Dean, School of Dental Medicine

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Job Summary, Core Responsibilities, Why Join Us, Why work for the University (benefits), Qualifications (minimum and preferred), Conditions of Employment, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities, Pay range. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; can fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip "How to Apply", "Questions should be directed to:", "Screening of Applications Begins:", "Anticipated Pay Range:"? Actually pay range is substantive, we need to include Pay section. The "Anticipated Pay Range:" line is part of pay info; we can include that in Pay section. The "Total Compensation Calculator" etc maybe not needed but we can keep as part of benefits? Probably not needed. We need to include Benefits section if posting actually states them. The posting includes "Why work for the University? We offer amazing benefits and exceptional holiday, vacation, and sick leave. The University of Colorado offers an excellent benefits package including: ..." So we should include Benefits section with that list. Schedule: Not mentioned; we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states it. No schedule info, so omit. We need sections: About the role (maybe from Job Summary), Responsibilities (Core Responsibilities), Qualifications (Minimum and Preferred), Skills (Knowledge, Skills and Abilities), Benefits (Why work for the University), Pay (Anticipated Pay Range). Possibly also "Conditions of Employment" could be part of Requirements? But we have only certain headings allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose which to include based on content. We have Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Also we could have About the role (Job Summary). Requirements maybe not needed; we could incorporate Conditions of Employment into Requirements? But we have a separate "Requirements" heading allowed. Could we put Conditions of Employment under Requirements? The posting includes Conditions of Employment (legal authorization). That's a requirement. So we could put that under Requirements heading. Also Knowledge, Skills and Abilities could go under Skills heading. Also we have "Why Join Us" which is more about the school; could be part of About the role? But we already have About the role from Job Summary. Could also incorporate Why Join Us into About the role or maybe separate? But we only have allowed headings; we could add another About the role? Probably better to keep About the role as Job Summary + Why Join Us combined. However we must not invent filler. We can combine them as prose under About the role. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Dean, School of Dental Medicine. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can drop them or put in a short p. Probably drop. We must not include application instructions (How to Apply, Questions, Screening, etc). Remove those. We must not include EEO statement, ADA, Background Check, Vaccination statement (boilerplate). Remove those. We must preserve all substantive information: job summary, core responsibilities, why join us, benefits, qualifications (min/pref), conditions of employment, knowledge/skills/abilities, pay range. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:
