Des Lee Endowed Professor in Music Education

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to extract content. Given posting: Hiring Department etc. We need to produce sections. Identify content: - About the role: description of position, collaborative, etc. Could be a paragraph. - Responsibilities: maybe not explicitly listed; but we have description: direct the E. Desmond Lee Fine Arts Education Collaborative, assume senior leadership in music education for Department of Music, teach three courses per year, appropriate research/creative activity expectation. Also community outreach and engagement. So we can list responsibilities. - Requirements/Qualifications: terminal degree in music education, outstanding record of scholarly/admin achievement, grant writing, budget implementation/management highly desirable. - Skills: maybe not explicit; but we can infer: collaborative, community-engaged, articulate advocate, thoughtful communicator, builds trust, values perspectives, engages authentically, interdisciplinary interest. - Benefits: mention eligibility for University benefits, comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, retirement, educational fee discounts. - Pay: "The salary is competitive, negotiable, and will be commensurate with qualifications and experience." This is vague but it's actual statement. However rule: do NOT create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state salary is competitive, negotiable, commensurate with qualifications and experience. That's not a specific number but it's still stating something. The rule says: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The phrase "commensurate with qualifications and experience" is considered filler? It says "commensurate with experience" is example of filler. So we should not create Pay section because it's just that phrase. So we omit Pay. - Schedule: "twelve-month faculty appointment" and "teach three courses or the equivalent per year". That's schedule info. Could be considered schedule. But rule: never create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does state twelve-month appointment and teaching load. That's specific enough. So we can include Schedule section. - Benefits: we have explicit benefits description, so include Benefits. - Skills: we have some descriptors; could be included. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, visa sponsorship, application instructions, contact info, etc. Remove those. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like: joint appointment between College of Arts and Sciences and College of Education, direct the E. Desmond Lee Fine Arts Education Collaborative, senior leadership position in music education for Department of Music, collaborative links UMSL and 26 area arts organizations including St Louis Symphony and Opera Theatre St Louis to schools in under-resourced districts, part of Des Lee Collaborative Vision (DLCV) etc. Also mention that faculty positions part of DLCV distinct because primary responsibility is community outreach and engagement. Seek collegial, collaborative, community-engaged artist-scholar who is energetic, innovative, visionary leader, articulate advocate for arts. Demonstrate strong record of developing meaningful reciprocal partnerships with external arts orgs, schools, community. Thoughtful communicator who builds trust, values all perspectives, engages authentically and respectfully across contexts. Broadly interactive and interdisciplinary, with demonstrated interest in engaging scholars across fields and connecting arts to wider public through sustained collaborative mutually beneficial work. Twelve-month faculty appointment at rank of associate or full professor. Teach three courses or equivalent per year, determined by mutual agreement. Appropriate research/creative activity expectation. Qualifications: terminal degree in music education, outstanding record of scholarly and/or administrative achievement in music education. Successful experiences in grant writing, budget implementation and management highly desirable. Benefits: eligible for University benefits, comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental and vision plans, retirement, educational fee discounts for all four UM System campuses. Also maybe mention sponsorship? That's boilerplate? It's about visa sponsorship; could be considered substantive? It's about employment visa sponsorship may be available for candidates currently in US in H-1B status or other work-authorized status. That's substantive but maybe considered immigration info; but rule says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Visa sponsorship is not exactly those; it's a substantive detail about eligibility. Might keep? However we have to decide. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Visa sponsorship is not those; it's a substantive detail about eligibility. Could keep under maybe a section like "Eligibility" but we don't have a heading for that. We could incorporate into Benefits or Qualifications? Probably better to keep as a short paragraph under maybe "Additional Information". But we only allowed headings from list. Could we add a section like "Eligibility"? Not in allowed headings list. The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings; not others. So we should not create other headings. So we need to fit visa sponsorship into one of those sections, maybe under Qualifications or Benefits? It's not exactly qualification but could be under "Qualifications" as additional eligibility. Or we could drop it if it's considered boilerplate? It's not exactly boilerplate but it's about visa sponsorship. Might be considered part of "Application Materials"? But we are to remove application instructions. Visa sponsorship is not instruction but info. However to be safe, maybe we can include it under "Qualifications" as a note: "Employment visa sponsorship may be available for candidates currently in the United States in H-1B status or other work-authorized status." That is substantive. Also we have contact info and application materials; those are application instructions, remove. We also have "For further information please contact the Chair of the search committee, Dr. Andy Goodman, goodmanjam@umsl.edu." That's application instruction/contact, remove. "For full consideration, candidates must provide a cover letter outlining qualifications and interests and detailed curriculum vitae." That's application instruction, remove. "Sponsorship Information Employment visa sponsorship may be available..." we keep. "Benefit Eligibility This position is eligible for University benefits..." keep. "Equal Employment Opportunity..." remove. Now craft HTML. We need sections only when real content. Let's outline:

We should not include Pay section. Check that we preserved all substantive info: we included description about collaborative, 26 area arts orgs including St Louis Symphony and Opera Theatre St Louis, under-resourced districts, Des Lee Collaborative Vision, 35 endowed professorships, etc. Did we include that? In About the role we need to include those details. Let's craft About the role paragraph with those specifics. Also we need to mention that the professorship is one of 35 endowed professorships comprising the Des Lee Collaborative Vision (DLCV). Also that faculty positions that are part of DLCV are distinct because primary responsibility is community outreach and engagement. Also that the position seeks a collegial, collaborative, community-engaged artist-scholar etc. We have some of that in Skills and Responsibilities but we should also include in About the role. Let's write About the role paragraph: "The E. Desmond Lee Endowed Professorship in Music Education is a joint appointment between the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Education at the University of Missouri–St. Louis. The professor will direct the E.

This professorship is one of 35 endowed professorships comprising the Des Lee Collaborative Vision (DLCV), under which faculty members have a primary responsibility for community outreach and engagement." That captures. Now ensure we didn't duplicate content elsewhere. Responsibilities list includes direct the collaborative, senior leadership, teach, research/creative activity, community outreach, develop partnerships, engage authentically, advocate for arts, interdisciplinary collaboration. That's fine. Qualifications list includes terminal degree, outstanding record, grant writing/budget management desirable, visa sponsorship note. Skills list includes personal attributes. Benefits list includes eligibility, medical/dental/vision, retirement, tuition discount. Schedule list includes twelve-month appointment, rank, teaching load. Check for any leftover substantive info not captured: "The professor will be expected to teach three courses or the equivalent per year, to be determined by mutual agreement of the professor and the chairs of the academic units." captured.
