We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So remove "Apply Please attach a cover letter and a curriculum vitae/resume. Finalist candidate(s) for this position will be subject to reference checks and a pre-employment background check as a condition of employment." Also remove "About Us" maybe? The "About Us" is not a required heading but could be considered boilerplate? It's about the institution; maybe we keep as part of description? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Us" is not explicitly prohibited, but it's not part of the job posting content? It's about the employer. Might be considered okay to keep? However they said "Preserve ALL substantive information". The About Us is substantive about employer. Could keep as a paragraph maybe under a generic section? But we only have defined headings; we could put it under "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is for role description. The About Us is about the institution; maybe we could include it in a paragraph under "About the role" or separate? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should only use those headings if we have content. We could put the About Us description under "About the role" as it's about the role context. Or we could omit if not needed. But we need to preserve substantive information; the About Us is substantive about employer, but not strictly about role. Might be okay to include in a paragraph under "About the role". Let's include a brief paragraph summarizing employer info.
Now we need sections:
- About the role: summary of role purpose, teaching, service, scholarship, etc.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (teaching, service, scholarship, etc.) as bullet list.
- Requirements: education, certification, experience.
- Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications (Master preferred, teaching experience preferred, etc.) Could combine with Requirements? But we need separate sections only if content.
- Skills: organizational, communication, independent work, technology, etc.
- Benefits: from About Us: competitive salaries, excellent benefits including medical/vision/dental contribution, generous time off, retirement/pension plans, flexible work arrangements.
- Pay: "Rank and salary will be commensurate with education and experience." That's vague; we should not include Pay section if content is just "commensurate with experience" which is placeholder? The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting says "Rank and salary will be commensurate with education and experience." That's essentially placeholder; we should not create Pay section.
- Schedule: not mentioned; no schedule info; do not create.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits.
Now we need to extract content and format.

We need to ensure not to duplicate.
Requirements: Required Bachelor’s degree is the minimum degree required; Master is preferred. ARDMS certification in OB/GYN and extended abdominal required, others preferred. Minimum of 5 years of work experience in radiology general sonography or OB/GYN. Minimum of 1 year of teaching experience at college/university level preferred but not essential. Commitment to undergraduate, graduate and/or professional education and student success. Excellent organizational and communication skills.

We could separate physical requirements under Requirements or maybe under Skills? But we can include in Requirements as bullet.
Qualifications: maybe we separate preferred qualifications: Master preferred, teaching experience preferred, etc. But we already have those in Requirements. Could combine. However we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we keep Requirements as mandatory, and Qualifications as preferred (Master preferred, teaching experience preferred, etc.) But we have overlapping.
