We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, contact info, working conditions, cognitive requirements, protective clothing, physical, sensory, working conditions & exposures, working environment, supplemental questions, documents needed to apply. Also remove posting date, closing date, first consideration date maybe? Those are metadata but not job description; they might be considered minor metadata and can be folded into a short p or dropped. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with posting details like location, department, etc. But we should not repeat job title as heading. We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. - About the role: Could be a brief description of the position: "The Grants Accountant position is a State of South Dakota funded, Career Service, Overtime Eligible position in the University of South Dakota’s Department of Grants Accounting. The role is responsible for assisting with post-award financial management and administration of externally-funded grants and contracts." That seems appropriate. - Responsibilities: The list of duties: oversight of post-award activity, post-award grant, fund, and budget coding, budget and expenditure monitoring, financial management of award reimbursements/revenue, processing tuition remission on grants, monitoring indirect revenue distribution, requesting federal line of credit reimbursements, assisting with data collection and preparation of financial reports. - Requirements: Could include eligibility: authorized to work in US, not eligible for sponsorship, maybe also mention career service, overtime eligible? But those are more about position type. Requirements could be knowledge/abilities: knowledge of federal and state laws, accounting principles, proficiency in MS Office, experience with Banner desirable, ability to maintain records, communicate, research, establish relationships, take initiative, self-directed, work independently, adapt processes, maintain positive attitude, attention to detail, interpersonal skills. Also baccalaureate degree preferred, combinations considered. - Qualifications: Could be education: baccalaureate degree preferred; combinations of experience and education considered. Also maybe mention career service? But that's more about position. - Skills: Could be proficiency in computer applications (Excel, Word, Outlook), Banner desirable, ability to maintain records, communication, research, etc. Might overlap with requirements. We need to decide distribution. - Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. No benefits info. So we should not include Benefits section. - Pay: Advertised Salary Commensurate to experiences, education, and abilities. That's vague; instruction says never create Pay section unless posting actually states them, and never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". So we should NOT include Pay section because it's just "commensurate". So drop. - Schedule: Work Hours 8-5, Monday – Friday; Appointment Percent 100; Duration 12 months; maybe schedule details. That's specific: Work Hours 8-5, Monday – Friday. So we can include Schedule section with that info. Also maybe mention typical hours per week? Not given. So schedule: 8-5 Monday-Friday, full-time (100%). Duration 12 months (maybe term). Could include. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule. We must not include Benefits or Pay. Now we need to output HTML fragment: use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  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 that are substantive. Let's extract substantive info: - Institution: University of South Dakota (maybe not needed as heading but could be in About the role paragraph). The instruction: do not repeat job title as heading; we can include institution in About the role. - Working Title: Grants Accountant (job title) - we should not repeat as heading, but can mention in paragraph. - Department: USD-Accounting Services (or Department of Grants Accounting? Actually posting says Department USD-Accounting Services, but role is in Department of Grants Accounting. Might be confusion. We'll include both: Department of Grants Accounting (as per role) and USD-Accounting Services (maybe department). We'll keep as described. - Physical Location: Vermillion. - Position type: State of South Dakota funded, Career Service, Overtime Eligible. - Responsibilities list: as above. - Knowledge/abilities list: as above. - Education: Baccalaureate degree preferred; combinations of experience and education considered. - Work authorization: Must be authorized to work in US; not eligible for sponsorship. - Schedule: Work Hours 8-5, Monday – Friday; Appointment Percent 100; Duration 12 months. We should not include posting dates etc. Now we need to decide how to split into sections. About the role: Could include a paragraph summarizing the role: "The Grants Accountant position is a State of South Dakota funded, Career Service, Overtime Eligible position in the University of South Dakota’s Department of Grants Accounting. The role is responsible for assisting with post-award financial management and administration of externally-funded grants and contracts." Also maybe include location and department. Responsibilities: bullet list of duties. Requirements: maybe include knowledge of laws, accounting principles, proficiency in MS Office, Banner desirable, ability to maintain records, communicate, research, establish relationships, take initiative, self-directed, work independently, adapt processes, maintain positive attitude, attention to detail, interpersonal skills, work authorization. Qualifications: education (baccalaureate preferred, combinations considered). Could also include career service? But that's more about position type. Skills: maybe proficiency in computer applications (Excel, Word, Outlook), Banner desirable, ability to maintain records, communication, research, etc. But that overlaps with requirements. Perhaps we can treat Requirements as knowledge/abilities, Skills as technical proficiencies, Qualifications as education/experience. Let's allocate: - Requirements: Knowledge of federal and state laws and rules as they relate to finance and grants management; Knowledge of, and demonstrated experience with, accounting principles and financial analysis. - Skills: Proficiency in computer applications with emphasis on Microsoft Excel, Word and Outlook; Experience with the Banner Financial System is desirable; Ability to maintain accurate records and files, both electronic and manual; Ability to effectively communicate information; Ability to research and interpret applicable rules, statutes and policies; Ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with a wide variety of individuals and entities. - Qualifications: A baccalaureate degree is preferred; however, combinations of experience and education will be considered. Eligible candidates must be authorized to work in the United States. This position is not eligible for sponsorship. But the work authorization could be in Requirements or Qualifications. We'll put in Qualifications. - Schedule: Work Hours 8-5, Monday – Friday; Appointment Percent 100; Duration of the Term 12 months. Now we need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder text. All sections have real content. Now produce HTML:
