College of Engineering Technology, Research Associate

We need to output HTML fragment with sections using

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the posting. Key info: - Position Highlights: RIT College of Engineering Technology (CET), Department of Civil Engineering Technology, Environmental Management, and Safety (CETEMS) is inviting applications for a DOL grant funded Research Associate position. - Start date negotiable, as early as March 1, 2027, but no later than September 1, 2027. - Position is grant funded and temporary. - Initial appointment 12 months, renewable depending on funding availability and performance. - Work location: Bethesda Maryland. - Key Responsibilities Include (list many topics): - Neuroscience with EEG - Data Science and Artificial Intelligence - Multi-physics and multi-scale simulation using high performance computing - Finite element analysis using MOOSE and ABAQUS - Constitutive models of asphalt binder and mixture, balanced mix design and pavement engineering - Drone surveying using LiDAR and photogrammetry - SLAM, autonomous driving and mobile robotics - Remote sensing, image/video processing and computer vision - Object detection, tracking and classification using deep learning - Monitoring of transportation and energy infrastructure - Transportation safety and traffic safety - Vehicle dynamics simulation and traffic simulation using VISSIM - Gamification using Unreal and Omniverse for Smart Cities and Crowd Digital Twin - Preferred Qualifications: - Master's or PhD degree - Effective writing and communication skills - Strong publication record - Ability to work independently - Ability to work with undergraduate and graduate research students - Strong background in laboratory experiment or numerical computation - Familiar with Matlab, C++, Python, Java, or other programming language - Proficient in one of the software packages: PFC, VISSIM, ABQUS, COMSOL, MOOSE, LS-DYNA, optimization, TensorFlow, SAS, R, optical modeling - Essential Duties & Responsibilities (list): - Assists with the setup and execution of experiments and laboratory analyses under the guidance of senior researchers - Collects, analyzes, and assists in interpreting data, providing preliminary findings to support ongoing research projects - Participates in the preparation and development of research reports, presentations, and publications to disseminate experimental results and findings - Maintains laboratory equipment and instruments, ensuring they are calibrated, functional, and ready for experiments - Enforces safety protocols and compliance standards in the laboratory to ensure a safe work environment and the proper handling, storage, and disposal of materials and chemicals - Performs administrative tasks related to laboratory scheduling, resource allocation, inventory control, and detailed record-keeping of research activities - Other duties as assigned - Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities: - Knowledge of principles and practices of relevant field of research - Knowledge of the standards, regulations, and protocols related to the proper handling, storage, and disposal of laboratory materials, chemicals, and waste - Skill in Microsoft Office Suite and applicable research software - Skill in time management, organization, and multi-tasking in high volume environments - Skill in maintaining detailed records of research activities, ensuring documentation is thorough and easily accessible - Ability to set up, calibrate, trouble shoot, or instruct the use of laboratory equipment and instruments - Minimum Education & Experience: - Associate's degree in related field - 1 year of relevant experience - Equivalent combination of experience and education may be considered - Job Level Overview: Operations, Administrative, Service, or Technical Support Level 1 - entry-level role building knowledge and skills. Performs routine, well-defined, easy-to-understand tasks that can typically be learned in a short period of time. Work is performed under close supervision using clearly prescribed methods and detailed instructions. - FLSA Category: Non-Exempt - Work Location: Remote (contradicts earlier location Bethesda Maryland? Actually posting says work location of this position is in Bethesda Maryland, but later says Work Location Remote. We must preserve both? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include both statements. However we need to decide where to put them. Likely "Work Location" is a section heading? We have Schedule, Benefits, Pay sections only if posting states them. Work Location is not one of the allowed headings; we could put it in a paragraph under About the role or maybe a separate paragraph. Since we only allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Work Location not among them, so we should embed it in About the role paragraph. - Compensation: $17.90 - $28.60 Hourly - Application Materials etc: we must remove application instructions. So we drop that section. - Additional Details: Pay Transparency Act, salary range listed above, factors, hiring process may require background check, etc. This is boilerplate/legal? It's about pay transparency and hiring process. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The Pay Transparency Act statement might be considered legal? It's about salary range disclosure; maybe we keep it as it's substantive? But it's more about compliance. The instruction says remove legal boilerplate. Likely we should remove that. Also the equal opportunity statement is boilerplate; remove. Also the reasonable accommodations statement; remove. Also the copyright line; remove. Also the Posted by FREE value-added recruitment advertising agency; remove. Thus we keep substantive info: position highlights, start date, grant funded, temporary, appointment length, work location (Bethesda Maryland, also Remote?), responsibilities list, preferred qualifications, essential duties, knowledge/skills/abilities, minimum education/experience, job level overview, FLSA category, compensation. We need to map to sections. About the role: could include position highlights, start date, grant funded, temporary, appointment length, work location (maybe both Bethesda Maryland and Remote). Also maybe mention DOL grant funded Research Associate position. Responsibilities: could combine Key Responsibilities Include list and Essential Duties & Responsibilities list. But we must not duplicate. We could merge them into one responsibilities section. However we need to avoid duplication. The posting has two lists: "Key Responsibilities Include" (a list of topics) and "Essential Duties & Responsibilities" (a list of specific duties). Both are responsibilities. We'll combine them into a single

• list, preserving all items. Ensure no duplication: check if any items overlap. They are distinct: first list is topical areas; second list is duties. We'll include both. Requirements: maybe Minimum Education & Experience? Or Job Level Overview? The heading "Requirements" could be used for minimum education/experience and maybe job level overview. But we also have "Qualifications" for preferred qualifications. "Skills" for knowledge, skills, abilities. "Benefits" maybe none. "Pay" for compensation. "Schedule" maybe none (no schedule info). So we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay. Possibly also Schedule if there is schedule info (none). Benefits none. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So we omit Benefits and Schedule. Now we need to format. We'll output:

  About the role

  ...

  Inside p we can include multiple sentences. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's craft. About the role: - RIT College of Engineering Technology (CET), Department of Civil Engineering Technology, Environmental Management, and Safety (CETEMS) is inviting applications for a DOL grant funded Research Associate position. - Start date negotiable, as early as March 1, 2027, but no later than September 1, 2027. - Position is grant funded and temporary. - Initial appointment is for 12 months, renewable depending on funding availability and performance. - Work location: Bethesda Maryland (also noted as Remote in some details). We'll mention both: "Work location is in Bethesda Maryland; the posting also indicates remote work possibilities." But we must not invent. The posting says both: "The work location of this position is in Bethesda Maryland." and later "Work Location Remote". So we can say: "Work location is listed as Bethesda Maryland, with a remote work option indicated." That's preserving both. Now Responsibilities: combine lists. We'll create
  • for each item. List from Key Responsibilities Include: - Neuroscience with EEG - Data Science and Artificial Intelligence - Multi-physics and multi-scale simulation using high performance computing - Finite element analysis using MOOSE and ABAQUS - Constitutive models of asphalt binder and mixture, balanced mix design and pavement engineering - Drone surveying using LiDAR and photogrammetry - SLAM, autonomous driving and mobile robotics - Remote sensing, image/video processing and computer vision - Object detection, tracking and classification using deep learning - Monitoring of transportation and energy infrastructure - Transportation safety and traffic safety - Vehicle dynamics simulation and traffic simulation using VISSIM - Gamification using Unreal and Omniverse for Smart Cities and Crowd Digital Twin Essential Duties & Responsibilities: - Assists with the setup and execution of experiments and laboratory analyses under the guidance of senior researchers - Collects, analyzes, and assists in interpreting data, providing preliminary findings to support ongoing research projects - Participates in the preparation and development of research reports, presentations, and publications to disseminate experimental results and findings - Maintains laboratory equipment and instruments, ensuring they are calibrated, functional, and ready for experiments - Enforces safety protocols and compliance standards in the laboratory to ensure a safe work environment and the proper handling, storage, and disposal of materials and chemicals - Performs administrative tasks related to laboratory scheduling, resource allocation, inventory control, and detailed record-keeping of research activities - Other duties as assigned We'll combine them into one list. Now Requirements: Minimum Education & Experience and Job Level Overview and FLSA Category maybe. Minimum Education & Experience: - Associate's degree in related field - 1 year of relevant experience - Equivalent combination of experience and education may be considered Job Level Overview: Operations, Administrative, Service, or Technical Support Level 1 - entry-level role building knowledge and skills. Performs routine, well-defined, easy-to-understand tasks that can typically be learned in a short period of time. Work is performed under close supervision using clearly prescribed methods and detailed instructions. FLSA Category: Non-Exempt We could put all in

    or

    . Since it's a list of requirements, we can use
    . Now Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list. - Master's or PhD degree - Effective writing and communication skills - Strong publication record - Ability to work independently - Ability to work with undergraduate and graduate research students - Strong background in laboratory experiment or numerical computation - Familiar with Matlab, C++, Python, Java, or other programming language - Proficient in one of the software packages: PFC, VISSIM, ABQUS, COMSOL, MOOSE, LS-DYNA, optimization, TensorFlow, SAS, R, optical modeling Now Skills: Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities list. - Knowledge of principles and practices of relevant field of research - Knowledge of the standards, regulations, and protocols related to the proper handling, storage, and disposal of laboratory materials, chemicals, and waste - Skill in Microsoft Office Suite and applicable research software - Skill in time management, organization
