We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to extract relevant content: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements/Qualifications (minimum and preferred), Skills maybe, Benefits (benefits package), Pay (salary info), Schedule (maybe not given). Also include maybe "About The Department" could be part of About the role? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can decide which sections to include based on content. We need to preserve all substantive information: e.g., institution name, founded, description, location, benefits package details, etc. Also details about position: Endowed Associate Professor or Professor of Geosciences, Field Chair, duties percentages, etc. Also qualifications: PhD, field-based teaching/research, etc. Preferred qualifications. Also special instructions about documents etc? Those are application instructions, which we should remove per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should not include sections about required documents, special instructions, recruitment contact, etc. Also we should not include the "All Job Postings will close at 12:01 a.m. CT..." etc. That's application instruction? It's about process; likely considered boilerplate/application instructions, so remove. Also "Current University of Arkansas System employees..." etc is instructions for accessing job posting; remove. Also "If you close the browser..." remove. Also "All Job Postings will close..." remove. Also "Review of applications will begin immediately..." maybe considered application instruction; remove. Also "Pre-employment Screening Requirements" maybe considered part of qualifications? It's about background checks; could be considered part of requirements? Might be considered substantive? It's about screening; maybe keep as part of Requirements? But it's more about process; but it's not boilerplate? It's specific to position. However instruction says remove application instructions; screening requirements might be considered part of the job posting details (like requirements). I'd keep it as part of Requirements or Qualifications? Could be a separate section like "Requirements" includes screening. But we have limited headings; we could include under Qualifications or Requirements. Probably better to include under Requirements as bullet list. We also need to include Benefits: The benefits package includes university contributions to health, dental, life and disability insurance, tuition waivers for employees and their families, 12 official holidays, immediate leave accrual, and a choice of retirement programs with university contributions ranging from 5 to 10% of employee salary. Pay: Salary is commensurate with experience and qualifications. That's vague; but we should not create Pay section if content is just "commensurate with experience and qualifications" which is placeholder? The instruction: 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. Here Pay is stated as "Salary is commensurate with experience and qualifications." That's placeholder; we should not create Pay section. So omit Pay. Schedule: Not given; omit. Skills: Could be inferred from qualifications but not explicit list; maybe not create Skills unless explicit. We could omit. Thus sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications, preferred qualifications, screening), Benefits (benefits package). Possibly also "About The Department" could be part of About the role. We need to preserve all substantive info: include institution description, location, etc. That could be part of About the role. Let's extract substantive paragraphs: - Founded in 1871, land grant, Carnegie top 2%, etc. - Location Fayetteville, welcoming community, region, Fortune 500, etc. - As employer offers vibrant work environment, work-life balance. - Benefits package details. - Position: Endowed Associate Professor or Professor of Geosciences, inaugural Dr. T.A. “Mac” McGilvery, Karen R.
