We need to output HTML fragment with headings
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to extract relevant content.
Let's parse posting:
Job Description paragraph: "In this internship you will support vulnerability mitigation and secure operations for INL’s Linux-based High Performance Computing environment. Work may include researching relevant CVEs, helping prioritize vulnerabilities based on actual system exposure, supporting patching or mitigation efforts, and documenting findings for HPC system administrators and security staff.

We need to include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not create sections with filler. So we need to map content.
- About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph describing the internship role. That's substantive.
- Responsibilities: The tasks: researching CVEs, prioritizing vulnerabilities, supporting patching, documenting findings, scripting, Git-based documentation, configuration management, security log analysis. Also reporting to HPC team. Could be separate.
- Requirements: Minimum qualifications (enrolled full time, GPA, work authorization, resume, transcripts, class schedule). Could be "Requirements".
- Qualifications: Ideal candidate qualifications (experience/coursework lists). Could be "Qualifications".
- Skills: Could combine some of the ideal candidate specifics? Might be overlapping. But we need to decide if we have enough distinct content for Skills. The posting includes "Information management and computer systems experience/coursework..." etc. That could be considered skills. We could put those under Skills.
- Benefits: Paid holiday time off, travel reimbursements. Also maybe multi-level? Not benefit. So Benefits section.
- Pay: The compensation ranges.
- Schedule: The team works a 9x80 schedule onsite at Idaho Falls campus. Also start date and duration vary. So schedule info.
We must not include sections like "About Us" etc. So we will omit mission, vision, etc.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, selective service, reasonable accommodation, other information.
We must not include physical requirement? That's substantive but not in given sections; maybe we could incorporate into Requirements or Qualifications? But it's not a typical heading. The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for those sections. It says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should stick to those given. Physical requirement could be placed under Requirements or Qualifications? It's a requirement about physical ability. Could be part of Requirements. We'll include it there.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No job title given explicitly; we can ignore.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting that are not boilerplate.

- The employee must occasionally lift and/or move up to 35 pounds without assistance.
- Sufficient visual acuity and hearing capacity to perform the essential functions and interact with people is required.
- Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
We need to decide where to put physical requirement. Could be under Requirements (as a requirement). We'll include it there.
Now we need to produce HTML with headings and appropriate content.
We must not include any markdown fences.
We need to decide which sections to include:
- About the role: Could be the first paragraph(s) describing the internship role. We'll include the description paragraph(s) that talk about what you will do, maybe combine with responsibilities? But we have separate Responsibilities section. So About the role could be a brief overview: "In this internship you will support vulnerability mitigation and secure operations for INL’s Linux-based High Performance Computing environment." plus maybe reporting to team. We'll keep it concise but preserve all info? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we cannot omit details; we must keep all substantive info. If we split into sections, we must ensure we don't lose any info. So we need to allocate each piece of info to a section without omission or duplication.
Thus we need to decide a mapping that covers all substantive info exactly once.
Let's list all substantive info chunks:
1. Role description: "In this internship you will support vulnerability mitigation and secure operations for INL’s Linux-based High Performance Computing environment."
2. Work may include researching relevant CVEs, helping prioritize vulnerabilities based on actual system exposure, supporting patching or mitigation efforts, and documenting findings for HPC system administrators and security staff.
3. Depending on the student’s skills and interests, the project may also include scripting, Git-based documentation, configuration management, or security log analysis.
4. Reporting to the High Performance Computing team.
5. This team works a 9x80 schedule onsite at our Idaho Falls campus.
6. Start date and duration of internship vary based on project and student availability.
7. You may be eligible for course credit for this internship if approved by your university.
