We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role?

Also remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to decide which sections to include. Content: About the role: description of position, program, start date, etc. Could be "About the role". Responsibilities: list of duties (develop research, teach, coordinate, advise, supervise, serve, etc). Requirements/Qualifications: required and preferred qualifications. Could combine as "Qualifications". Skills: maybe not explicit. Benefits: not given. Pay: only "Salary is commensurate with rank" – that's vague, not specific; we should not include Pay section because it's not specific (commensurate with experience). The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". So we should omit Pay. Schedule: teaching load two courses per semester – that is specific schedule info. Could be Schedule section. Benefits: not mentioned. Skills: maybe not explicit; we could omit. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Schedule. We need to use

    • Participate and provide leadership in interdisciplinary initiatives across the College of Education and the University.
    • Advise and supervise graduate student research.
    • Serve as organizer, collaborator, and/or principal investigator for research and service proposals to appropriate national agencies and foundations.

    Schedule

    Expected teaching load: two courses per semester, with a particular need for instruction in assessment (academic and behavioral) and school‑based mental health; additional opportunities exist for teaching courses related to areas of interest.

    We must not include Pay or Benefits sections. Ensure no filler like "commensurate with experience". We omitted salary. Check for any leftover boilerplate: none. Make sure we didn't repeat job title as heading. We didn't. Check for duplicate lines: we summarized but preserved all substantive info. Did we lose any? Let's verify: - Tenure-track associate professor, start Fall 2027: included. - Program includes PhD APA-accredited and NASP-approved EdS: included. - With these hires, there will be five full time faculty positions, four tenure-track and one career: included. - Seeking candidates with focused research agenda in any substantive area of school psychology, especially applied research areas in academic or behavioral interventions, school-based mental health, curriculum-based measurements, experience in research and practices that emphasize equity and/or inclusion, applied research with children who have neurodevelopment disabilities: included. - Also seeking candidates with strong teaching skills and commitment to professional organizations at state and national level, interest in collaborating with colleagues at program, department, college, university level: included. - Program dedicated to creating a community where everyone belongs; value unique contributions; encourage applications from candidates committed to supporting sense of belonging and ensuring every student feels respected and valued: included. - Invite applications from individuals with record of excellence in research, teaching, mentorship of Specialist and Doctoral-level graduate students: included in required qualifications? We mentioned demonstrated record of excellence in research, teaching, mentorship (covers). Also mention potential for obtaining external funding: we omitted that. That's substantive: "Applicants should have a defined program of research and potential for obtaining external funding." We missed that. Need to include in qualifications maybe under required or preferred. Let's add to required: "defined program of research and potential for obtaining external funding." Could add as part of required. - Expected teaching load is two courses per semester, with particular need for instruction in assessment (academic and behavioral) as well as school-based mental health. Additional opportunities exist for teaching courses related to areas of interest: included in schedule. - Required Qualifications: doctoral degree from an APA-accredited school psychology program and a demonstrated record of excellence in research, teaching, and mentorship: included. - Preferred Qualifications: licensed as psychologist or eligible for licensure in Utah; credentials as BCBA and NCSP, supporting supervision of graduate students; prior leadership experience within a school psychology program; professional experience as a school psychologist in a school-based setting; experience providing effective school psychological services to students from diverse backgrounds and communities, consistent with program and University goals for serving students across Utah: included. - Responsibilities list: we included all six items. - Location description: included. - Appointment date: included July 1, 2027. - Salary: omitted as per rule. - Application instructions etc removed. - Also mention "The University of Utah values candidates who have experience working in settings with students and possess a strong commitment to improving access to higher education." That's somewhat fluff but maybe substantive? It's a value statement. Could be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but still a value statement. Might be considered part of About the role? Could include but it's somewhat generic. The rule: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This line is not exactly boilerplate but
