Associate Professor or Professor in Genetics, Synthetic Biology, and Biological Engineering
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should create sections with those headings only if content exists.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content for it.
Let's identify content for each possible heading:
About the role: Could be description of the position: "The Department of Genetics at the University of Georgia invites applications for a tenure-track or tenured faculty position at the rank of Associate Professor or Professor, beginning August 1, 2027. Candidates at the advanced Assistant Professor level who are poised for promotion to Associate Professor are also encouraged to apply. Successful candidates will be expected to establish or maintain an internationally recognized, externally funded research program; contribute to the intellectual community of the Department of Genetics; mentor graduate students and postdoctoral researchers; participate in undergraduate and graduate education; and engage in collaborative research across the University of Georgia."
Also maybe "About The College/Unit/Department" and "About the University of Georgia" could be considered part of About the role? But they are more about the institution. However we can include them under About the role as they describe the context. The instruction says use About the role for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). So we can put the descriptive paragraphs under About the role.
Responsibilities: The posting includes "Duties/Responsibilities" but then after that there is "Posting Specific Questions Required fields are indicated with an asterisk (*). Applicant Documents Required Documents ..." Not actual duties list. There's no explicit list of duties besides the earlier description about expectations. However we have a paragraph describing expectations: "Successful candidates will be expected to establish or maintain an internationally recognized, externally funded research program; contribute to the intellectual community of the Department of Genetics; mentor graduate students and postdoctoral researchers; participate in undergraduate and graduate education; and engage in collaborative research across the University of Georgia." That could be considered responsibilities. Also maybe "Additional Requirements" etc.
But we need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If we have a list, we should format as list. The responsibilities are semicolon-separated; we could turn into list items.
Requirements: Minimum qualifications: "Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree in genetics, genomics, biology, computational biology, bioengineering, or a related discipline." Also maybe "Candidates for appointment with tenure must have a record of research, scholarship, teaching, and professional achievement commensurate with appointment at the Associate Professor or Professor level at the University of Georgia." That's more qualifications.
Qualifications: Could include "Preferred Knowledge, Skills, Abilities and/or Competencies: We seek an outstanding scientist whose work advances fundamental understanding of biological systems using genetic, genomic, evolutionary, molecular, computational, or quantitative approaches, and has the potential to inform applications in synthetic biology, biotechnology, or biological engineering. Research programs using any appropriate experimental or computational system are welcome. Candidates need not identify primarily as synthetic biologists or engineers."
Also maybe "Additional Requirements" etc.
Skills: Could be derived from preferred knowledge etc.
Benefits: The posting includes "Employment Type Employee Benefits Eligibility Benefits Eligible". Not specific benefits described. There's no detail like health insurance, retirement etc. So we should NOT create Benefits section because no specific content.
Pay: "Advertised Salary" is present but no value; it's just label. No actual salary figure. So we should not create Pay section because no specific content.
Schedule: "Contract Type Academic (9 mo.)" indicates schedule: 9-month academic contract. That's specific. So we can include Schedule section with that detail.
Also maybe "Anticipated Start Date 08/01/2027" could be considered schedule? But schedule heading is for work schedule; we have contract type academic (9 mo.) which is schedule.
We also have "Location of Vacancy Athens Area". Could be part of About the role? Not a heading we have; we could include under About the role as location.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statements, USG Core Values, etc.
We also need to remove "Posting Details Posting Details Posting Number F2819P Working Title Associate Professor or Professor in Genetics, Synthetic Biology, and Biological Engineering Department Franklin-Genetics". The job title is already shown; we should not repeat as heading. We can include that metadata maybe in a short paragraph? The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could include a short paragraph with posting number etc? But maybe better to drop it as minor metadata. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; posting number maybe not substantive? It's metadata; we could drop it. The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we could include a short p with posting number and date etc. But we need to decide.
We also have "Posting Type External Retirement Plan Employment Type Employee Benefits Eligibility Benefits Eligible Underutilization Advertised Salary Anticipated Start Date 08/01/2027 Effective End Date (for Limited-Term postings) Job Posting Date 09/25/2026 Job Closing Date Open until filled Yes Special Instructions to Applicants ..." That's a lot of metadata. Some of it is substantive: Anticipated Start Date, Job Posting Date, Job Closing Date, Special Instructions to Applicants (application requirements). Those are substantive. We need to preserve them.
We need to decide where to put them. Could be under About the role? Or maybe we create a section "Application Instructions"? But we are instructed to remove application instructions. Actually instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we must remove application instructions. That means we should not include the Special Instructions to Applicants. So we drop that.
Similarly, we should remove EEO statement, USG Core Values, etc.
We need to keep substantive info: description of university, department, position summary, minimum qualifications, preferred knowledge, contract type, anticipated start date, location, maybe posting date? The posting date maybe minor metadata; could be dropped. But we could keep as short p.
But we need to avoid creating sections with filler like "not specified". So we only create sections where we have real content.
Thus sections:
- About the role: include description of university, department, position summary, location, anticipated start date maybe.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (the expectations). Could be derived from the sentence about expectations.
- Requirements: minimum qualifications (Ph.D. etc.)
- Qualifications: maybe "Additional Requirements" about tenure track record etc. Or we could combine requirements and qualifications. But we need to follow headings list; we can have both Requirements and Qualifications if content distinct.
- Skills: preferred knowledge, skills, abilities.
- Benefits: none specific -> omit.
- Pay: none specific -> omit.
- Schedule: contract type academic (9 mo.) maybe also start date.
We need to ensure we don't repeat content.
Let's extract substantive paragraphs:
About the University of Georgia: "Chartered by the state of Georgia in 1785, the University of Georgia is the birthplace of public higher education in America and is the state’s flagship university (https://www.uga.edu/).

Now we need to format.
We'll create sections:
