We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions? The instruction says: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove EEO statement, USG Core Values, etc. Also remove "Special Instructions to Applicants" (application instructions). Also remove "Posting Details" repeated lines, "Posting Number", etc. Also remove "Background Investigation Policy", "Credit and P-Card policy", etc. Also remove "Physical Demands"? That might be considered part of Requirements? It's not a standard heading but could be included under Requirements or Qualifications? The instruction says use headings only for those categories; we can embed other info under appropriate sections. For Physical Demands, maybe under Requirements? But it's not a requirement; maybe we can put under Requirements as a bullet? However we should not invent sections. We could include Physical Demands under Requirements as a bullet list item. But we need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract substantive content:
- About the University of Georgia: description, ranking, location, enrollment, etc. This is about the university, not the role. Could be placed under "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is for role description. But we have "About The College/Unit/Department" and "About the University of Georgia". Could combine into a section about the role/department. The instruction: use
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions?

Actually "About the role" is for role description. But we have "About The College/Unit/Department" and "About the University of Georgia". Could combine into a section about the role/department. The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have "About the role" heading and include description of the department/university and role summary.

- Percentage Of Time: 100 (full-time). Not needed as separate heading maybe under Responsibilities.
- Anticipated Start Date: 08/01/2027. This is schedule info? Could be under Schedule section. The posting includes Anticipated Start Date. Also Effective End Date (for Limited-Term postings) not given. So we have start date. Also Contract Type Academic (9 mo.). So schedule: nine-month academic contract, start Aug 1 2027.
- Pay: Not explicitly given a number, but statement: "In recognition of the important role that clinical faculty play, starting salaries for clinical faculty match those for tenure-track faculty". That's substantive but not a specific number. The instruction says: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Here they state that starting salaries match tenure-track faculty, which is a statement about pay but not a specific number. Is that considered filler? It's not a placeholder like "commensurate with experience". It's a statement that salaries match tenure-track. That is substantive. So we can include a Pay section with that statement.
- Benefits: The posting mentions "Employment Type Employee Benefits Eligibility Benefits Eligible". Also "Retirement Plan TRS or ORP". So there is benefits info: Benefits Eligible, Retirement Plan TRS or ORP. Also maybe "Employment Type Employee". So we can include Benefits section with those details.
- Schedule: we have Contract Type Academic (9 mo.), Anticipated Start Date 08/01/2027. Also maybe "Opportunities exist for summer teaching appointments." That's schedule-related. So we can include Schedule section.
- Also "Posting Type External", "Retirement Plan TRS or ORP", "Employment Type Employee", "Benefits Eligibility Benefits Eligible". Already captured.
- "Underutilization Advertised Salary" maybe a field but no value.
- "Job Posting Date 09/18/2026", "Job Closing Date Open until filled Yes". Those are metadata; we can drop per 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 date etc. But maybe better to drop as minor metadata. The instruction says "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." We could include a
with posting date and closing date. But not required. Safer to drop. - "Special Instructions to Applicants" is application instructions, remove. - "EEO Statement", "USG Core Values Statement", "Background Investigation Policy", "Credit and P-Card policy", etc remove. - "Physical Demands" we can include under Requirements or Qualifications? Probably under Requirements as a bullet. Now structure:

Qualifications
Maybe we separate Minimum Qualifications vs Preferred? The instruction includes Qualifications heading. Could put Minimum Qualifications there. Or we could put Preferred under Skills. Let's decide: Use Qualifications for minimum qualifications (doctorate). Use Skills for preferred knowledge, skills, abilities. Use Requirements for experience and physical demands. That seems logical. Thus:Qualifications
- Earned doctorate in Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, or a related field by the time of employment
