We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Overview (University Overview) maybe not needed as section? The instructions: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. So we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - University Overview (maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be a summary of the role. We have a Job Description Summary and Job Description. Could treat as "About the role". We'll include that. - Responsibilities: The "Key Responsibilities Include" list. - Requirements/Qualifications: There's a "Qualifications" section. - Skills: Not explicitly listed, but maybe we can infer from qualifications? But we should not create a Skills section unless posting actually states them. The posting does not have a separate Skills heading. So we should not create Skills. - Benefits: The posting includes "University Benefits" with details. So we can include Benefits section. - Pay: The posting includes "Pay Range $55,962.00 - $76,000.00 Annual Rate". So we can include Pay section. - Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So we should not include Schedule. Also we might include "Job Location" maybe as part of About the role? But we can include location in a short paragraph maybe under About the role. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include location in a paragraph. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out the Equal Opportunity Statement, Special Requirements background checks maybe? That's boilerplate? It's not exactly EEO but it's a standard statement; likely considered boilerplate to remove. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove the Equal Opportunity Statement and Special Requirements. Also remove the "University Benefits" maybe we keep as Benefits section (that's substantive). However the Benefits section includes a lot of detail; we should keep it. We also need to remove duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Thus structure:

About the role

... (University Overview + Job Description Summary + Job Description + location maybe)

Responsibilities

  • ... each responsibility

Qualifications

... (the qualifications paragraph)

Benefits

  • ... each benefit item? The benefits are described in paragraphs; we could keep as

    but instruction: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to turn benefits into list items. The benefits description includes multiple bullet-like sentences separated by periods. We could split into list items for each benefit category: Health, Life, and Flexible Spending Accounts; Tuition; Retirement; Time Away from Work; Long-Term Care Insurance; Wellness and Work-life Resources; Professional and Personal Development; University Resources; Discounts and Special Services; Flexible Work Hours; Penn Home Ownership Services; Adoption Assistance. That seems appropriate.

      Pay

      Pay Range $55,962.00 - $76,000.00 Annual Rate

      We must not include schedule. We need to preserve all substantive information: The University Overview paragraph includes many details; we need to keep them. Also the Job Description Summary and Job Description paragraphs. We need to avoid repeating content. Let's extract the substantive text. Original text: "University Overview The University of Pennsylvania, the largest private employer in Philadelphia, is a world-renowned leader in education, research, and innovation.
