Instructor of Photography

We need to output HTML fragment only, with sections for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into short

  or drop it. Preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit 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 posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Title: Instructor of Photography (but we don't repeat as heading) - Location: Springfield, MO - Posted: September 18, 2026 - Application Deadline: November 02, 2026 - Contact: Jimmie Allen, email, phone, address, website. - Position: Instructor, 9-month appointment (academic year), Non-Tenure Track, Department of Art and Design. - Starting date: August 1, 2027. - Position Description: Teach 4-5 courses per semester (21-24 contact hours) in Photography area and General Education, academic advising, and service responsibilities. Assistance with oversight of the Brick City analog photography darkrooms and laboratories. - General Function: The Instructor NT is a non-tenure track position with responsibilities to teach full-time and to provide appropriate service. The Instructor NT may participate in research or creative activities. - About The Department And Our Program: description of department, faculty, majors, MFA, Master of Art Education, Brick City complex, galleries, Visiting Artists series. - Required Qualifications: 60-hour MFA in Photography or equivalent terminal degree. Ability to teach all levels of Photography—both digital and analog processes—and other classes dependent on experience and departmental need. Successful candidates will demonstrate potential for excellence in teaching, commitment to undergraduate education, and possess communication and interpersonal skills sufficient to work effectively with students and colleagues and foster a welcoming and inclusive classroom environment. - Special Instructions to Applicants: application link, upload cover letter, CV, unofficial transcript, portfolio (12-20 pieces), portfolio of student work if available, first date of consideration Nov 2 2026, review continues until filled, criminal background check, EEO statement. We need to remove application instructions (like "Please Upload A cover letter..." etc.) and EEO boilerplate. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, etc. We need to keep substantive info: location, posted date, deadline, contact info maybe as a short paragraph. Position description, responsibilities, qualifications, department description. We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" (position description), "Responsibilities" (teaching load, oversight, advising, service), "Requirements" or "Qualifications" (MFA, ability to teach, etc.), maybe "Department and Program" could be under "About the department". But we need to use headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include based on content. We have content for About the role (position description). Responsibilities (teaching, advising, service, oversight). Requirements/Qualifications (MFA, ability to teach, teaching potential, communication skills). Skills maybe not explicitly listed; we could combine with qualifications. Benefits, Pay, Schedule not stated (no salary, benefits, schedule details). So we should NOT create those sections. We should not include "Skills" if no specific skills listed beyond qualifications. Could maybe include under Qualifications. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like teaching load 4-5 courses per semester (21-24 contact hours), academic advising, service responsibilities, assistance with oversight of Brick City analog photography darkrooms and laboratories. Also mention starting date August 1, 2027, 9-month appointment, non-tenure track. Location Springfield, MO. Posted date, deadline. Contact info maybe as a paragraph. Department description: faculty dedicated to specialized courses serving almost 500 undergraduate majors, majors list, MFA, Master of Art Education, Brick City complex, galleries, Visiting Artists series. We need to format as HTML fragment: use

  for each section heading, then content: either

  for prose or

  • for lists. We need to decide how to structure lists: For responsibilities, we can list bullet points: Teach 4-5 courses per semester (21-24 contact hours) in Photography area and General Education; Provide academic advising; Perform service responsibilities; Assist with oversight of Brick City analog photography darkrooms and laboratories. Possibly also mention participation in research or creative activities (from General Function). Could include that. For qualifications: list bullet points: 60-hour MFA in Photography or equivalent terminal degree; Ability to teach all levels of Photography—both digital and analog processes—and other classes dependent on experience and departmental need; Demonstrated potential for excellence in teaching; Commitment to undergraduate education; Communication and interpersonal skills sufficient to work effectively with students and colleagues; Ability to foster a welcoming and inclusive classroom environment. For department description: maybe a paragraph. We also need to include location, posted date, deadline, contact info. Could be under "About the role" or a separate section like "Position Details". But we only have allowed headings; we could put that info in a

    before first heading or as part of About the role. The instruction: "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. Probably we should stick to those headings only. So we can put metadata in a

    before first heading. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't have

    Instructor of Photography

    . Good. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we will drop them. We must remove application instructions and EEO boilerplate. So we will not include the Special Instructions to Applicants paragraph, nor the EEO statement. We must preserve all substantive info; we need to include contact info (Jimmie Allen, email, phone, address, website). That's substantive. We'll include as a paragraph. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep exact phrasing where possible, but we can rephrase slightly as long as we keep detail. Better to keep original sentences. Let's extract substantive sentences: - Location: Springfield, MO - Posted: September 18, 2026 - Application Deadline: November 02, 2026 - Contact: Missouri State University Jimmie Allen JimmieAllen@MissouriState.edu 901 S. National Avenue Springfield, MO, 65897 417-837-2334 https://www.missouristate.edu/ - Position Description: The Department of Art and Design at Missouri State University invites applications for a non-tenure-track Instructor in Photography.

Assistance with oversight of the Brick City analog photography darkrooms and laboratories. - General Function: The Instructor NT is a non-tenure track position with responsibilities to teach full-time and to provide appropriate service.

Ability to teach all levels of Photography—both digital and analog processes—and other classes dependent on experience and departmental need. Successful candidates will demonstrate potential for excellence in teaching, commitment to undergraduate education, and possess communication and interpersonal skills sufficient to work effectively with students and colleagues and foster a welcoming and inclusive classroom environment. We could also include starting date: August 1, 2027. And 9-month appointment (academic year), Non-Tenure Track. We need to decide where to put starting date and appointment type. Could be in About the role paragraph. Now, we need to avoid duplication: The Position Description and General Function overlap; we can combine. We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences. Let's craft:

    Location: Springfield, MO. Posted: September 18, 2026. Application Deadline: November 02, 2026. Contact: Jimmie Allen, JimmieAllen@MissouriState.edu, 901 S.
