please visit ..." we kept that in About the role; it's okay. We kept contact email. We removed "Closing Date: Applications will be accepted through October 11, 2026." That's application instruction; we should remove it. Indeed we removed it. Also removed "Required application materials: ..." etc. Good. Check that we preserved all substantive information: Did we miss anything? Let's review original: - Position Overview paragraph: we included. - Responsibilities May Include: we included all subpoints. - Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: we included. - Department Overview: we omitted; is that substantive? It describes CIP and IPS. Might be considered substantive but not required headings; we could include as part of About the role? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could embed department overview in About the role paragraph. But we omitted it entirely; maybe we should include some of it in About the role to preserve. The department overview includes description of CIP and IPS and links. That is substantive. We could add a sentence after the overview: "The Community Impact Program (CIP) at Boise State University serves place-bound Idahoans through a variety of academic and professionally-focused programs that allow students to get ahead without leaving their community. Learn more about CIP at https://www.boisestate.edu/ruraleducation/. CIP is part of the Interdisciplinary Professional Studies (IPS) program in the College of Arts and Sciences–a program that offers students a flexible, personalized education that honors their experience, builds on their strengths, and empowers them to achieve their professional and personal aspirations through integrative learning and holistic support. IPS collaborates with academic and non-academic units across the entire university to serve all students: traditional, nontraditional, military, working adult, accommodated, full-time, part-time, parents, grandparents, Boise State staff, some college/no degree, associate’s degree transfers, and more. Learn more about IPS at https://www.boisestate.edu/online/interdisciplinary-professional-studies/." That is substantive; we should include. We can add to About the role paragraph after the initial overview. Also "About Boise State" paragraph: also substantive; we could include in About the role as well. We must not create thin sections; we can incorporate into About the role. Thus About the role will be longer but okay. Let's rewrite About the role to include department overview and About Boise State. We'll keep it as a single

      maybe too long; but it's okay. Could split into multiple

      but still under same heading. The instruction: Use

      for prose. So we can have multiple

      under the heading. We'll do:
