Field Research Assistant
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include sections like About the role (maybe summarizing the position summary). Responsibilities (list duties). Requirements (minimum qualifications). Qualifications (preferred). Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities). Benefits (if any). Pay (if any). Schedule (if any).
We need to include only sections with real specific content.
Let's extract:
Position Summary: "The position will assist with the preparation of nurseries and maintain the upkeep in greenhouses to include planting, recording data accurately, harvesting, crossing, and irrigation in a timely and efficient manner that support the Small Grains Breeding and Genetics research program. This position will also assist in laboratory activities as needed."
That's about the role.
Duties/Responsibilities: list with percentages:
- Seed Prep Process seeds of harvested samples. Prepare seeds for planting. 30%
- Greenhouse Activities Assist with planting, making crosses, and harvesting. Maintenance of greenhouses. 30%
- Field Work Assist with planting, recording data accurately, and maintaining & harvesting nurseries. 30%
- Laboratory Assist with preparation of lab work for wheat breeding and plant breeding research. 10%
We can output as - each duty, maybe include percentage.
Minimum Qualifications: "High school diploma or equivalent"
Preferred Summary: "Preferred Qualifications" maybe blank? Actually there is "Preferred Summary Preferred Qualifications". It seems there is a heading but no content? It says "Preferred Summary Preferred Qualifications". Likely missing content. We should not create a section if no real content. So we may skip Qualifications if no specific preferred qualifications listed.
Knowledge, Skills, Abilities And/or Competencies: "Experienced in recording data, seed processing, greenhouse maintenance, and nursery preparation. Team Player"
That's skills.
Physical Demands etc: maybe not needed.
Benefits: The posting mentions "Employment Type Employee Benefits Eligibility Non-Benefits Eligible". So benefits: Non-Benefits Eligible (i.e., not eligible for benefits). That's a statement about benefits eligibility. Should we include Benefits section? It says "Non-Benefits Eligible". That's specific content: indicates not eligible for benefits. According to rules, we should include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. It does state "Non-Benefits Eligible". So we can include a Benefits section with that statement.
Pay: "Advertised Salary Commensurate with Experience". That's not specific; it's placeholder. According to rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So we should NOT include Pay section because it's just placeholder.
Schedule: "Work Schedule Additional Schedule Information Monday-Friday; work hours no more than 19.6 per week." That's specific schedule. So include Schedule section.
Also we have location: "Location of Vacancy Griffin Area". Could be part of About the role? Might be included as a paragraph.
We also have "FTE 0.49" (part-time). Could be part of schedule.
We need to avoid boilerplate: remove EEO, USG Core Values, etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information: include details about department, etc? The posting details includes "Department CAES-Crop & Soil Sciences". That's substantive. Should we include that? Possibly in About the role or a separate section? There's no specific heading for Department, but we can include it in About the role paragraph.
We also have "Classification Title Agricultural Technician I FLSA Non-Exempt". That's substantive. Could be included in About the role or Requirements? Might be part of Requirements? It's classification. Might be considered as part of Requirements? Not exactly. But we can include in About the role.
We also have "Proposed Starting Date 10/05/2026". That's substantive. Could be in About the role or maybe a separate section? Not in list of headings. Could be included in About the role.
We also have "Posting Date 09/17/2026 Open until filled Yes Closing Date". That's metadata; we can drop as per instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we could include a short paragraph with posting date etc, but maybe drop it as minor metadata. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short
for posting date etc if we want, but not required. Probably better to drop it to keep concise.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
Thus structure:
About the role
... (position summary, department, classification, location, proposed start date, FTE etc)
Responsibilities
- Seed Prep: Process seeds of harvested samples; prepare seeds for planting (30% of time).
- Greenhouse Activities: Assist with planting, making crosses, and harvesting; maintenance of greenhouses (30% of time).
- Field Work: Assist with planting, recording data accurately, and maintaining & harvesting nurseries (30% of time).
- Laboratory: Assist with preparation of lab work for wheat breeding and plant breeding research (10% of time).
Requirements
High school diploma or equivalent.
Skills
Experienced in recording data, seed processing, greenhouse maintenance, and nursery preparation; team player.
Benefits
Non‑benefits eligible (not eligible for employee benefits).
Schedule
Monday‑Friday; work hours no more than 19.6 per week (FTE 0.49).
We might also include "Classification Title Agricultural Technician I FLSA Non-Exempt" in About the role.
Let's craft About the role paragraph:
"The position assists with nursery preparation, greenhouse upkeep, planting, data recording, harvesting, crossing, irrigation, and laboratory activities for the Small Grains Breeding and Genetics research program. Department: CAES‑Crop & Soil Sciences. Classification: Agricultural Technician I (FLSA Non‑Exempt). Location: Griffin Area. FTE: 0.49 (part‑time). Proposed start date: October 5, 2026."
That captures substantive info.
We should not include "About the University of Georgia" boilerplate; but we could keep a brief mention? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The University description is not boilerplate? It's generic about the university; might be considered boilerplate? It's not required to preserve; but it's substantive about the employer. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The university description is substantive but maybe considered boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal/EEO etc. It's about the university. Might be considered okay to keep. But we have limited sections; we could include it in About the role as a brief sentence. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can incorporate that info into About the role.
Thus About the role paragraph could include: "The University of Georgia, chartered in 1785, is the state’s flagship university and ranked among the top 20 public universities...". That's a lot of detail; maybe we keep it.
But we need to avoid too much fluff? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the university description as is. However that is quite long; but we can include it.
Thus About the role paragraph will include the university description, department, classification, location, FTE, proposed start date.
Let's extract university description exactly:
"Chartered by the state of Georgia in 1785, the University of Georgia is the birthplace of public higher education in America and is the state’s flagship university (https://www.uga.edu/). The proof is in our more than 240 years of academic and professional achievements and our continual commitment to higher education. UGA is currently ranked among the top 20 public universities in U.S. News & World Report. The University’s main campus is located in Athens, approximately 65 miles northeast of Atlanta, with extended campuses in Atlanta, Griffin, Gwinnett, and Tifton. UGA employs approximately 3,100 faculty and more than 7,700 full-time staff. The University’s enrollment exceeds 41,000 students including over 31,000 undergraduates and over 10,000 graduate and professional students. Academic programs reside in 19 schools and colleges, including our newly established School of Medicine."
That's a lot; we can include it.
Now About the role paragraph will be long but okay.
Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO, USG Core Values, etc.
We also need to include "Special Instructions to Applicants" maybe? That's likely boilerplate; we can drop.
Now produce HTML.
Check for any other substantive content: "Position Information Classification Title Agricultural Technician I FLSA Non-Exempt FTE 0.49". Already captured.
"Minimum Qualifications High school diploma or equivalent" captured.
"Preferred Summary Preferred Qualifications" no content.
"Knowledge, Skills, Abilities And/or Competencies Experienced in recording data, seed processing, greenhouse maintenance, and nursery preparation.Team Player" captured.
"Physical Demands Work in the field under varied climate conditions.Travel to UGA Research Centers across the state of Georgia during planting and harvesting season.Work under heat conditions in the summer.Lift up to 30 pounds." That's also substantive; maybe we should include under Responsibilities or a separate section like "Physical Demands". But we only have allowed headings list; we could include under Responsibilities as additional bullet? Or we could add a section "Requirements" for physical demands? But the instruction says use those headings for section headings; we can add other headings if needed? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exclusive list. But we should prefer few substantive sections. Physical demands could be part of Responsibilities or Requirements. I'd add a bullet under Responsibilities: "Physical demands: work in varied climate conditions, travel to research centers, work under heat, lift up to 30 pounds." That seems appropriate.
Also "Is driving a responsibility of this position? No" etc are not substantive; we can drop.
Now ensure we don't include any placeholder like "Commencement with Experience" for Pay; we omitted Pay.
Now check for any benefits specifics: "Employment Type Employee Benefits Eligibility Non-Benefits Eligible". That's it.
Now schedule: "Work Schedule Additional Schedule Information Monday-Friday;
or drop it. So we could include a short paragraph with posting date etc, but maybe drop it as minor metadata. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
