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. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must not include placeholder text like TBD, N/A, etc. So we need to extract content. Let's parse the posting. First paragraph: "Assists with and adheres to Institutional Review Board (IRB) renewal, modification, and approved protocols. Recruits research subjects and conducts interviews and research assessments. Med-Radiology Coordinates human PET neuroimaging research studies of central nervous system disorders, including substance use and other psychiatric disorders. Recruits and screens research participants, conduct structured clinical interviews and research assessments, and schedule multi-modality study visits. Assists with and adheres to Institutional Review Board (IRB) initial submissions, renewals, modifications, and approved protocols. Maintains source documentation, case report forms, and study tracking systems, and supports scan-day operations under the supervision of the Principal Investigator and Clinical Lab Manager. Opportunity for meaningful research contributions and direct mentorship by Principal Investigator." That's a description of role. Could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". We'll decide. Then "Preferred Qualifications" bullet list: Bachelor’s degree in neuroscience, biology, psychology, or a related field; Prior research, clinical, or volunteer experience with individuals affected by substance use or other psychiatric disorders; Strong organizational skills and comfort coordinating multi-site, time-sensitive schedules; Interest in neuroimaging or a research career in the neurosciences. Then "Essential Functions" with subheadings: Recruitment and Screening; Clinical Interviews and Research Assessments; Study Visit Coordination; Regulatory and Data Management; Physical Effort. Under each subheading there are bullet-like sentences. Then later: "Assignment Category Full-time regular Job Classification Staff.Clinical Research Coordinator I Job Family Research Job Sub-Family Clinical Research Campus Pittsburgh Minimum Education Level Required Bachelor's Degree Minimum Years Of Experience Required No experience required Will this position accept substitution in lieu of education or experience? Combination of education and relevant experience will be considered in lieu of education and/ or experience requirement. Work Schedule Monday - Friday, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Work Arrangement On-Campus: Teams that work on campus, in an office, or in a lab. Hiring Range TBD Based Upon Qualifications Relocation Offered No Visa Sponsorship Provided No Background Check For position finalists, employment with the University will require successful completion of a background check Child Protection Clearances Not Applicable Required Documents Resume Optional Documents Not Applicable" We need to include sections only if they have real specific content. For Pay: "Hiring Range TBD Based Upon Qualifications" - that's placeholder TBD, so we should NOT include Pay section because it's TBD (not specific). Schedule: we have "Work Schedule Monday - Friday, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm" that's specific, so we can include Schedule section. Benefits: not mentioned; we should not include Benefits. Qualifications: we have Preferred Qualifications and also Minimum Education Level Required etc. Could combine into Qualifications section. Responsibilities: we have Essential Functions and earlier description. Could put under Responsibilities. About the role: maybe we can include a brief summary but we must not repeat job title. Could include a short paragraph summarizing role. But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can keep the initial description as About the role. However we need to avoid duplication. The initial description is quite detailed; maybe we treat that as About the role. Then Responsibilities could be the Essential Functions broken down. But we must not repeat same content in two sections. Better to have one section for Responsibilities that includes all duties. The initial description is essentially responsibilities as well. We could combine them into Responsibilities and not have About the role. But the instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. It's okay to omit About the role if we don't have distinct content. We need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. So we can decide to have Responsibilities (covering all duties) and Qualifications (covering preferred qualifications and minimum requirements). Also Schedule (work schedule). Possibly also "Work Arrangement" could be part of Schedule or separate? Not a standard heading; we could include under Schedule or maybe a separate "Work Arrangement" but not in list. The instruction only mentions those headings; we should stick to them. So we can put Work Arrangement maybe under Schedule or as a note in Schedule? But schedule heading is for schedule; work arrangement could be separate but not in allowed headings; maybe we can omit or incorporate into Schedule as additional detail. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop work arrangement. So we need to include it somewhere. Could add a

under Schedule that includes both schedule and work arrangement. Or we could create a separate heading like "Work Arrangement" but that's not in the allowed list; but the instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples but not exclusive? It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should fit all content under those headings. Work Arrangement could be under Schedule or maybe under Responsibilities (as part of role). We'll put under Schedule: include both schedule and work arrangement. Now we need to avoid placeholder text like TBD, N/A, etc. So we must not include Pay section because it's TBD. Also we must not include Benefits because none. Also we must not include Requirements if we have Qualifications; but we could include Requirements as separate if we have content. However we have Minimum Education Level Required etc. That's more like qualifications. We'll put under Qualifications. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title. No headings for Job ID etc. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

Responsibilities

  • ... items ...
But we have many responsibilities; we can break into subheadings? Not allowed; only

for sections. Inside we can use

for prose and

  • for lists. We could keep the essential functions as list items. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract responsibilities from the initial description and Essential Functions. Initial description sentences: - Assists with and adheres to Institutional Review Board (IRB) renewal, modification, and approved protocols. - Recruits research subjects and conducts interviews and research assessments. - Med-Radiology Coordinates human PET neuroimaging research studies of central nervous system disorders, including substance use and other psychiatric disorders. - Recruits and screens research participants, conduct structured clinical interviews and research assessments, and schedule multi-modality study visits. - Assists with and adheres to Institutional Review Board (IRB) initial submissions, renewals, modifications, and approved protocols. - Maintains source documentation, case report forms, and study tracking systems, and supports scan-day operations under the supervision of the Principal Investigator and Clinical Lab Manager. - Opportunity for meaningful research contributions and direct mentorship by Principal Investigator. Then Essential Functions broken down: Recruitment and Screening: - Recruits research participants through community and health system referral partners, including addiction medicine clinics, rehabilitation and medically managed withdrawal programs, intensive outpatient programs, and recovery support organizations, as well as through advertising, registries, and community outreach activities. - Conducts telephone and in-person pre-screening, reviews inclusion and exclusion criteria against the approved protocol. - Assists with the informed consent process under the supervision of the Principal Investigator, including reviewing consent documents with prospective participants, documenting the consent discussion, and confirming comprehension and voluntariness. - Tracks recruitment sources, screening outcomes, enrollment, and retention; prepares enrollment and accrual summaries for investigator and sponsor reporting. Clinical Interviews and Research Assessments: - Conducts structured and semi-structured clinical interviews with research participants, including individuals with psychiatric, substance use, and trauma-related disorders, following protocol-specified training and certification requirements. - Administers, scores, and documents protocol-specified research assessments, including substance use history and timeline follow-back measures, symptom rating scales, and neuropsychological or self-report instruments. - Collects protocol-required screening measures such as vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), urine toxicology, breath alcohol testing, and self-reported substance use, and reports results to the study nurse, Principal Investigator, or study physician for clinical interpretation and eligibility decisions. - Recognizes participant distress or safety concerns raised during interviews and immediately escalates to the study nurse, Principal Investigator, or covering study physician in accordance with the protocol’s safety and escalation pathway. Study Visit Coordination: - Schedules and coordinates multi-modality research visits across the PET facility, MRI facility, aligning participant arrival with radiotracer production and injection timing. - Prepares scan-day materials, source documents, and worksheets; confirms pre-visit requirements such as abstinence intervals, fasting, medication holds, and MRI safety screening questionnaires. - Provides clinical research support during PET and MRI visits, clinical assessments and questionnaires, timing and documentation of protocol events, sample labeling and logging, and specimen transport to the laboratory. - Explains study components to subjects in an understandable manner. - Ensures knowledge of next steps and comfort with upcoming study procedures. Regulatory and Data Management: - Assists with IRB applications, modifications, continuing reviews, reportable events, and study closure documents; maintains submission tracking and approval records. - Ensures studies are conducted as outlined in the approved protocol and in accordance with Good Clinical Practice, HIPAA, and University and sponsor requirements; identifies and reports protocol deviations. - Maintains investigator documentation in audit-ready condition; supports monitoring visits and internal quality reviews. - Maintains physical and electronic study tracking and data files; performs timely and accurate data entry into case report forms and electronic data capture systems, resolves queries, and supports data submission to sponsor-required repositories. Physical Effort: - Must be able to stand or sit for long periods of time. Now we need to avoid duplication: The initial description overlaps with some of these. We could combine them but ensure we don't lose any detail. Perhaps we can keep the Essential Functions as the responsibilities and omit the initial description sentences that are redundant. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; if we omit some sentences that are not covered elsewhere, we lose info. Let's see if any info in initial description is not covered elsewhere. Initial description includes: - Assists with and adheres to IRB renewal, modification, and approved protocols. (Covered in Regulatory and Data Management: assists with IRB applications, modifications, continuing reviews, etc. Also earlier in Essential Functions? Not explicitly but covered.) - Recruits research subjects and conducts interviews and research assessments. (Covered in Recruitment and Screening and Clinical Interviews.) - Med-Radiology Coordinates human PET neuroimaging research studies of central nervous system disorders, including substance use and other psychiatric disorders. (This is a description of the role's focus; not covered elsewhere. Could be included in About the role or Responsibilities as a summary.) - Recruits and screens research participants, conduct structured clinical interviews and research assessments, and schedule multi-modality study visits. (Covered.) - Assists with and adheres to IRB initial submissions, renewals, modifications, and approved protocols. (Similar to first.) - Maintains source documentation, case report forms, and study tracking systems, and supports scan-day operations under the supervision of the Principal Investigator and Clinical Lab Manager. (Covered in Regulatory and Data Management and Study Visit Coordination.) - Opportunity for meaningful research contributions and direct mentorship by Principal Investigator. (Not covered elsewhere; could be a note under Responsibilities or maybe under About the role.) Thus we need to retain those unique points: the Med-Radiology coordination description, and the opportunity for meaningful research contributions and direct
