Assistant Teaching Professor of Sport Leadership & Management/Outdoor Business & Innovation

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have description, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, maybe pay? The posting mentions competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience, but that's vague; we should not include Pay section if not specific. Schedule: nine-month position, teaching load 4-4, but schedule maybe not explicit; we could include Schedule if they state nine-month, teaching-track position. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. So Pay section would be "competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience" which is vague; better to omit Pay. Schedule: they say nine-month, teaching-track position; also teaching load 4-4. That's specific enough? Might be considered schedule info. Could include Schedule section with that info. Benefits: they have Benefits Overview with details. So include Benefits. We need headings: About the role? The description includes overview; we could use About the role for the descriptive paragraph(s). Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Schedule maybe. Also maybe "About The University Of New England" could be part of About the role? But we already have description about role; we could include a separate section "About the University" but not required; we could incorporate into About the role. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We must preserve all substantive information; remove boilerplate like EEO, COVID Vaccination Statement, Posting Number, Close Date, To apply, copyright, etc. We need to output only HTML fragment.

Experience supporting student internships, career readiness, and employer or industry partnerships. Experience teaching across multiple modalities, including in-person and online courses. Relevant professional certifications applicable to outdoor leadership, recreation, safety, or instruction. We could combine Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications into a Qualifications section, but we could also separate into Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. The instruction list includes Qualifications as a possible heading; we could have Qualifications (required) and maybe Preferred Qualifications as a subsection? But we should not create thin sections; we could combine into one Qualifications section with both required and preferred. However we need to preserve all info; we can include both. We also have Schedule: nine-month, teaching-track position; teaching load 4-4. Could be Schedule section. We have Pay: competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience (vague) - omit. We have Benefits: as above. We have About the role: we could use description paragraph(s) as About the role. We also have About The University Of New England; could be part of About the role or separate section About the University. But we have limited headings list; we could include About the role and maybe About the University as part of same section? Better to have About the role covering the role description, and maybe a separate section About the University? The instruction list includes About the role as example; not About the University. But we could still include a heading About the University if we want, but it's not in the list; but we could still use

for any heading; the list is just examples. However we should avoid too many thin sections. Could combine university description into About the role. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Schedule. Now we need to output HTML fragment: use

for each heading, then content:

for prose,

• for lists. We need to decide what content is list vs prose. Responsibilities is a list of duties; we can make
  • . Qualifications also list; we can make
    • . Benefits also list; we can make
      • . Schedule maybe prose. About the role: prose paragraphs. We must not include boilerplate like "For more information, please visit..." etc. That's part of description but maybe considered boilerplate? It's contact info; we should remove application instructions and contact info. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The line "For more information, please visit the CoB website at https://www.une.edu/cob/college-of-business or contact the Chair of the Search Committee, Aimee Vlachos at avlachos@une.edu." is application instructions/contact; we should remove it. Also "Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Applications received by November 1, 2026, will receive full consideration." That's also application timeline; maybe considered application instructions? It's about review timeline; could be considered part of posting but not essential? The instruction says remove application instructions; timeline might be considered part of application process; safer to remove. Also "This nine-month, teaching-track position offers a competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience, along with opportunities for summer teaching, interdisciplinary collaboration, and career advancement." That's substantive; keep. Also "The successful candidate will join a collegial, engaged faculty in a growing College of Business that is expanding its graduate, professional, and online offerings." keep. Now About The University Of New England paragraph: keep. Now Benefits Overview: we have list; keep. Now Responsibilities: keep. Now Qualifications: keep. Now Preferred Qualifications: we could include as part of Qualifications; maybe separate but we can combine. Now Schedule: we have nine-month, teaching-track position; teaching load 4-4. Could be Schedule section. Now we need to ensure we don't include any filler like "commensurate with experience" in Pay (we omitted Pay). Good. Now produce HTML. Let's craft:
