We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the description includes Summary, Job Description, Primary Duties And Responsibilities, Required Qualifications, About The Department Of Health & Human Performance, About Austin Peay State University, Starting Date. We need to use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to appropriate headings. The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should use those exact headings when applicable. But we can also use other headings if they match content? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they want us to use those headings for sections. We need to include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to decide which sections apply. We have content about role (summary, job description). Could map to "About the role". Responsibilities: we have Primary Duties And Responsibilities. Requirements: we have Required Qualifications. Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? Could combine? But we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections if distinct. However we should avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine into one "Requirements" or "Qualifications". The instruction says use those headings as examples; we can choose which to include. We also have "About The Department Of Health & Human Performance" and "About Austin Peay State University". Those could be under "About the role"? Not exactly. Could be separate sections like "About the Department" and "About the University". But the instruction only lists certain headings; maybe we should stick to those headings. However we could still use

for any section heading; the examples are just examples. It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use any heading but must be

. So we can use headings like "About the Department", "About the University". That seems fine. We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is not explicitly given but it's "founding Director of the Master of Athletic Training program". We should not repeat that as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. There's none. We must preserve all substantive information. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's structure:

Start Date

Starting Date: July 1, 2027

We should not include Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections because not specified. Check for any duplicated lines: The text repeats some content; we need to ensure we include all substantive info but not duplicate. Let's extract substantive info: From Description: - This is a tenure-track position available at the Associate or Full Professor rank (faculty/director role) beginning July 1, 2027. - Summary: Austin Peay State University's Department of Health and Human Performance seeks a dynamic leader to serve as the founding Director of the Master of Athletic Training program.

We need to avoid duplication: The starting date appears twice; we can include once. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "For more information, visit www.apsu.edu." That's substantive? It's a URL; could be considered substantive but maybe it's okay to keep. It's not boilerplate; it's a reference. We'll keep. Now produce HTML. We'll use

About the role

with paragraph combining summary and job description. Let's craft paragraph: "This is a tenure-track position available at the Associate or Full Professor rank (faculty/director role) beginning July 1, 2027. Austin Peay State University's Department of Health and Human Performance seeks a dynamic leader to serve as the founding Director of the Master of Athletic Training program.

The successful candidate is expected to lead and maintain the program through the CAATE accreditation, teach classes, conduct scholarship, advise/mentor students, and provide service to the University, their profession, and the community." That covers summary and job description. Now Responsibilities: list each duty. We have: - Lead the MAT program through the initial CAATE accreditation and all subsequent annual reviews, re-accreditations, and other CAATE requirements. - All administrative duties as required by Austin Peay to achieve program outcomes. - Recruit and retain additional program faculty. - Teach courses within the Kinesiology and Health and Human Performance undergraduate programs and the Master of Athletic Training graduate program. - Conduct research within his/her discipline. - Provide service to the Department, College, and University We'll put each as
  • . Now Requirements: list each qualification. - Hold a Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree, including but not limited to EdD, DAT, DSc, ScD from an accredited institution of higher education in athletic training or a related field. - Hold current national BOC certification as an Athletic Trainer and be in good standing with the Board of Certification, Inc. - Be eligible for and maintain Tennessee State licensure. - Demonstrated experience teaching within a CAATE-accredited athletic training program. - Demonstrated experience with the CAATE accreditation processes. - Have at least five years of clinical experience in athletic training. - Demonstrated scholarship in athletic training (or related field). - Have at least 5+ years of teaching experience in a full-time academic appointment. Now About the Department: paragraph. Now About the University: paragraph. Now Start Date: paragraph. We should not include any empty sections. Now output HTML. Check for any duplicated content: We included the starting date in About the role paragraph and also separate Start Date section. Might be duplication. Better to only include once. The About the role paragraph already mentions beginning July 1, 2027 and inaugural cohort launching Summer 2027. The separate Start Date section may be redundant. We can either keep the separate section and remove the date from the About the role paragraph, or keep date in About the role and drop separate section. Since we have a Start Date section, we could keep it and adjust About the role to not repeat the date. However the About the role paragraph also includes "beginning July 1, 2027" which is substantive. If we remove it, we lose that info. But we can keep it in About the role and also have Start Date section; that's duplication but maybe acceptable? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is not prohibited explicitly, but we should avoid duplicated lines. It says "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and
