We need to output HTML fragment with sections for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule only if content present. The posting includes "What You Will Do" (responsibilities), "What You Need" (requirements), "Education/Experience", "Desired Qualifications", "Work Location", "Where You Will Work" (benefits), "Additional Details" (some meta). No explicit Pay or Schedule. Benefits are described: "Our generous benefits package includes: ..." So we can create Benefits section with list.
We need headings: for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include those headings if content.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we must strip out the Equal Opportunity paragraph, the drug testing note, the directive, the note about citizenship restrictions? That is substantive? It's a restriction; maybe it's considered legal boilerplate? It's a note about citizenship restrictions due to federal restrictions. Might be considered legal/EEO? It's a restriction, but it's part of the posting. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is a restriction note, not EEO. Might be considered legal. Safer to keep? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So legal boilerplate includes the note about citizenship restrictions? Probably yes. Also the "Directive 206.2" etc is legal. Also "No Clearance" etc. Also "New-Employment Drug Test". Also "Internal Applicants". Also "Equal Opportunity". Also "Instructions on How to Activate/Create a LANL Jobs Account" and "How to Apply". Those are application instructions, must be removed.
Thus we keep only substantive: What You Will Do (responsibilities), What You Need (minimum job requirements), Education/Experience, Desired Qualifications, Work Location, Where You Will Work (benefits). Possibly also "Work Location" as a short paragraph.
We need to not repeat job title as heading. No job ID.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content.
"What You Will Do The Materials Synthesis and Integrated Devices Group (MPA-11) is seeking postdoctoral candidates to work on a range of fundamental and applied research projects in acidic and alkaline polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs, AEMFCs), PEM, AEM and liquid alkaline electrolysis, unitized reversible fuel cells (URFCs), CO2 reduction and flow batteries. Research opportunities include electrocatalysis (precious metals and non-precious metals), ion exchange membranes, catalyst layer architectures, component and cell durability, water management, porous transport layers, cell operation and testing including the effect of impurities, synthesis/characterization of novel materials including nanoscale catalysts, supports and polymer membranes, and non-aqueous flow battery materials and system development."
That's responsibilities.
"What You Need Minimum Job Requirements: Demonstrated strong background in one of the following areas: Electrochemistry Polymer/organic synthesis/characterization Nanostructured material synthesis/characterization Microfabrication and thin film deposition Electrocatalysis/electrocatalysts Electrode design, fabrication and characterization Electrochemical testing (fuel cell, water electrolyzer, CO2 electrolyzer, redox flow cell) Candidates must also have: Excellent publication record in the field of required expertise Very good command of spoken and written English; very good communication skills Ability to develop and implement new research ideas, and to design and perform advanced experiments Strong motivation and ability to work independently Ability to work effectively as a part of a team in a multi-disciplinary research environment and interact successfully with a variety of research & development, and commercial organizations"
That's requirements.
"Education/Experience: Ph.D. in chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field completed within the last five years, or soon to be completed, is required."
"Desired Qualifications: Experience in one or more of the following areas is desired: Experience in electrochemical characterization for electrodes and catalyst/electrolyte interfaces Experience in organic synthesis, polymer synthesis, polymer blending/composite, and ionomer dispersion preparation; Experience in the synthesis of nanostructured carbon-based materials, metal organic frameworks (MOFs), non-precious metal catalysts, or similar materials; Experience in the synthesis of metal nanoparticles, including alloys, core-shell, and intermetallics; Experience in electrochemical device testing including PEMFC, AEMFC, water electrolyzer, CO2 electrolyzer, and redox flow cell; Familiarity with SEM, TEM, BET, XRD, XPS, XRF, NMR, Raman, FTIR, X-ray absorption spectroscopy and other materials characterization techniques; Experience in mathematical modeling; Shape-controlled metal nanocrystals and metal oxides MOFs, COFs, and related materials Mesoporous silica and related nanostructured materials Soft templating methods based on surfactants and block copolymers Synthesis of nanostructured interfaces or similar structures Thin film deposition (ALD, CVD, sputtering, evaporation, etc.) Inverse opal fabrication Electrospinning Microfluidic devices Knowledge of electronics and of typical laboratory test instruments; Demonstrated ability to plan and organize assignments so that schedules are met on time."
That's desired qualifications (could be under Qualifications or Skills). We'll treat as Qualifications.
"Work Location: The work location for this position is onsite and located in Los Alamos, NM. All work locations are at the discretion of management."
That's location.
"Where You Will Work Located in beautiful northern New Mexico, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in strategic science on behalf of national security. Our generous benefits package includes: PPO or High Deductible medical insurance with the same large nationwide network Dental and vision insurance Free basic life and disability insurance Paid childbirth and parental leave Award-winning 401(k) (6% matching plus 3.5% annually) Learning opportunities and tuition assistance Flexible schedules and time off (PTO and holidays) Onsite gyms and wellness programs Extensive relocation packages (outside a 50 mile radius)"
That's benefits.
No explicit Pay or Schedule.
Thus we will create sections:

That's benefits.
No explicit Pay or Schedule.
Thus we will create sections:
About the role
maybe we can put a short paragraph describing the group and research? The "What You Will Do" is responsibilities. Could treat "About the role" as a brief overview: The Materials Synthesis and Integrated Devices Group (MPA-11) is seeking postdoctoral candidates to work on a range of fundamental and applied research projects... That's actually responsibilities. But we could put that under About the role, and Responsibilities as a list of specific research opportunities. However instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide what goes where. The posting has "What You Will Do" which is responsibilities. So we can map that to Responsibilities section. The "What You Need" maps to Requirements. Education/Experience and Desired Qualifications could be Qualifications and Skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Education/Experience and Desired Qualifications into Qualifications. Skills could be the specific technical skills listed under Desired Qualifications (like experience with SEM, TEM, etc). But we can also put all under Qualifications.
Simplify: Use sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits. Possibly also About the role as a brief intro: The Materials Synthesis and Integrated Devices Group (MPA-11) is seeking postdoctoral candidates to work on a range of fundamental and applied research projects... That's actually from What You Will Do. But we could put that as About the role (overview) and then Responsibilities as a list of specific research opportunities. However the posting does not separate overview vs list; it's all in one paragraph. To avoid duplication, we could put the overview in About the role and then list the specific research opportunities as Responsibilities. But we need to preserve all info; we can split.
Let's extract overview: "The Materials Synthesis and Integrated Devices Group (MPA-11) is seeking postdoctoral candidates to work on a range of fundamental and applied research projects in acidic and alkaline polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs, AEMFCs), PEM, AEM and liquid alkaline electrolysis, unitized reversible fuel cells (URFCs), CO2 reduction and flow batteries."
Then responsibilities list: "Research opportunities include electrocatalysis (precious metals and non-precious metals), ion exchange membranes, catalyst layer architectures, component and cell durability, water management, porous transport layers, cell operation and testing including the effect of impurities, synthesis/characterization of novel materials including nanoscale catalysts, supports and polymer membranes, and non-aqueous flow battery materials and system development."
That seems reasonable.
Now Requirements: list of areas and additional attributes.
Qualifications: Education/Experience + Desired Qualifications.
Skills: maybe we could extract specific technical skills from Desired Qualifications (like experience in electrochemical characterization, organic synthesis, etc.) but that overlaps with Qualifications. To avoid thin sections, we could omit Skills section and just have Qualifications. But instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits. That's four sections.
We need to include Work Location somewhere; could be part of About the role or Qualifications? It's not a requirement. Could be a short paragraph under About the role after overview. Or we could add a short paragraph under About the role: "Work location: onsite in Los Alamos, NM."
We'll include that as a
under About the role. Now Benefits: list as
- .
Now we must not include boilerplate like Equal Opportunity etc.
Let's craft HTML.
We'll start with
