We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections present with real content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove Benefits section unless posting actually states them. The posting has "Benefits For information regarding our Benefits, click here." That's not substantive; it's a placeholder. So we should NOT include Benefits section. Pay: "Salary: Commensurate with experience" is placeholder; we should NOT include Pay section. Schedule: "Work Schedule As required to meet the academic schedule." That's vague but maybe we can include Schedule if it's real? It says "As required to meet the academic schedule." That's still vague but it's actual statement. However guidelines: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state Work Schedule: "As required to meet the academic schedule." That's not placeholder like "not specified" but it's still vague. I'd consider it real enough to include Schedule section. But we need to see if they want us to include only when posting has real, specific content. "As required to meet the academic schedule." is not specific but it's content. I'd include Schedule.
We need sections: About Us? The posting includes "About Us - Values Overview" with a paragraph about UNT System. That's substantive. Could be a section "About Us". Use

We need sections: About Us? The posting includes "About Us - Values Overview" with a paragraph about UNT System. That's substantive. Could be a section "About Us". Use About Us
then
... content. Department Summary: also substantive. Could be its own section "Department Summary". Or combine with About Us? Probably separate. Position Overview: also substantive. Minimum Qualifications: list. Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: list. Preferred Qualifications: list. Job Duties: list. Physical Requirements: list? It's a list of items separated by periods. Could be
- .
Environmental Hazards: statement.
Work Schedule: statement.
Driving University Vehicle: statement.
Security Sensitive: statement.
Special Instructions: includes references etc. That's application instructions? It says "Special Instructions Applicants must submit a minimum of two professional references as part of their application..." That's application instruction; we should remove application instructions per rule: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should drop Special Instructions.
Also "Retirement Eligibility: TRS Eligible" maybe minor metadata; could be folded into short
or drop. Probably drop as minor metadata. "Employee Classification: Instructional Lab Coordinator" maybe metadata; could be short p. "Campus: University of North Texas - Dallas" etc. Probably drop. We need to preserve all substantive information; but we can drop metadata like classification, campus, division, etc. The instruction says: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can drop those metadata lines. Thus we keep: About Us - Values Overview, Department Summary, Position Overview, Minimum Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, Preferred Qualifications, Job Duties, Physical Requirements, Environmental Hazards, Work Schedule, Driving University Vehicle, Security Sensitive. We need to format each as
heading and then content. For lists: Minimum Qualifications is a sentence: "A bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related discipline, and experience in instructional support, lab coordination, academic support services, classroom technology support, or related administrative operations; or any equivalent combination of education, training and experience. Candidates who will complete the bachelor’s degree by the position start date will be considered." That's prose; could be
. Not a list. Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: list of items separated by periods. Could be
- each.
Preferred Qualifications: two items.
Job Duties: many items separated by periods; could be
- .
Physical Requirements: list of items separated by periods.
Environmental Hazards: sentence.
Work Schedule: sentence.

We need to ensure we don't duplicate content.
Let's extract exact text.
