The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove EEO statements, equal opportunity, diversity statements, etc. Also remove application instructions? It says remove application instructions. That includes "Applications will be accepted until the position is filled and should include a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, and contact information for three individuals who could provide a reference. Interested applicants, please send CV and Cover Letter to Savannah Stauffer at sstauffer@pennstatehealth.psu.edu." That's application instruction; we should remove it. However we might keep recruiter contact as minor metadata? The instruction says we can fold minor metadata into a short p or drop it. The recruiter contact is maybe minor metadata; we can include a short p with contact email. But the application instruction to send CV etc is to be removed. So we can keep a short p: "Contact: Savannah Stauffer at sstauffer@pennstatehealth.psu.edu". That's minor metadata. We also need to remove duplicated lines. Now decide sections. We have: - About the role: could include description of position, location, work type, etc. - Responsibilities: list of duties: oversight of HLA typing, antibody testing, crossmatching, transplant-related consultative services, quality assurance, regulatory compliance, multidisciplinary collaboration, resident and fellow education, collaborative clinical or translational research; also general clinical pathology service coverage for MD/DO candidates; provide medical and scientific leadership; practice at Hershey Medical Center. - Requirements: board certification or eligibility in Anatomic Pathology and Clinical Pathology, Clinical Pathology, or another appropriate specialty preferred; candidates may be MD, DO or PhD and must be qualified or eligible to serve as director of a clinical histocompatibility laboratory and must meet applicable regulatory, accreditation, and institutional requirements; eligibility for medical licensure in PA required for physician candidates; fellowship training, board certification, or substantial experience in histocompatibility, immunogenetics, transplant immunology, HLA testing, molecular diagnostics, or clinical laboratory medicine are of primary interest. - Qualifications: maybe overlapping with requirements; but we can combine. The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including qualifications), Benefits, Pay?, Schedule?. Pay: The posting mentions "A competitive compensation plan, including a base salary, a generous incentive plan, and an excellent benefits package, are offered." No specific numbers. It says "competitive compensation plan" but not specific pay. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state benefits package (excellent benefits package) and mentions competitive compensation plan, base salary, incentive plan. So we can include Benefits section (since benefits are mentioned). Pay section: they mention base salary and incentive plan but not specific numbers; is that enough to create Pay section? The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state "competitive compensation plan, including a base salary, a generous incentive plan". That is stating pay components, albeit not numbers. So we could include Pay section with that description. However we also have Benefits section separately. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might combine Pay and Benefits into one "Compensation and Benefits" but headings are fixed list; we cannot create custom headings. We must use only those headings. So we could have Benefits section (since benefits are explicitly mentioned) and maybe Pay section (since base salary and incentive plan mentioned). However the benefits package is described later in detail under WHY PENN STATE HEALTH? That includes medical, dental, vision, wellness programs, PTO, parental leave, retirement, etc. So we definitely have benefits content. Schedule: The posting mentions Shift: Varied, Hours: Varied, Shift Differential: Exempt: Yes. So we have schedule info: varied shift, varied hours, shift differential eligibility. So we can create Schedule section. Thus we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not include headings with empty/filler content. Ensure each has substantive content. Now we need to strip out boilerplate: EEO statements, diversity statements, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove "WHY PENN STATE HEALTH?" and "WHY PENN STATE HEALTH MILTON HERSHEY MEDICAL CENTER?" sections? Those contain benefits and culture info; we can extract benefits content from them but remove the headings themselves as they are not part of our allowed headings. We'll rephrase benefits content into
- under Benefits section.
We also need to remove duplicated lines, like repeated EEO statements.
Now craft HTML.
Start with maybe a short p for contact metadata:
Contact: Savannah Stauffer at sstauffer@pennstatehealth.psu.edu
Then sections. About the role: include location, work type, position description.
