Instructor/Professor of Instruction (Open Rank) Interpreter Training / ASL

We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags, no markdown fences. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. The posting includes: About the role? There's a description about USF CSD, but not exactly "About the role". There's "About the Position" which is similar to About the role. So we can use

About the role

with content from "About the Position". Responsibilities: there is a "Responsibilities" heading then description. So we can include

Responsibilities

with content. Qualifications: there is a "Qualifications" heading with Minimum and Preferred. So we can include

Qualifications

with content. Skills: maybe we can extract from qualifications some skill-like items: ASL fluency, national certification, professional interpreting experience, teaching experience, etc. But we should not invent. The posting includes "National certification", "Professional interpreting experience", "Teaching experience", "Student and intern evaluation", "ASL fluency". Those could be considered skills. However we need to decide whether to include a Skills section. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine qualifications and skills? But they said use headings for those categories. If we have qualifications already, we could omit Skills to avoid thin section. However we need to include Skills only if posting has real specific content for it. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading, but we could infer skill list from qualifications. But better to not create a Skills section unless there is explicit skill list. The posting does not have explicit skills list; it's embedded in qualifications. So we may omit Skills. Benefits: The posting includes a paragraph about benefits under "About Us Working at USF" and "Our first-class benefits package includes medical, dental and life insurance plans, retirement plan options, employee and dependent tuition programs, generous leave, and hundreds of employee perks and discounts." That's substantive. So we can include

Benefits

with that content. Pay: The posting says "Salary Is Competitive And Commensurate With Qualifications And Experience." That's vague, not specific numbers. The instruction: 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. Since Pay is stated as "competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience" which is placeholder-like, we should NOT create a Pay section. Schedule: The posting mentions full-time (12-month) instructional faculty position. That's schedule info: full-time, 12-month. That's specific enough? It's not vague like "varies". It states full-time (12-month). So we can create a Schedule section with that detail. We also need to include any other sections like Requirements? The posting has qualifications but not separate Requirements. Could combine Requirements with Qualifications? But we have Qualifications already. We could omit Requirements to avoid thin. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can reorganize into sections. Must not omit any substantive info. Let's extract all substantive info: - Intro about USF Communication Sciences and Disorders department: description of faculty, community service, training, degrees, clinics, rankings, etc. This is "About the role" maybe. - About the Position: full-time (12-month) instructional faculty position supporting undergraduate Interpreter Training Program and ASL course sequence. Details about appointment ranks based on degree, etc. Teaching duties: teach undergraduate courses in interpreter theory, interpreting practice (including practicum/internship), ASL; participate in service; may assume leadership role as program director depending on experience. Requirements: record of effective university-level teaching, substantial professional interpreting experience, commitment to student success, adherence to professional standards, engagement with students, Deaf communities, professional partners. - Qualifications: Minimum: Education (master's degree in interpreting, interpreter education, Deaf education, Deaf studies, ASL, linguistics, communication sciences and disorders, education, or closely related field for Instructor series; doctoral degree for Professor of Instruction series). National certification: RID, NAD-IV or higher, or BEI-Master or higher. Professional interpreting experience: at least five years. Teaching experience: at least three years of high school, college-, or university-level teaching experience in an ASL or interpreting program, with demonstrated range of coursework. Student and intern evaluation: demonstrated experience evaluating interpreting students and interns. ASL fluency: native or near-native fluency in ASL. Preferred Qualifications: Teaching experience: more than five years of college- or university-level teaching experience in interpreter education. Program and curriculum experience: experience in curriculum development, student assessment, program improvement, or fieldwork and internship coordination. Instructional effectiveness: evidence of sustained instructional effectiveness. Course delivery: experience teaching online, hybrid, or technology-supported courses. Specialized interpreting: experience in trilingual interpreting (Spanish, ASL, and English), oral transliteration, or other specialized interpreting settings. Certification: ASLTA certification. Program leadership: demonstrated leadership of an interpreting program. Community and professional engagement: demonstrated effectiveness working with students, Deaf communities, and professional partners. Advanced qualifications: progressively advanced instructional leadership, program contributions, and professional service appropriate to the proposed rank. - How To Apply: apply through USF online system, submit cover letter, CV, two letters of recommendation. Review begins late Oct 2026 continue until filled. Contact Dr. Theresa “Terry” Chisolm, email. For ADA accommodations contact melaniesalarbux@usf.edu. Learn more: Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders. - Then there is a paragraph about USF: top-ranked research university, approx 50k students, rankings, etc. This is generic about university; could be considered "About Us" but not required. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO/legal but it's descriptive. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Learn more: Department..." maybe considered application instructions? It's a link to learn more. Might be considered application instructions? It's not exactly instructions to apply but a reference. Might keep? The instruction says remove application instructions. The "Learn more: Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders" could be considered a reference, not instruction. But we might keep it as part of About the role? It's not essential. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; this is substantive about the department. It's already covered earlier in the intro about department. Might be duplicate. We can keep it but avoid duplication. - Then "About Us Working at USF": description of employees, benefits, etc. This includes benefits paragraph. Also includes info about Forbes ranking, etc. That's substantive about employer. Could be part of Benefits section or separate About Us. But we only have headings for Benefits, Pay, Schedule, etc. We could include a section "About the University" but not in allowed headings. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we must fit content into those headings. The "About Us Working at USF" includes benefits and general employer info. We can put the benefits part into Benefits section, and the rest maybe we can incorporate into About the role? But About the role is about the role, not the university. However we could treat the initial department description as About the role. The university description could be considered part of About the role as context. Might be okay. We must not create sections not listed. So we cannot add a separate "About the University" heading. So we need to incorporate that info into existing sections, maybe About the role (which already includes department description). The university description is about USF overall, not just department. Could be considered part of About the role as background. We'll include it in About the role section. Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings

and content in

or

• . For lists, we need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert enumerated items into lists. Let's structure:

    We also need to include info about application process? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should not include "How To Apply" etc. Also remove contact info? That's part of application instructions. So we should omit contact details, review dates, etc. Also remove EEO boilerplate etc. So we omit those. We also need to preserve all substantive information; we omitted contact info, application instructions, review dates, etc. Are those considered substantive? They are procedural details for applying. The instruction says remove application instructions.
