Communication Studies (Speech Communication) Instructor (Tenure-Track)

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. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Keep substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: - About the role: maybe not present. The posting starts with Campus: College of San Mateo. Could be considered "About the role"? Not explicit. Might not have a separate "About the role". Could skip. - Responsibilities: The "Duties And Responsibilities" section includes many bullet-like sentences. We'll put under

Responsibilities

with

• each duty. - Requirements: The "Employment Standards (acquired through education, training, and/or experience)" includes Knowledge Of, Skills And Abilities, Job Requirements. Could be split into Requirements and Qualifications and Skills. But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. Responsibilities: duties. Requirements: maybe the minimum qualifications (education etc.)? Could be "Job Requirements". Qualifications: maybe "Preferred" or "Additional qualifications"? There's a "Preferred" section after Job Requirements. Skills: maybe "Skills And Abilities" from Employment Standards. Benefits: there is a Benefits section. Pay: not mentioned; no pay info, so omit. Schedule: not mentioned; maybe "Months Per Year: 10" indicates schedule? Could be considered schedule (10 months per year). That's specific. So we can include Schedule section with that info. Also "FLSA Status: Exempt" maybe not needed. We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent. Let's extract content. First, Campus: College of San Mateo. Could be placed in About the role? Might be considered metadata. Could put in a short

  under About the role? But we shouldn't create heading if no real content. Could we treat "Campus: College of San Mateo" as part of About the role? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." So we can include Campus info in a short

  maybe under About the role or just a generic paragraph before sections? But we must output only HTML fragment; we can include a

  with Campus info if we want. However we need to follow heading usage: only use

  for section headings. We can have

  outside headings. Thus we could start with

  Campus: College of San Mateo

  . Then sections. Now Responsibilities: list duties. Let's extract duties from the "Duties And Responsibilities" paragraph. It's a long sentence with many items separated by line breaks? Actually the text: "Teach courses in the communication studies discipline (the college offers day, evening, and hybrid/online classes, and faculty may be required to teach in these formats) using culturally responsive pedagogical techniquesUnderstand and use effective practices for engaging African-American, Latinx, Filipinx, and Pacific-Islander students, who are historically underrepresented and underserved in traditional Communication Studies department classroomsMaintain expertise in current teaching methodologies and curricula and develop instructional materials and techniques to close the equity gaps experienced by African Americans, Latinx, Filipinx, Pacific Islanders, and other disproportionately impacted studentsAssist in new course development, curriculum revisions, and course, program, and institutional assessmentsParticipate in the development and/or selection of course materials, equipment, and technology that will enhance the communication studies offerings of the departmentMaintain expertise in current teaching and discipline technologies by participating in ongoing and intentional professional developmentWhile some courses may be offered online, preference will be given to candidates who can teach face-to-face sectionsParticipate in departmental (program) planning, documentation, meetings, activities, and team-buildingDuties include collaboration with and support of the Communication Studies Center to enhance student learningConsult with students during regularly scheduled office hoursServe as a member of division and college committeesPerform other duties as required by contract, collective bargaining agreement, and general institutional needs" We need to split into sensible list items. Each sentence seems to start with a verb. We'll create

  for each. Let's list: - Teach courses in the communication studies discipline (the college offers day, evening, and hybrid/online classes, and faculty may be required to teach in these formats) using culturally responsive pedagogical techniques - Understand and use effective practices for engaging African-American, Latinx, Filipinx, and Pacific-Islander students, who are historically underrepresented and underserved in traditional Communication Studies department classrooms - Maintain expertise in current teaching methodologies and curricula and develop instructional materials and techniques to close the equity gaps experienced by African Americans, Latinx, Filipinx, Pacific Islanders, and other disproportionately impacted students - Assist in new course development, curriculum revisions, and course, program, and institutional assessments - Participate in the development and/or selection of course materials, equipment, and technology that will enhance the communication studies offerings of the department - Maintain expertise in current teaching and discipline technologies by participating in ongoing and intentional professional development - While some courses may be offered online, preference will be given to candidates who can teach face-to-face sections - Participate in departmental (program) planning, documentation, meetings, activities, and team-building - Duties include collaboration with and support of the Communication Studies Center to enhance student learning - Consult with students during regularly scheduled office hours - Serve as a member of division and college committees - Perform other duties as required by contract, collective bargaining agreement, and general institutional needs Now Requirements: The "Employment Standards (acquired through education, training, and/or experience)" includes Knowledge Of, Skills And Abilities, Job Requirements. But we have separate headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to allocate. Maybe: - Requirements: Job Requirements (education/equivalence) - Qualifications: Preferred qualifications? Or maybe "Knowledge Of" and "Skills And Abilities" could be Qualifications? But we have Skills heading separate. Let's interpret: Requirements: minimum qualifications (education etc.) Qualifications: preferred qualifications (experience with racially minoritized students etc.) Skills: Skills And Abilities (evidence of collaboration, willingness to serve, reflect, expand technology use, motivate students) Benefits: as given. Schedule: Months Per Year: 10 (maybe also FLSA Status Exempt? but schedule is months per year). Could also include "Preference will be given to candidates who can teach face-to-face sections" but that's more responsibility. We'll include Schedule:

  Months per year: 10

  maybe as a

  but it's single. Pay: not present, omit. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO Statement, Annual Security Report, Closes date, application instructions, etc. Remove those. Also remove "Additional Information" maybe includes FLSA Status etc. We can keep FLSA Status? It's not a heading; but it's metadata. Could be folded into a short

  maybe under Additional Information? But we should drop minor metadata unless we want to keep. The instruction: "fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." So we could include a short

  for FLSA Status and Months Per Year? But we already have Schedule for months per year. FLSA Status maybe not needed. We'll keep Campus in a

  at top. Now we need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:
