We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate: contact info, apply links, newsletter, duplicated lines, EEO etc. We need to parse the posting. Content: - The School of Visual Art and Design (SVAD) in the McCausland College of Arts and Sciences at the University of South Carolina invites applications for a full-time, nine-month tenured faculty position at the rank of Associate or Full Professor in Industrial Design, to begin August 16, 2027. - The selected candidate will also serve as the inaugural Head of the new Industrial Design Program. - The University of South Carolina’s Industrial Design degree (B.S.I.D.) is set to launch in Fall 2027 and was designed at the university president’s initiative to be a sibling program to the Industrial Engineering degree in the Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing in response to the growth of several industrial and manufacturing sectors in the state. - The program curriculum is in place, and SVAD will soon occupy a nearly 3900 sq ft makerspace with three faculty offices, directly next door to the main SVAD building. The college will outfit the space with industrial design and digital fabrication equipment. The nearby wood and metal shops and ceramics studio will complement the resources in the makerspace. - This tenured position is part of a cluster of presidential hiring in both colleges for Industrial Engineering (INDE) and Industrial Design (IDEA)— this position is the lead faculty person in a group of three in Industrial Design. Two Assistant Professor positions in Industrial Design are being listed simultaneously, also to begin in August 2027. - The tenured faculty member will be the inaugural Head of the Industrial Design Program. - The ideal candidate will have demonstrable research expertise in the form of publications and/or an extensive design portfolio. - The Head of the IDEA Program will lead the launch of the new degree, including the direction of two Assistant Professors (to be hired simultaneously); administrative oversight of an approx. 3900 sq ft makerspace and its contents; strategic planning for major recruitment and program growth; forming and cultivating industry relations in South Carolina; and collaborating with colleagues in the Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing (MCEC). - The Head of the Industrial Design Program will report directly to the Director of SVAD and the Area Coordinator of Studio Art & Design. - In addition to teaching, the tenured faculty member will maintain an active research agenda (including creative production), mentor students and colleagues, and undertake institutional and professional service. - REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS: Master of Industrial Design (MID), Master of Design (MDes), or equivalent, or Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in related discipline, or PhD in Industrial Design or closely related field. - Demonstrable record of scholarship (including creative production) of national or international significance, grant and/or industry funding, and teaching and service appropriate to the rank of tenured Associate or Full Professor. We also have "ideal candidate will have demonstrable research expertise..." which could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. We need sections: About the role (maybe description of position), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (maybe required qualifications), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule info. So we should not include those sections. We have content for About the role: description of position, program launch, makerspace, cluster hiring, etc. Responsibilities: leading launch, directing two assistant professors, administrative oversight of makerspace, strategic planning, industry relations, collaborating with MCEC, reporting to Director SVAD and Area Coordinator, teaching, research agenda, mentoring, service. Requirements: maybe required qualifications (MID/MDes/MFA/PhD) and demonstrable record of scholarship etc. Could be under Qualifications. Qualifications: maybe ideal candidate research expertise, publications/portfolio. Skills: maybe not explicit; we could omit if no specific skill list. We must not create sections with filler. So include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications). We need to decide which headings to use. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose any of those that have content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (required qualifications), Qualifications (ideal candidate). Could combine Requirements and Qualifications? But better to separate: Requirements = required qualifications; Qualifications = preferred/ideal. We have no Skills specific list, so omit Skills. We have no Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Thus output:

. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting. Let's extract each piece.

Qualifications content (ideal candidate): - The ideal candidate will have demonstrable research expertise in the form of publications and/or an extensive design portfolio. We could also include that the candidate will have demonstrable research expertise etc. That's it. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no extra markup. We'll produce:

But we have multiple sentences; we could combine into

with line breaks? It's okay to have multiple

but better to keep as one

with sentences. We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not. We must not put Job ID etc. Now produce final HTML. Check for any boilerplate: we removed contact, apply, newsletter, duplicated lines, EEO etc. Make sure we preserve all substantive info: Did we miss any? Let's double-check.
