CHAIR, NERS

Full-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Job Summary (description), Modes of Work (hybrid/remote), Additional Information (background check), Additional Information About Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences (department description), About Michigan Engineering, About University Of Michigan. Also "How to Apply" details (application instructions) which we must remove (application instructions). Also "Job Summary" is like About the role? Could map to "About the role". Responsibilities? Not explicit. Requirements/Qualifications: mention earned doctorate, record of achievement, visionary leadership abilities, etc. Skills? Not explicit. Benefits? Not explicit. Pay? Not explicit. Schedule? Not explicit. Modes of Work could be under "Schedule"? Not exactly. Could be "Work Mode" but not in allowed headings. We could maybe put under "Schedule"? But schedule refers to work schedule; not appropriate. Better to not create sections without content. We can include sections: About the role (Job Summary), Requirements (doctorate, record, leadership), About the department (NERS), About Michigan Engineering, About University of Michigan. Also maybe "Work Arrangements" but not allowed heading. Could embed in About the role? Might be okay to include a paragraph about Modes of Work under About the role.
We must not include application instructions, EEO statement, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So include details: cover letter, CV, statements, vision, references, deadline Nov 15 2026, position open until filled, search confidential, contact Professor Carolyn Kuranz email. But those are application instructions; we must remove application instructions per rule: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we must remove the "How to Apply" section entirely. That includes instructions about submitting cover letter, CV, statements, vision, references, deadline, contact, link. So we must not include that. So we lose that info. That's okay per instruction.
Thus we keep: Job Summary, Modes of Work, Additional Information (background check), Additional Information About NERS, About Michigan Engineering, About University Of Michigan. Also maybe "Job Summary" is about the role. We'll use
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.

Also maybe "Work Arrangements" but not allowed heading. Could embed in About the role? Might be okay to include a paragraph about Modes of Work under About the role.

Thus we keep: Job Summary, Modes of Work, Additional Information (background check), Additional Information About NERS, About Michigan Engineering, About University Of Michigan. Also maybe "Job Summary" is about the role. We'll use About the role
for Job Summary.
We need to decide what to put under Requirements: The job summary includes: "The successful candidate will be an outstanding scholar with an earned doctorate in a research field related to nuclear engineering and radiological sciences and will have an exemplary record of achievement in research, teaching, and service at a level commensurate with appointment as a tenured full professor. The successful candidate will demonstrate visionary leadership abilities and a broad appreciation for the diverse perspectives within the department." That's qualifications/requirements. So we can put that under Requirements
as a
or
- . It's prose; we can use
. Responsibilities: The job summary also includes: "The candidate will lead and support faculty, students, and staff in research excellence and promote high-quality education and mentorship at all levels, from undergraduate education to graduate and post-doctoral research, and early and mid-career advancement. The candidate will work with a diverse group of faculty, staff, students and administrators to achieve common goals and to maintain rapport with alumni and industry representatives and our colleagues in the College of Engineering and the University more broadly." That's responsibilities. So we can have
Responsibilities
with that prose. Thus we have sections: About the role (maybe we can combine with Job Summary? But we already used About the role for Job Summary; but we also have Responsibilities and Requirements separate. Could also keep About the role as brief overview; but we already used Job Summary for overview. Might be redundant. However instructions: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements. We'll not duplicate content. We'll split Job Summary into About the role (overview) and Responsibilities and Requirements.
Let's extract overview: "The Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences (NERS) in the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan invites applications and nominations for the position of Department Chair." That's overview. Could be About the role.
Then Responsibilities as above.
Then Requirements as doctorate, record, leadership, appreciation.
Now Additional Information: background check etc. Could be under "Additional Information" but not a standard heading; we could incorporate into About the role or Requirements? Probably better to have a section "Additional Information" but not in allowed list. The allowed list includes Benefits, Pay, Schedule, etc. Not Additional Information. So we may need to drop it or incorporate elsewhere. The rule: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could incorporate background check into About the role? Not ideal but maybe we can add a paragraph under About the role about employment requirements. However the rule says we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to keep it somewhere. We could create a section with heading Additional Information
even though not in the example list? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive list? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. But we could still use other headings? Safer to stick to those. We could fold background check into Requirements or About the role as a sentence. That preserves info.
Similarly, Additional Information About NERS, About Michigan Engineering, About University Of Michigan: these are descriptive; could be under About the role? Or we could have separate sections like "About the Department", "About the College", "About the University". Not in allowed list. Could we treat them as "About the role"? Might be too broad. Perhaps we can create sections with headings like "About the Department", "About the College", "About the University". The instruction didn't forbid other headings, just gave examples. It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests those are typical but not exclusive. However to be safe, we could use those headings and embed the info accordingly. For instance, we could have About the role (overview), Responsibilities, Requirements, and then maybe a section "About the Department" but that's not in list. Could we treat it as "About the role"? Not accurate.
Given the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should limit sections. Maybe we can combine all descriptive info into one section "About the role" that includes overview, department, college, university. That would be a few sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements. That's three sections. That seems okay.
Thus we will produce:
About the role
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. But we could still use other headings? Safer to stick to those. We could fold background check into Requirements or About the role as a sentence. That preserves info.

About the role
... overview + department description + college + university ...
Responsibilities

We must not include EEO statement. Now we need to embed all this into About the role paragraph(s). Could be multipleunder same heading? The instruction: Use
for prose. So we can have multiple
elements under the heading. Thus:
