We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention, no summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract sections:
- Department Summary: description of mission, vision, divisions. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the department". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can adapt: "About the role" for summary of role. Could also have "Department Summary" but they said use those headings. So we should map content to those headings.
We have Position Summary (detailed responsibilities). That's Responsibilities.
We have list of duties (bulleted). That's also responsibilities.
We have financial management etc. Also responsibilities.
We have "The successful incumbent may also be called upon to lead or participate in campus hazardous materials spill response efforts for regular and off-hour emergencies." That's also responsibilities.
We have Salary & Compensation: mentions full pay range, actual salary offers consider factors, etc. Not specific numbers. We should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "UCLA provides a full pay range." No specific numbers. That's vague; maybe we should not create Pay section because no specific numbers. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It states "UCLA provides a full pay range." That's still stating something about pay, but not specific numbers. Is that enough? It says "actual salary offers consider factors...". It's not a specific number or range. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state something about pay (full pay range). Might be considered stating them. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be okay to include Pay with that statement. But we must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". This is not filler; it's a statement about pay range. I'd include Pay section with that paragraph.
Benefits: mentions "Visit UC Benefit package to discover benefits that start on day one, and UC Total Compensation Estimator to calculate the total compensation value with benefits." That's a reference to benefits but not listing them. It's generic. Might be considered stating benefits exist. But it's basically a link. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's about benefits. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is not exactly that. It's a benefits reference. Could include Benefits section with that sentence.
Schedule: they have "Schedule 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Union/Policy Covered 99-Policy Covered". That's a specific schedule. So we should include Schedule section.
Qualifications: we have a list of qualifications (required/preferred). Also Education, Licenses, Certifications & Personal Affiliations. Also Special Conditions for Employment. Those could go under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide mapping. Probably Qualifications for education/licenses/certifications. Requirements for experience/skills. Skills for abilities.
We must not duplicate content. We need to preserve all substantive info.
Let's extract:
- Department Summary / Mission/Vision/Divisions: could go under About the role (or maybe a separate About the department). We'll put under About the role.
- Position Summary: responsibilities.
- Bulleted list of duties: responsibilities.
- Financial management etc: responsibilities.
- Spill response: responsibilities.
- Salary & Compensation: Pay.
- Benefits reference: Benefits.
- Schedule: Schedule.
- Qualifications: Minimum 7 years Relevant experience... (list). Also Animal handling experience (Preferred). Demonstrated leadership experience... (Required). In-depth knowledge of NIH Guidelines... (Required). Experience working with vivarium operations... (Required). Ability to establish cooperative relationships... (Required). Ability to analyze complex technical data... (Required). Ability to make oral presentations... (Required). Skill in writing... (Required). Demonstrated experience in coordinating and delegating tasks... (Required). (Note some duplicates). We'll deduplicate.
- Education, Licenses, Certifications & Personal Affiliations: Bachelor's Degree Microbiology... (Required). Or Master's Degree Advanced degree (Preferred). Current professional biosafety registration or certification (RBP or CBSP) or eligibility for certification is strongly preferred. (Required). (Note: they say Required but then say strongly preferred; we keep as stated.)
- Special Conditions for Employment: Background Check, Live Scan, Pre-Placement Physical, COVID and Flu Vaccinations, Driving Record, Subject to medical surveillance and safety training, May require response to emergencies on evenings and weekends.

We need to output HTML with headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We must not include duplicated lines. So we need to deduplicate repeated qualifications (like In-depth knowledge appears twice, Demonstrated experience in coordinating appears twice). We'll keep one.
Also note that some bullet points under "The Biosafety Manager will:" are responsibilities; we should include them as list under Responsibilities.
We also have bullet list under "The Biosafety Manager will:" (starting with - also act as the Alternate Responsible Official...). We'll include those.
Also there is bullet list under "The Biosafety Manager is expected to function independently..." (personnel administration). That's also responsibilities.
Also bullet list under "The Biosafety Manager will oversee comprehensive financial management..." (financial responsibilities). Also responsibilities.
Also bullet list under "The successful incumbent may also be called upon to lead or participate..." (spill response). Also responsibilities.
Thus we can combine all responsibilities into one
under Responsibilities heading.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Our Mission Encourage and promote..." duplicates. We'll include mission/vision/divisions as prose under About the role.
Now produce HTML.

Requirements
Maybe we put experience/skills requirements here. But we also have Qualifications heading. Let's decide: Use Requirements for experience/skills, Qualifications for education/licenses/certifications, Skills for abilities? But we have overlapping.
Simplify: Use Qualifications
for education/licenses/certifications. Use Requirements
for experience and required skills. Use Skills
for abilities like communication, presentation, analysis, etc. But we might end up with many thin sections. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But they said use those headings when appropriate. We could have Responsibilities, Qualifications (covering education, certs, experience), and Skills (covering abilities). Or we could have Responsibilities, Requirements (experience/skills), and Qualifications (education/certs). Let's see.
We have a lot of experience requirements: Minimum 7 years relevant experience, Animal handling experience (Preferred), Demonstrated leadership experience, Experience working with vivarium operations, etc. Also knowledge requirements (NIH Guidelines etc). Those could be under Requirements.
We have abilities: Ability to establish cooperative relationships, Ability to analyze complex technical data, Ability to make oral presentations, Skill in writing, Demonstrated experience in coordinating and delegating tasks. Those could be under Skills.
Education/licenses: Bachelor's degree, Master's preferred, certification RBP/CBSP eligibility. That's Qualifications.
Special Conditions for Employment could be under Requirements or a separate section like "Special Conditions". But we don't have a heading for that; we could fold into Requirements or Qualifications as a list.
Schedule we have separate.
Pay separate.
Benefits separate.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits, Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't create empty sections.
Now let's craft content.
About the role: combine department summary, mission, vision, divisions.
Paragraph: "UCLA Environment, Health & Safety's mission is to encourage and promote a strong safety culture that practices sound health, safety, and environmental stewardship. This is accomplished through engaging and informing the UCLA Campus and Community by providing collaborative, proactive, and responsive safety and compliance expertise, through the various divisions within EH&S: Fire & Life Safety, Emergency Management, Research Safety, Information Technology, Administration, and Environmental, Occupations & Safety Programs. Our Vision: Engage and inform the UCLA Campus and Community by providing collaborative, proactive and responsive safety and compliance expertise." Might also include "Our Mission Encourage and promote a strong safety culture..." but that's duplicate. We'll keep concise.
Now Responsibilities: list all duties.
We need to extract each duty from the text.
From Position Summary: "The Biosafety Manager is responsible for the overall leadership, strategic planning, finances and management of UCLA's comprehensive biosafety, high containment and vivarium safety programs." -> list item.
"The Biosafety Manager works closely with faculty, staff and students, ensuring safety and compliance with applicable federal and state regulations or requirements, and UC Office of the President's mandates related to biological safety, high containment and vivarium safety." -> item.
"This position directly oversees six Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) professionals and ensures the safety and compliance of biological research, high-containment facilities and vivarium environments." -> item.
"The Biosafety Manager will act as the campus Biosafety Officer (BSO), which serves as the campus subject matter expert for biological safety/biosecurity at UCLA." -> item.
"The Biosafety Manager will be ex-officio member of the UCLA Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) and is tasked with advising the committee on best management practices for mitigating biological hazards." -> item.
Then the bullet list starting with "- also act as the Alternate Responsible Official to the High Containment Director and Associate Biosafety Officer for the Select Agent Program;" etc.
Let's list each:
- also act as the Alternate Responsible Official to the High Containment Director and Associate Biosafety Officer for the Select Agent Program;
- support and oversee the High Containment Director in managing the BSL-3 facilities & operations;
- support and oversee the Vivarium Safety Officer in providing safety services to vivarium staff and researchers working with animals and plants;
- set schedules and assignments of biological use authorization reviews;
- set inspection assignments of laboratories with biological hazards including animal biocontainment facilities;
- function as point of contact during regulatory inspections (NIH, CDC USDA, etc.);
- review and manage the campus medical waste program;
- provide input for Research Safety Plan Reviews;
- manage biosafety training development;
- develop and maintain campus documents and policies such as the UCLA Biosafety Manual, Exposure Control Plans, Standard Operating Procedures/Policies, etc.
Then: "The Biosafety Manager is expected to function independently with minimal supervision and provide full personnel administration (Hiring, Performance Evaluation, Work Assignments, Merit Increases & Reclassifications, Discipline & Discharge, Complaint & Grievance Resolution) for up to six EH&S Specialists — three Assistant Biosafety Officers (EHS SPEC 3), an Associate Biosafety Officer (EHS SPEC 4), the Vivarium Safety Officer (EHS SPEC 4) and the High Containment Director (EHS SPEC 4)." -> item.
Then: "The Biosafety Manager will oversee comprehensive financial management for their unit, ensuring accountability for all allocated resources. They will administer the day-to-day budget with particular focus on specialized laboratory equipment acquisition, inventory management, personnel training programs, and required certifications. The role includes monitoring regulatory compliance expenditures, implementing systematic expense tracking protocols, and producing detailed financial reports. Additionally
- for lists,
for prose. We must not include duplicated lines. So we need to deduplicate repeated qualifications (like In-depth knowledge appears twice, Demonstrated experience in coordinating appears twice). We'll keep one. Also note that some bullet points under "The Biosafety Manager will:" are responsibilities; we should include them as list under Responsibilities. We also have bullet list under "The Biosafety Manager will:" (starting with - also act as the Alternate Responsible Official...). We'll include those. Also there is bullet list under "The Biosafety Manager is expected to function independently..." (personnel administration). That's also responsibilities. Also bullet list under "The Biosafety Manager will oversee comprehensive financial management..." (financial responsibilities). Also responsibilities. Also bullet list under "The successful incumbent may also be called upon to lead or participate..." (spill response). Also responsibilities. Thus we can combine all responsibilities into one
- under Responsibilities heading.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Our Mission Encourage and promote..." duplicates. We'll include mission/vision/divisions as prose under About the role.
