Also welcome applicants with demonstrated ability to connect their research with public health practice, research translation, and/or science communication. - Application Process: cover letter, CV, research statement, teaching and mentoring statement via AJO link. Review begins Sep 1, 2026, continues through Oct 15, 2026. EEO boilerplate etc to be removed. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, VEVRAA, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines. Also remove metadata like Category, Tracking Code, Posted Date, etc. Also remove "Minimum Salary $145,000.00 Maximum Salary $230,000.00" maybe we incorporate into Pay section. We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe a paragraph summarizing the position), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe education?), Skills (maybe specific skills?), Benefits (maybe resources, mentorship, development opportunities), Pay (salary range), Schedule (maybe full-time? The posting says Position Type Full-Time/Regular). So we can include Schedule section with "Full-Time/Regular". However we should only include Schedule if posting actually states it. It does: Position Type Full-Time/Regular. So we can include Schedule. Benefits: The posting mentions access to world-class laboratory and clinical resources, computing facilities, faculty expertise, opportunity to collaborate with university-wide centers, mentorship and development opportunities. Those could be considered benefits. Also maybe mention MPH certificates etc? Those are programs but not direct benefits to faculty. We'll treat resources and mentorship as benefits. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specific salary ranges. We need to not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add a heading for job title. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting, but we can combine similar info. We must not create sections with placeholder text. So only include sections where we have real content. Let's plan sections: - About the role: a paragraph describing the position, focus, start date, ranks, mission, department description, research areas, collaborative nature, etc. - Responsibilities: list of duties: lead independent research program; actively engage in collaborative research; teach and mentor master’s and doctoral-level students; provide stage-appropriate service to department, university, profession. Also maybe "pursue solutions-oriented work in partnership with transdisciplinary stakeholders, decision-makers, and communities, with explicit consideration of environmental and social justice." That could be responsibility. - Requirements: maybe education requirement: PhD, DrPH, or equivalent degree in environmental health or related field. Also active external funding to support program of research and scholarship at BUSPH. Also commitment to excellence and innovation in teaching, education, mentorship. - Qualifications: maybe similar to requirements? Could separate: qualifications could be "active external funding", "PhD", etc. But we need to avoid duplication. The posting lumps them as "Position Qualifications". We could treat that as Qualifications section. Requirements could be maybe "lead independent research program; teach and mentor; service". But those are responsibilities. Hmm. Better to follow typical categories: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (specific skills/expertise), Benefits (resources, mentorship), Pay (salary), Schedule (full-time). We need to map content: Overview: The department invites applications for faculty positions, start dates Spring/Summer 2027, primarily Assistant Professor but also higher ranks, seeking versatile collaborative faculty to understand and improve population health by addressing environmental health challenges and redressing inequities, working at any scale from molecular to population and any scope from local to global. Prioritizing candidates with active external funding. Department description etc. Responsibilities: lead independent research program; actively engage in collaborative research; teach and mentor master’s and doctoral-level students; provide stage-appropriate service to department, university, profession; pursue solutions-oriented work in partnership with transdisciplinary stakeholders, decision-makers, and communities, with explicit consideration of environmental and social justice. Requirements: PhD, DrPH, or equivalent degree in environmental health or related field; active external funding to support research and scholarship at BUSPH; commitment to excellence and innovation in teaching, education, mentorship. Qualifications: maybe "experience in collaborative research on environmental health challenges listed (metals, PFAS, air pollutants, complex mixtures, extreme weather, energy systems and sustainability, water and sanitation, military environmental health, emerging diseases of global significance); experience working with transdisciplinary stakeholders, decision-makers, communities; experience with environmental and social justice considerations; experience teaching MPH certificates or PhD program; experience with public health practice, research translation, science communication." But these are more like preferred qualifications. However we need to not invent; we can list what is stated: "We are particularly interested in collaborative applicants working on the environmental health challenges listed above." "We welcome applicants from diverse disciplines, including but not limited to exposure science, epidemiology, toxicology, risk/health impact assessment, and data science." "We also welcome applicants with a demonstrated ability to connect their research with public health practice, research translation, and/or science communication." Those are qualifications/preferred. Skills: maybe "expertise in exposure science, epidemiology, toxicology, risk/health impact assessment, data science; ability to connect research with public health practice, research translation, science communication; collaborative and interdisciplinary work; mentorship." Benefits: access to BU’s world-class laboratory and clinical resources, computing facilities, faculty expertise; opportunity to collaborate with university-wide centers (Institute for Global Sustainability, Initiative on Cities, Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational Science and Engineering, Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases); mentorship and development opportunities; MPH certificates and PhD program (maybe as benefit to teach). Also mention Center for Climate and Health hosted by Environmental Health faculty. Pay: Assistant Professor: $145,000 – $165,000 / year; Associate / Full Professor: $165,000 – $230,000 / year. Final salary determination based on academic record, research background, years of qualifying experience. Schedule: Position Type Full-Time/Regular. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, VEVRAA, etc. We need to ensure we don't include placeholder text like "not specified". All content we include is specific. Now produce HTML fragment.
