for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only if posting has real specific content. We have:
- About The University Of Illinois Chicago (description of employer). Could be "About the role"? Not exactly. But we could treat as "About the role" maybe not appropriate. However we have a description of the university; we could put under a heading like "About the University" but not in list. The instruction says use those example headings but not limited? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect those headings if content exists. We have content for Responsibilities (Duties & Responsibilities). We have Requirements/Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications Required). We have Benefits (list of benefits). We have Pay (Salary Range). We have Schedule (Work Schedule). We have Location maybe not needed as heading. We have Hiring Department etc maybe metadata to drop.
We should not repeat job title as heading (not given). We should not include Job ID etc. We should drop boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, AI tools, etc. Also drop "To Apply:" instructions, posting close date maybe? Not needed as heading; could be minor metadata in a short
or drop. 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
with location, maybe schedule etc? But schedule we will have its own section. Location maybe minor metadata; we could include in a
at top. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the description of UIC, duties, qualifications, benefits, salary range, schedule. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. The salary range is given: "$60,000.00 - 85,000.00 / Annual Salary". That's specific; we can include Pay section. Benefits: "Health, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, a Retirement Plan, Paid time Off, and Tuition waivers for employees and dependents." That's specific. Schedule: "Monday - Friday, 8:30AM - 5:00PM". That's specific. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Thus something like:

We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, AI tools, etc. Also we removed "To Apply:" etc. Also we removed "Illinois Residency is required within 180 days of employment." That is substantive? It's a requirement; maybe we should include under Requirements? It's a condition. Could be added as a qualification. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information. So we should include that. It's not a minor metadata; it's a requirement. Could add to Minimum Qualifications section as an extra sentence. Also "This position is intended to be eligible for benefits." Already covered in benefits. We also have "FTE: 1" maybe minor metadata; could drop. We have "Workplace Type: Hybrid" maybe we could include under Schedule? Not exactly. Could add a note under Schedule or a separate section? The instruction: only include sections when posting has real specific content. Hybrid work type is specific; but we don't have a heading for Workplace Type. Could we add a section like "Workplace"? Not in the examples but we could still usefor any section heading; they gave examples but not exclusive. Safer to include as a short
maybe under Schedule or as its own
Workplace. However they said use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). That list includes those examples but not exclusive; we could still add other headings if needed. But to be safe, we could fold Hybrid into Schedule paragraph: "Schedule: Monday - Friday, 8:30AM - 5:00PM (Hybrid)". Or add a separate
after Schedule. Also "Posting Close Date: September 21, 2026" is metadata; could drop or fold into a short
. Probably drop as not substantive for job. We need to preserve all substantive information: the description of UIC, duties, qualifications, benefits, salary, schedule, hybrid work type, Illinois residency requirement. Let's incorporate: - Add Illinois residency requirement under Minimum Qualifications or as a separate note. - Add Hybrid work type under Schedule. Thus final HTML:

We should not include any extra blank lines? It's fine. Check that we didn't include any boilerplate: we omitted "To Apply:", "Illinois Residency is required within 180 days of employment." we included. We omitted "This position is intended to be eligible for benefits." (covered). We omitted "Under administrative direction, employees allocated to this classification perform activities related to the complete lifecycle of sponsored program administration." That's part of duties? Actually it's a general statement before duties; we could incorporate into Responsibilities intro maybe as a paragraph before list. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information. That sentence is substantive; we should include it. Could add as abefore the
- under Responsibilities.
Similarly "Under administrative direction, employees allocated to this classification perform activities related to the complete lifecycle of sponsored program administration." Let's add that as a
before the list. Also there is a sentence: "Typical activities include the identification of funding sources, proposal drafting and submission, contract negotiation, sub-award issuance, pre-award and post-award administration (both financial and nonfinancial) of grants, awards and contracts that provide support for research, curriculum development, outreach, and/or service work." That's also substantive; we could incorporate into responsibilities as well. Actually the duties list already covers many of those; but we should keep it. Could add as a
before the list as well. Thus Responsibilities section:
Under administrative direction, employees allocated to this classification perform activities related to the complete lifecycle of sponsored program administration. Typical activities include the identification of funding sources, proposal drafting and submission, contract negotiation, sub-award issuance, pre-award and post-award administration (both financial and nonfinancial) of grants, awards and contracts that provide support for research, curriculum development, outreach, and/or service work.
then- with the detailed duties.
We need to ensure we didn't duplicate content; but it's okay to have both.
Now check for any other substantive info: "Hiring Department: Administration" maybe minor; could drop. "Location: Chicago, IL USA" we included as a short p.
"FTE: 1" minor; drop.
"Work Schedule: Monday - Friday, 8:30AM - 5:00PM" we used.
"Shift: Days" maybe minor; could drop.
"# of Positions: 1" minor.
"Workplace Type: Hybrid" we included in schedule.
"Posting Close Date: September 21, 2026" drop.
