We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Need to extract sections: About the role? Not present. Job Summary is present. Responsibilities present. Required Qualifications present. Desired Qualifications present. Benefits? Not present. Pay? Not present. Schedule? Not present (though mentions on-site three days per week, but that's schedule info; but rule: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state "Three days per week of on-site work". That's schedule info. Should we include a Schedule section? The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state schedule: "Three days per week of on-site work". So we could include a Schedule section with that detail. However we must not repeat job title as heading. Also we must not include Job ID etc. Also we need to remove boilerplate like "How to Apply", "Please Note", "Application Deadline", "U-M EEO Statement", "Background Screening", "Work Locations", "Modes of Work", etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Keep substantive info.
We need to preserve all substantive information: job summary, responsibilities, required qualifications, desired qualifications, schedule (on-site three days per week). Also maybe mention location? The location is "office suite at the 777 Building" and "free, on-site parking". That's location info; could be part of About the role? Not a defined heading. Could we include a section "Work Location"? Not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we cannot add custom headings. So location info maybe goes under About the role? But we don't have About the role content. Could we treat location as part of About the role? The rule: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not exclusive list? It says use
. Ensure we keep all details.
We need to copy the responsibility text exactly as given, but we can trim extra spaces. Must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to copy the full text for each responsibility area.
Let's extract the three sections:
From the posting:

We need to keep that exactly.

Background in Development Research or an equivalent amount of relevant experience in an academic, nonprofit, or corporate setting is desired. Familiarity with the University organization, policies, and procedures is desirable.
Now schedule: we have "Three days per week of on-site work at the MM Office of Development offices." Already included in Required Qualifications and also in Job Summary. But we should still include schedule section maybe with that detail. However we risk duplicating info. The rule: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is okay if it's already present elsewhere? It says remove duplicated lines. So we should avoid duplicating the same sentence. The schedule info appears in Required Qualifications and also in Job Summary. We should keep only one instance. Since we already have Required Qualifications section containing that line, we could omit it from Schedule to avoid duplication. But we need to include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state schedule, but we already have that info in Required Qualifications. If we create Schedule section, we would need to include the schedule detail, which would duplicate. To avoid duplication, we could either not include Schedule section (since the info is already captured elsewhere) or we could include Schedule section and remove the duplicate from Required Qualifications. Which is better? The rule: "remove duplicated lines". So we should eliminate duplication. So we could
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not exclusive list? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely only those headings allowed. So we must fit content into those categories. Location could be part of About the role (maybe). But we have no explicit About the role content. Could we create About the role with location and maybe brief description? But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We could include location as a paragraph under About the role? That would be adding content not originally under that heading but it's still substantive info. The rule: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Adding location under About the role is not inventing; it's just placing it there. However we must not create a heading if the posting has no real, specific content for it. Does the posting have content for About the role? Not explicitly, but we could argue that the job summary is essentially about the role. But we already have Job Summary separate. The allowed headings do not include Job Summary. So we need to map Job Summary to one of the allowed headings. Perhaps "About the role" is appropriate for job summary. So we can put the Job Summary paragraph under About the role. That would preserve the summary. Then Responsibilities as given. Required Qualifications as Requirements? The allowed headings include Requirements and Qualifications. Could split: Required Qualifications under Requirements, Desired Qualifications under Qualifications. Or we could combine both under Qualifications. But we need to preserve all info. Use Requirements for required qualifications, Qualifications for desired qualifications. Skills? Not present. Benefits? Not present. Pay? Not present. Schedule: we have schedule info (three days per week on-site). So we can add Schedule section with that detail.
We must not include boilerplate like "How to Apply", "Please Note", "Application Deadline", "U-M EEO Statement", "Background Screening", "Work Locations", "Modes of Work", etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:
