We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have sections: Position Overview (maybe About the role), Responsibilities, Minimum Qualifications, Preferences (maybe Skills?), Pay Rate Range (Pay), Work Schedule Summary (Schedule?), Department, Location maybe? But we should only include sections when posting has real, specific content. We need to use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide mapping: "Position Overview" could be "About the role". "Responsibilities" is a heading. "Minimum Qualifications" could be "Requirements" or "Qualifications". "Preferences" could be "Skills". Pay Rate Range is Pay. Work Schedule Summary is Schedule. Benefits not present, so omit. Also maybe include "About the institute" but that's not required; we could include as "About the role"? Actually the "About Us" is boilerplate? It's about the organization, not the role. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About Us" paragraph might be considered boilerplate? It's describing the organization; might be relevant but not required. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the "About Us" content? It's about the institute mission. It's substantive. However we need to format into semantic HTML with headings. There's no specific heading for that; maybe we could put it under a heading like "About the Institute" but not in allowed list. The allowed headings list is limited to those specific ones; we should only use those headings. But we could still include a

without heading? The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we should use those headings for sections. It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use

for section headings (e.g. those). Likely we should only use those headings for sections we include. For other content like mission statement, we could just put in a

without heading? Might be okay. But better to include as a paragraph under maybe no heading? The instruction: "Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences." So we can output a series of elements. We need to preserve all substantive information: About Us mission, Position Overview, Responsibilities (with bullet list), Minimum Qualifications (with equivalency statement and supervisor line), Preferences (list), Pay Rate Range, Work Schedule Summary (including Full Time/Part Time?, Department, Location). Also maybe include "Requisition Number" etc but instruction says do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include requisite number in a short paragraph. We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Special Instructions" includes Requisition Number, Full Time or Part Time?, Work Schedule Summary, Department, Location, Pay Rate Range, Close Date, Open Until Filled, To apply... The "To apply" is application instruction, should be removed. Also copyright line etc removed. Thus we keep: Requisition Number, Full Time or Part Time?, Work Schedule Summary (maybe we incorporate into Schedule section), Department, Location, Pay Rate Range. Close Date maybe metadata but could be dropped? It's minor metadata; we could fold into a short p or drop. Probably drop. Now structure:

About the role

maybe combine Position Overview and About Us? Actually About the role could be Position Overview paragraph. We'll put Position Overview content there. Then

Responsibilities

with
  • items. Then

    Requirements

    for Minimum Qualifications (including equivalency statement and supervisor line). Could be a

    for Preferences list. Then

    Pay

    with pay rate range. Then

    Schedule

    with Full Time/Part Time? and maybe Work Schedule Summary? Actually Work Schedule Summary is maybe "Part Time". We'll include Full Time or Part Time? and maybe note it's Part Time. We could also include Department and Location as a short paragraph under Schedule or separate? Not specified; we could include them in Schedule section as a

    .
