We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About Integrative Sciences" and "Position Summary". We need to use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we should only include sections when posting has real specific content.
We have content: About Integrative Sciences (description). Position Summary (description). Key Responsibilities (list). Qualifications (Required and Preferred). Compensation Overview (Pay). Benefits (description). Travel and location info (maybe Schedule? Not exactly schedule). There's no explicit schedule but travel 30% and location. Could treat as Schedule? Not exactly. The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to these headings if appropriate. We have: - About Integrative Sciences -> could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic; we have "About Integrative Sciences" which is about the group. Could use "About the role" heading and put that content. - Position Summary could be part of About the role as well. Might combine. - Key Responsibilities -> Responsibilities heading. - Qualifications -> Qualifications heading (maybe split Required and Preferred but we can keep as list). - Skills? Not explicitly separate; qualifications include skills. Could omit Skills if no specific. - Benefits -> Benefits heading. - Pay -> Compensation Overview heading. - Schedule? Not given; we have travel 30% and location; maybe we could put under Schedule? But schedule usually refers to work schedule (full-time, part-time, shift). Not present. So we should not create Schedule section if no real content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Also not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can drop them. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Remove lines like "We hire for skills and capabilities..." maybe keep? That's part of qualifications? It's a statement encouraging apply; could be considered boilerplate but it's part of posting. Might keep as part of Qualifications? It's not a requirement. Safer to omit? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The statement "We hire for skills and capabilities..." is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered generic encouraging. Might keep? It's not a requirement. I'd keep it under Qualifications as a note. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like travel 30%, location San Diego or Cambridge, remote considered case-by-case. That could go under maybe "Schedule"? Not schedule. Could create a "Work Location & Travel" section but not in allowed headings. Since we must use only those headings, we might need to fit location/travel under "Schedule"? Not ideal but maybe we can treat as Schedule (work arrangement). However instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Schedule is not stated; they didn't give schedule like full-time, part-time, shift. So we should not create Schedule section. Then where to put location/travel? Could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities as prose. That's allowed: we can include location/travel details in a paragraph under About the role or Responsibilities. The instruction: Use
for prose. So we can add a paragraph after About the role heading containing location and travel. Thus sections:
About the role
Integrative Sciences is the external innovation engine of BMS Research... (the About Integrative Sciences paragraph) plus Position Summary paragraph plus location/travel details.
Responsibilities
- ... list items from Key Responsibilities (multiple bullet points). Need to preserve all bullet points. The Key Responsibilities section has several paragraphs each starting with a bold heading? Actually they are headings: "Strategy and Opportunity Triage", "Collaboration Design and Execution", "Governance, Representation, and Communication", "Leadership". Under each there are sentences. We need to convert each duty into
- . Could break each sentence into separate li? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should treat each duty as a list item. We can group sentences under each heading as separate li or combine? Better to make each distinct duty as li. We'll parse.
Strategy and Opportunity Triage:
- Communicate internal Neuroscience Research pipeline priorities to the Integrative Sciences group, and align external search, evaluation, and triage activities with BMS Research principles and the Enterprise Neuroscience Therapeutic Area strategy.
- Lead the Neuroscience triage process within Integrative Sciences, ensuring disciplined, criteria-driven evaluation of external opportunities.
- Identify, evaluate, and bring forward neuroscience opportunities — academic collaborations, biotech partnerships, platform technologies, and pre-IND or IND-stage assets — that add to or complement the internal pipeline.
- Form and lead cross-functional diligence teams for the evaluation of Integrative Sciences collaboration opportunities, and provide expert scientific opinion during Business Development reviews and due diligence.
- Partner with Search & Evaluation and Business Development transaction leads to advance prioritized opportunities on disciplined, accelerated timelines.
- Work with Research Finance to ensure activities are aligned, captured, and approved within Research budgets.
Collaboration Design and Execution:
- Contribute to the design and execution of a blended external innovation strategy spanning corporate and academic collaborations.
- Shape opportunities into practical collaboration plans with clear scientific objectives, work plans, milestones, governance structures, decision points, and success measures.
- Advise on collaboration structures and contract development as the scientific lead, working closely with Business Development, transaction leads, Legal, and IP.
Governance, Representation, and Communication:
- Serve on joint governance committees and oversight bodies established to coordinate agreed research plans with academic and industry partners, ensuring collaborations remain scientifically focused and operationally accountable.
- Represent Integrative Sciences, as appropriate, to other BMS organizations, regulatory agencies, investors, partners, and the broader scientific community.
- Communicate regularly to internal client and partner groups — and their leadership — on external research activities and progress.
- Compose progress reports and decision documentation for senior management, and deliver presentations and briefings on the scientific and organizational activities within the area of responsibility.
Leadership:
- Model scientific leadership, collaborative behavior, and an enterprise mindset across Research and Integrative Sciences, consistent with BMS values.
That's all.
Qualifications
We have Required and Preferred. We'll make a list combining both? Could separate but still list. We'll create- for each qualification item.
Required:
- PhD or equivalent advanced scientific training in neuroscience, CNS biology, or a related discipline relevant to nervous system diseases.
- 10+ years of drug discovery and/or early development experience in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry, with deep, hands-on expertise in neuroscience research.

We'll include that as li.
Benefits
We have Benefits paragraph. We'll turn into- items for each benefit mentioned.
Benefits paragraph: "Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plans then in effect, you may be eligible to participate in our comprehensive benefit plans – including wellbeing support, retirement and financial protection benefits, and insurance offerings (medical, dental, vision, life and disability).

Pay
We have Compensation Overview: "$263,500 - $319,300 The starting pay range(s) listed above is for full-time employees (FTE). You may also be eligible for additional discretionary incentive cash and stock opportunities.

Final compensation is guided by pay equity principles and applicable employment laws. Compensation programs are reviewed on an ongoing basis and may be adjusted over time to reflect evolving market factors, and individual, team or Company performance." We'll make li items? Could be prose. But instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Pay is not a list; we can use
. However we could also make list of details. Safer to use
for prose. Thus:
Pay
$263,500 - $319,300 ...
We must not include schedule section. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft. Check for any duplicated lines: we should not repeat. We need to ensure we preserve all
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Pay is not a list; we can use
- items for each benefit mentioned.
