Full-time
We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Submission Guidelines", "Still Have Questions?" etc. Also remove "Recruiting Start Date", "Job Posting Title", "Department", "Grade", "Worker Type", etc unless they are substantive? Those are metadata; we can fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Probably we can include a short paragraph with some metadata like location, hybrid, etc. But we must not create sections like Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. Benefits: there is a Benefits section: "Brown University offers a flexible work/life balance; summer hours, winter break and a comprehensive Benefits package including time off, annual paid holidays; benefits offerings including health, dental, vision, tuition assistance, retirement, wellness, employee discounts and more." Also later: "Benefits of Working at Brown: Please review additional information on the Benefits of Working at Brown." So we have benefits info. So we can include Benefits section with

  • items. Pay: Not mentioned. So we should NOT include Pay section. Schedule: There is mention: "While this role is hybrid, there is an expectation that the Director will be in-person a minimum of 2-3 days per week." Also later: "This is a hybrid position and the employee will be expected to be on campus 3-4 days/week." Also "Scheduled Weekly Hours: 37.5". So schedule info exists: hybrid expectation, days per week, weekly hours. So we can include Schedule section. About the role: we have "About The Opportunity" description. So we can make About the role section. Responsibilities: "Major responsibilities include: Technology evaluation & intellectual property management Deal sourcing, negotiations & execution". Also earlier: "The Director will play an integral role in supporting these new initiatives to integrate and align innovation efforts across all three parties. In this role, the Director serves two key stakeholder groups: Faculty and staff inventors responsible for creating innovative technologies. Industry partners—including investors, entrepreneurs, and companies—focused on commercializing those technologies." So we can list responsibilities. Requirements: Education And Experience: "Advanced degree required (MD and/or PhD preferred) Ideally, a minimum 10 years of experience in academic research, business development, innovation management, or technology commercialization. Experience working with or within academic medical centers is a plus." Qualifications: Might overlap with Requirements; but we can treat "Job Competencies" as Qualifications or Skills. The instruction: Use headings for Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Qualifications: education/experience; Skills: competencies. But we have both Education And Experience and Job Competencies. So we can put Education And Experience under Requirements (or Qualifications). And Job Competencies under Skills. Let's follow: Requirements: Education and Experience. Qualifications: maybe not needed if we already have Requirements; but we could put nothing. Better to avoid empty sections. So we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Schedule. We must not include Pay. Now we need to format lists with
    • . For prose use

      . We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can condense into bullet points but must not lose detail. However we must not invent. We can paraphrase but must keep meaning. It's okay to rephrase as long as we keep the info. Let's extract details: About Brown University: description about mission, flexible work/life balance, summer hours, winter break, comprehensive Benefits package including time off, annual paid holidays; benefits offerings including health, dental, vision, tuition assistance, retirement, wellness, employee discounts and more. Also link to HR page. About The Opportunity: Brown Technology Innovations team fostering entrepreneurial culture within health and biomedical sectors at Brown University, Brown University Health, and Care New England. Upcoming new investments in technology transfer initiatives will help health system-based researchers turn discoveries into real-world applications for patients. Reporting to Senior Director of Business Development – Life Sciences, the Director will play integral role supporting these new initiatives to integrate and align innovation efforts across all three parties. Director serves two stakeholder groups: Faculty and staff inventors creating innovative technologies; Industry partners (investors, entrepreneurs, companies) focused on commercializing those technologies. Major responsibilities: Technology evaluation & intellectual property management; Deal sourcing, negotiations & execution. The Director must demonstrate expertise in technology evaluation, IP protection, and sourcing, negotiation, execution of transactions across life sciences fields such as therapeutics, diagnostics, and health information technology. Education And Experience: Advanced degree required (MD and/or PhD preferred). Ideally, a minimum 10 years of experience in academic research, business development, innovation management, or technology commercialization. Experience working with or within academic medical centers is a plus. Job Competencies: Strong aptitude in patent prosecution and genuine interest in early-stage technologies and emerging markets. Advanced written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills to convey complex technical, legal, and financial concepts. Deep understanding of licensing structures, valuation models, and negotiation strategies for IP and sponsored research agreements. Well-developed network of investors, entrepreneurs, and business development professionals in the life sciences sector. Ability to work independently, analyze complex policy issues, and follow through with minimal oversight. Proven ability to engage effectively with diverse internal and external constituencies across all organizational levels. Hybrid expectation: While this role is hybrid, there is an expectation that the Director will be in-person a minimum of 2-3 days per week. Later: This is a hybrid position and the employee will be expected to be on campus 3-4 days/week. Also Scheduled Weekly Hours: 37.5. Benefits: flexible work/life balance; summer hours, winter break; comprehensive Benefits package including time off, annual paid holidays; benefits offerings including health, dental, vision, tuition assistance, retirement, wellness, employee discounts and more. Also mention: "Please review additional information on the Benefits of Working at Brown." but we can just include the benefits. We should not include boilerplate like EEO, submission guidelines, recruiting start date, job posting title, department, grade, worker type, etc. Also not include "Additional Information Applicants are asked to include a resume and cover letter..." that's application instructions; remove. Also remove "This is a hybrid position and the employee will be expected to be on campus 3-4 days/week." Actually that's schedule info, we keep. But we already have schedule info; we can keep that sentence as part of schedule. We must not duplicate lines. Ensure we don't repeat same info. Now craft HTML. We'll start with
