We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse posting:
- Intro: "The Office of Institutional Research and Assessment (OIRA) seeks an Institutional Research Analyst who will be responsible for the analysis of institutional data to support a culture of data-informed decision-making on campus. This work will include designing and administering surveys and analyzing survey data; data analysis and management; reporting institutional data to external agencies; creating data visualizations; creating and analyzing student success metrics, enrollment management trends, academic data, and KPIs. This is a temporary full-time position that will start in mid-October 2026 and end in mid-December 2026."
- Then bullet-like sections: "Internal Data Analysis, Surveying, and Reporting (60%) Assist with the design and administration of University surveys; compile results, and interpret the data in written analysis. University Research Support and Consulting (20%) Provide support for survey design, implementation and interpretation as needed by academic programs and other University constituencies.

- Then "Required Bachelor's degree in a research-related field, such as statistics, mathematics, social science, behavioral science, information science.Knowledge of quantitative and qualitative research methodology, preferably in a higher education environment.Excellent oral and written communication skills and ability to interact with individuals at all levels, and ability to work as a team.Strong self-initiative and service orientation.Experience with large datasets and analytical tools (e.g., SPSS), along with demonstrated interest and applied experience in RStudio and SQL, is desirable.Demonstrated experience in survey design, development, administration, and reporting.

- Then "Preferred Master’s degree in a research-related field such as statistics, mathematics, social science, behavioral science, or information science.Proficiency with Qualtrics for survey distribution and data reporting. Working knowledge of data visualization tools, particularly Tableau Desktop and Tableau Prep."
- Then "Physical Requirements Work is mostly sedentary, and the majority of time is spent sitting.Must be able to talk, listen and speak clearly on telephone and in video meetings."
- Then "Apply Please attach a cover letter and a curriculum vitae/resume. Finalist candidate(s) for this position will be subject to reference checks and a pre-employment background check as a condition of employment. Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. MCPHS is unable to sponsor, or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa. MCPHS is also not an E-Verify institution."
- Then "About Us Established in 1823, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS) is the oldest institution of higher education in Boston, a city that is home to many of the world's top universities and healthcare institutions. We are one of the largest and most highly-ranked schools for health and life sciences, and our alumni and faculty continually distinguish themselves in healthcare settings around the globe. MCPHS has more than 7000 students across campuses in Boston's Longwood Medical and Academic Area (LMA), downtown Worcester, MA and downtown Manchester, NH.

MCPHS is an equal opportunity employer dedicated to ensuring equal opportunity for all members of the University community. We aim to recruit, develop, and retain the most skilled faculty and staff. All qualified applicants will be considered for employment."
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So remove "Apply Please attach a cover letter and a curriculum vitae/resume. Finalist candidate(s) for this position will be subject to reference checks and a pre-employment background check as a condition of employment. Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. MCPHS is unable to sponsor, or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa. MCPHS is also not an E-Verify institution." Also remove "About Us" maybe? The "About Us" is not a required heading but could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is about the institution, not the role. The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content accordingly.
- About the role: likely the introductory paragraph describing the role and its purpose, plus maybe the temporary full-time dates. So we can put that in
About the role
withcontaining that description. - Responsibilities: the bullet-like sections: internal, university support, external, additional responsibilities. We can list as
- each bullet.
- Requirements: Required Bachelor's degree etc. Also maybe "Physical Requirements" could be part of Requirements? But we have a separate heading for Requirements; we can include required education, knowledge, skills, experience, etc. Physical requirements maybe also under Requirements or separate? Since we don't have a heading for Physical Requirements, we could include under Requirements as a bullet.
- Qualifications: Preferred Master's degree etc. Could be under Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe list specific tools: SPSS, RStudio, SQL, Qualtrics, Tableau Desktop/Prep, MS Office Excel, etc. Could be under Skills.
- Benefits: The posting mentions "We offer competitive salaries and excellent benefits that include a substantial contribution toward the cost of medical, vision, and dental insurance, generous time off, retirement and pension plans, and flexible work arrangements". That's benefits info. So we can include Benefits section.
- Pay: Not specified; no salary figure. So we should NOT include Pay section because no specific content.
- Schedule: The posting says "This is a temporary full-time position that will start in mid-October 2026 and end in mid-December 2026." That's schedule info (duration). So we can include Schedule section with that info.
We must not include headings with filler like "not specified". So we omit Pay.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Already removed.
Now produce HTML fragment.

Make sure to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract details. About the role paragraph: "The Office of Institutional Research and Assessment (OIRA) seeks an Institutional Research Analyst who will be responsible for the analysis of institutional data to support a culture of data-informed decision-making on campus. This work will include designing and administering surveys and analyzing survey data; data analysis and management; reporting institutional data to external agencies; creating data visualizations; creating and analyzing student success metrics, enrollment management trends, academic data, and KPIs. This is a temporary full-time position that will start in mid-October 2026 and end in mid-December 2026." But note schedule info also appears here; we might move schedule to separate section. However we can keep the dates in About the role? The instruction says schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state start and end dates. So we could put schedule separately, but we might also keep the description without dates in About the role, and schedule separate. Let's split: About the role description without the dates; Schedule section with dates. Thus About the role: "The Office of Institutional Research and Assessment (OIRA) seeks an Institutional Research Analyst who will be responsible for the analysis of institutional data to support a culture of data-informed decision-making on campus. This work will include designing and administering surveys and analyzing survey data; data analysis and management; reporting institutional data to external agencies; creating data visualizations; creating and analyzing student success metrics, enrollment management trends, academic data, and KPIs." Now Responsibilities: we have three categories with percentages and details. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's break into bullet points: - Internal Data Analysis, Surveying, and Reporting (60%): * Assist with the design and administration of University surveys; compile results, and interpret the data in written analysis. - University Research Support and Consulting (20%): * Provide support for survey design, implementation and interpretation as needed by academic programs and other University constituencies. * Analyze data sets, verify data to ensure data integrity, and prepare reports and analyses in support of other key institutional activities and strategic plan goals. * Compile data and put in a useable format in support of departmental and program reviews, assessment, strategic planning, grant proposals, and annual reports. - External Data Analysis, Consulting, and Reporting (20%): * Plan, prepare, and produce a variety of regular and ad-hoc queries, reports, and presentations to meet external reporting requirements, such as IPEDS, accrediting agencies, state reporting, etc.; and internal informational needs. * Work with colleagues throughout the University to determine information needs and identify data to respond to those needs. * Conduct statistical analyses to support institutional planning, analysis and process improvement. * Additional responsibilities as assigned by supervisor. We could combine into bullet list items each representing a responsibility. Could also keep percentages inside bullet. Now Requirements: Required Bachelor's degree in a research-related field, such as statistics, mathematics, social science, behavioral science, information science. Knowledge of quantitative and qualitative research methodology, preferably in a higher education environment. Excellent oral and written communication skills and ability to interact with individuals at all levels, and ability to work as a team. Strong self-initiative and service orientation. Experience with large datasets and analytical tools (e.g., SPSS), along with demonstrated interest and applied experience in RStudio and SQL, is desirable. Demonstrated experience in survey design, development, administration, and reporting. Strong MS Office Skills, in particular with Excel. Physical Requirements: Work is mostly sedentary, and the majority of time is spent sitting. Must be able to talk, listen and speak clearly on telephone and in video meetings. We could split physical requirements into its own bullet. Now Qualifications: Preferred Master’s degree in a research-related field such as statistics, mathematics, social science, behavioral science, or information science. Proficiency with Qualtrics for survey distribution and data reporting. Working knowledge of data visualization tools, particularly Tableau Desktop and Tableau Prep. Now Skills: Could list specific tools: SPSS, RStudio, SQL, Qualtrics, Tableau Desktop, Tableau Prep, MS
