We need to output HTML fragment with sections using for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, navigation, etc. Must not include placeholder text like TBD, N/A, etc. So we need to parse the posting and extract relevant content.

We need to extract sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide what content goes where.
"About the role": maybe a brief description of the position: "The University of Pittsburgh, Department of Neurological Surgery, is hiring a Clinical Research Coordinator III.

"Requirements": maybe minimum education and experience? Or "Requirements" could be education/experience. "Qualifications": maybe preferred qualifications (human subjects clinical research experience). "Skills": maybe specific skills like grant writing, IRB, data management, troubleshooting, etc. "Benefits": maybe none given (they said Hiring Range TBD, Relocation Offered No, Visa Sponsorship No). Benefits not specified, so we should not include Benefits section if no real content. "Pay": Hiring Range TBD Based Upon Qualifications - that's placeholder/TBD, so we should not include Pay section. "Schedule": Work Schedule M-F 8:30am-5pm Occasional Mornings, Evenings and Weekends as needed. That's specific, so include Schedule section.
We also have Work Arrangement On-Campus etc. Could be part of About or maybe separate but not required heading. We could include under About or maybe as part of Responsibilities? Probably not needed.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, navigation, etc. Also must not include Job ID etc. Must not include "Physical Effort", "Assignment Category", etc unless they are substantive? Those are details about job but not under headings we have; maybe we could incorporate into About or Schedule? But they are not under headings we have; we could drop them if not fitting. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep all substantive info, but we must fit into allowed headings. If some info doesn't fit any heading, we could still include as a paragraph under maybe About the role? But we must not create new headings beyond the allowed list. So we can embed extra info in existing sections as paragraphs or list items.
Thus we need to ensure we don't lose info like Physical Effort, Work Arrangement, etc. We can include them as part of About the role or maybe as a separate paragraph under About.
