Associate Director, Research Animal Welfare

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Equal Opportunity/Veterans/Disability Employer." etc. We need to parse the posting. Job Title: Associate Director, Research Animal Welfare Agency Texas A&M University System Offices Department Research Compliance Office Proposed Minimum Salary Commensurate Job Location Dallas, Texas Job Type Staff We have description paragraphs: The System Offices is one of several system members... (about the organization). Then "The System Offices, within the Texas A&M University System, provides an outstanding benefits package including, but not limited to: competitive health benefits; paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays; a defined benefit retirement plan to include an employer contribution through Teachers Retirement System of Texas (TRS); if applicable, a defined contribution retirement plan to include an employer contribution through an approved ORP vendor: additional voluntary tax deferred annuity (TDA) options; tuition assistance; and wellness programs to promote work/life balance." Then "Salary Commensurate with experience." Then "Job Description Summary The Associate Director, Research Animal Welfare serves as the Attending Veterinarian for assigned Texas A&M University System members and provides operational leadership, veterinary consultation, compliance support, and programmatic oversight for institutional animal care and use programs. Working under the direction of the Director, Research Animal Welfare, this position assists member institutions in maintaining compliant, effective, and high-quality animal care and use programs, supports implementation of System animal welfare initiatives, and serves as a primary veterinary resource for assigned institutions." Then sections: Responsibilities (with subheadings: Animal Welfare & Veterinary Care, IACUC Membership, Compliance and Accreditation Support, Researcher Support and Education, Program Implementation and Institutional Support, Other Duties). Then Education And Experience, Registration, Certifications, And Licenses, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, Preferred Qualifications, Other Requirements. We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe the initial description about organization and mission?), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Education And Experience?), Qualifications (maybe Registration, Certifications, And Licenses?), Skills (Knowledge, Skills And Abilities), Benefits (benefits package), Pay (salary), Schedule (maybe travel up to 50%? Not schedule). There's no explicit schedule like hours. Could include travel requirement? But schedule section only if posting actually states schedule (e.g., full-time, part-time, shift). Not present. So we should not create Schedule section. Pay: we have "Salary Commensurate with experience." That's vague but it's actual content. The instruction says: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It says "commensurate with experience" is considered filler/placeholder? It lists that as example of filler. So we should NOT create a Pay section if the content is just "Commnsurate with experience" because that's placeholder. However the instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It also says "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". So we should not include Pay section because the salary info is just that placeholder. So we omit Pay. Benefits: we have a detailed benefits package description. That's substantive. So include Benefits section. About the role: we have description of System Offices mission etc. That's substantive. Could be About the role. Responsibilities: we have detailed responsibilities. Requirements: maybe Education And Experience (Doctorate, 5 years experience). That's substantive. Qualifications: maybe Registration, Certifications, And Licenses (Ability to obtain Texas veterinary license). That's substantive. Skills: Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (list). That's substantive. Preferred Qualifications: could be part of Qualifications or separate? But we have only Qualifications heading allowed. Could combine Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications? But we need to preserve all info. Could include both under Qualifications with subheadings? But we only allowed to use

for section headings; we can have multiple

sections. Could have Qualifications and then Preferred Qualifications as separate

? The allowed headings list includes Qualifications but not Preferred Qualifications. However we could still use Qualifications heading and include both required and preferred under it. But we must not invent headings not listed. So we should not create a Preferred Qualifications heading. Instead we can include preferred qualifications inside Qualifications section. Other Requirements: security-sensitive, US citizen, etc. That's also a requirement; could go under Requirements or maybe under Qualifications? But we have Requirements heading for education/experience; Other Requirements could be under Requirements as well. We'll combine. We must not include boilerplate like "Equal Opportunity/Veterans/Disability Employer." Remove. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions like "Only complete applications will be considered..." etc. That's boilerplate/application instructions; remove. Also remove "This is a security-sensitive position and is restricted to U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents only." That's substantive? It's a requirement; we can keep under Requirements. Now craft HTML. Structure:

Requirements

We need to include Education And Experience, Registration, Certifications, And Licenses?

Other Requirements: - This is a security-sensitive position and is restricted to U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents only. - Only complete applications will be considered for employment at The Texas A&M System Offices.

(remove) - A cover letter and resume may be required in addition to a completed employment application. (remove) - All positions are security-sensitive. Applicants are subject to a criminal history investigation, and employment is contingent upon the institution’s verification of credentials and/or other information required by the institution’s procedures, including the completion of the criminal history check.
