Human ResourcesFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented or summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Click here to learn more..." maybe considered boilerplate? It's a link but maybe considered promotional; but it's part of description about AgriLife. Might be considered not essential? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Click here to learn more..." is not those categories; it's a promotional link. Might keep? It's not essential but not prohibited. However we need to preserve all substantive information; that line is not substantive? It's a call to action. Might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. Safer to keep it? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. That line is not those. So we can keep it.
We need sections: About the role (maybe from "Position Information" and description). Responsibilities (the bullet list). Requirements (Required Education And Experience). Qualifications maybe combine Preferred Education etc? But we have sections: Required Special Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (skills). Preferred Education, Preferred Experience, Preferred Licenses And Certifications, Preferred Special Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. Could group into Qualifications and Skills. Benefits: there is a "Why Work at Texas A&M AgriLife?" with benefit package details. Pay: Salary: Compensation for this position is commensurate based on the selected candidate’s qualifications. That's vague "commensurate". According to rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting states "Salary: Compensation for this position is commensurate based on the selected candidate’s qualifications." That's essentially "commensurate". That is filler/placeholder? It says commensurate based on qualifications, which is vague. The rule says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", ...). So we should NOT create a Pay section because it's just commensurate. So omit Pay.
Schedule: Flexible Work Arrangements: Flexible work schedules and remote work options may be available... That's schedule info. It's specific enough? It says flexible work schedules and remote work options may be available depending on nature of role and employee eligibility. That's not a specific schedule but indicates flexibility. It's not filler like "varies". Might be acceptable to include Schedule section. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state flexible work schedules and remote work options may be available. So we can include Schedule.
Benefits: The posting includes a benefit package description. So include Benefits.
Now we need to format.
