We need to output HTML fragment only, with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Include only sections that have real specific content. No filler. We need to parse the job description. First, there is a "Job Description Summary Organization's Summary Statement:" which is like a description. Could be "About the role". We'll put that under

About the role

with paragraphs. Then "Responsibilities" section: list of duties. We'll output

Responsibilities

then
  • each. Then "Minimum Qualifications" maybe under Requirements or Qualifications. The posting has "Minimum Qualifications" and "Preferences Additional Job Details". Also "Ph.D. in Poultry Science or a closely related discipline." etc. So we can have sections: Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications) and Qualifications (preferred). Or combine? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Requirements and Qualifications separate. We need to include Pay: there is "Worker Sub-Type Faculty Regular Salary Range $130,000 - $135,000". That's pay info. So we can have

    Pay

    with that. Benefits: there is "Benefits Summary For more information on Regular Faculty benefits, select this link." That's vague but it's a statement that benefits exist. It says "For more information on Regular Faculty benefits, select this link." That's not specific benefit details, but it's still a statement about benefits. The rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state benefits summary, albeit generic. I'd include Benefits section with that sentence. Schedule: no schedule info. So omit. Skills: maybe we can extract from qualifications: "Excellent written and verbal communication skills", "Ability to effectively present research findings", etc. Could be Skills section. But we already have Requirements and Qualifications; maybe we can put skills under Qualifications. However we have a separate Skills heading allowed. We could include Skills if there is specific content. The posting includes: "Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to prepare federal reports, technical reports, grant proposals, and scientific manuscripts. Ability to effectively present research findings to scientific, industry, and stakeholder audiences." That's skills. Also "Demonstrated ability to work independently while" (cut off). Also "Prior success in writing Federal and private grant proposals is required." That's more qualification. We could put skills under Skills heading. But we must avoid thin sections. Let's decide: We'll have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred/additional), Skills (communication, presentation, grant writing), Benefits, Pay. Check for duplication: Ensure we don't repeat same content. Let's extract content. About the role: The summary statement: "The Associate Research Professor will work with Dr. Tom Porter, Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Animal and Avian Sciences (ANSC) on research projects related to poultry reproduction. The first existing project is to define the mechanisms underlying the differences in egg production among individual turkey hens within a flock. The second existing project aims to identify markers for and mechanisms underlying semen quality in broiler breeder males. The Associate Research Professor will be expected to write grant proposals related to poultry reproduction in order to extend the length of the position." That's substantive. Responsibilities list: - Independently conduct whole-animal, cellular, and molecular research studies. - Coordinate research sample collection, processing, and laboratory analyses. - Perform data management, statistical analyses, and interpretation of research findings. - Prepare and present research findings at scientific conferences and publish results in peer-reviewed journals. - Travel as required to scientific conferences and research sites in support of projects directed by Dr. Porter. - Serve as the senior research professional within Dr. Porter's research group, providing scientific leadership and technical expertise. - Interact and coordinate with departmental administrative and business office personnel to support research operations. - Supervise, mentor, and train undergraduate and graduate students participating in research activities. - Maintain accurate research records and ensure compliance with applicable laboratory, institutional, and research protocols. - Occasionally lift, move, or carry research supplies and equipment weighing up to 25 pounds over short distances. Note: The physical demands line appears again later; we can include once. Minimum Qualifications: - Master's degree in Poultry Science, Animal Science, Biology, or a closely related field with at least two (2) years of progressively responsible research experience in poultry science or a related discipline. - Prior success in writing Federal and private grant proposals is required. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to prepare federal reports, technical reports, grant proposals, and scientific manuscripts. - Ability to effectively present research findings to scientific, industry, and stakeholder audiences. - Demonstrated ability to work independently while (the sentence cut off; maybe "while ..." but we have incomplete. We'll keep as is? It's incomplete; maybe it's a mistake. We'll include the phrase as given: "Demonstrated ability to work independently while". That's weird but we must preserve all substantive information; it's incomplete but it's there. We'll keep it. Preferences Additional Job Details: - Ph.D. in Poultry Science or a closely related discipline. - Demonstrated expertise in poultry research, with prior experience working directly with poultry. - Strong research background with a proven record of peer-reviewed publications utilizing molecular biology and cell culture techniques. - Demonstrated success in developing and securing federal and private research grant funding. Also "Required Application Materials" etc but those are application instructions, which we must remove. So we drop that. Also "Best Consideration Date: 8/28/2026 Posting Close Date Open Until Filled: Yes" - that's metadata; we can drop or fold into short p. 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 p with that info, but it's not required. Probably better to drop it as it's not substantive? It's metadata about dates; could be considered minor. We'll drop. Financial Disclosure Required No - minor. Department AGNR-Animal & Avian Sciences Worker Sub-Type Faculty Regular - minor. Salary Range $130,000 - $135,000 - we will put in Pay. Benefits Summary: "For more information on Regular Faculty benefits, select this link." We'll put that as a p under Benefits. Background Checks etc - boilerplate; remove. Employment Eligibility etc - boilerplate; remove. EEO etc - remove. Now we need to decide which headings to use. We'll have:

    (communication, presentation, grant writing, independent work) But note that some of those skills overlap with requirements. To avoid duplication, we could move communication and presentation to Skills, and keep requirements focused on degree, experience, grant writing. However grant writing is also a skill. But we can keep grant writing in Requirements as it's required. Let's think. Requirements (minimum): Master's degree + 2 years experience, Prior success in writing Federal and private grant proposals required. Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, Ability to effectively present research findings, Demonstrated ability to work independently while (maybe incomplete). Also maybe "Ability to prepare federal reports, technical reports, grant proposals, and scientific manuscripts" is part of communication.

    Salary Range: $130,000 - $135,000

    Check for any leftover boilerplate: we removed EEO, background check, employment eligibility, financial disclosure, etc. Also removed "Best Consideration Date" etc. Also removed "Required Application Materials". Also removed "Department AGNR-Animal & Avian Sciences Worker Sub-Type Faculty Regular". That's okay. We kept the physical demands line in Responsibilities; we also have a duplicate later but we included once. Check that we didn't miss any substantive info: The "Associate Research Professor will be expected to write grant proposals related to poultry reproduction in order to extend the length of the position." included in About the role. The "Minimum Qualifications" also includes "Excellent written and verbal communication skills..." which we moved to Skills. That
