Interdisciplinary Physical Scientist/Chemist.

We need to output only HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes duties (responsibilities), requirements (conditions of employment), qualifications (basic requirements, specialized experience, education). No explicit Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections. So we should include sections: About the role? Not present; maybe we can skip. Responsibilities: yes. Requirements: yes (conditions of employment). Qualifications: yes (basic requirements, specialized experience, education). Possibly Skills: not explicit. Benefits: not explicit (only mention of benefits package but no specifics). Pay: not explicit. Schedule: not explicit. So we output three sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. We need to use

for each heading. Use

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

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. So we need to extract duties list, requirements list, qualifications details. Let's parse the posting. Duties section: starts with "Duties The responsibilities described apply to both the Physical Scientist and Chemist position titles." Then a list of duties sentences separated by periods. We need to turn each duty into

• . Should we keep the introductory sentence? Probably we can include as part of list or as a

  before list. The instruction: Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. So we can have a

    for introductory sentence then

    for each duty. Duties list: - Performs complex analyses of airborne mine particulates. - Prepares and analyzes samples for quartz using x-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). - Prepares and analyzes fume, water, and bulk samples for elemental composition using inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy. - Analyzes diesel particulate samples using an elemental carbon analyzer. - Analyzes dust samples for size and number concentration using microscopic and electronic counting techniques. - Reviews the background material submitted with the samples, determining approaches as needed. - Modifies and adapts standard methods and procedures to solve analytical problems. - Evaluates and interprets analytical findings, reporting results and makes recommendations as needed. - Evaluates the acceptability of samples, stating the method used, modifications of the method, the results and the impact of any quality control deficiencies on data usability. - Interprets analytical data as it relates to project goals. - Explains analytical results as needed. - Independently works out the required test procedures and methods for the analysis of particulate samples that may require modification of standard or generally acceptable methods of analysis. - Validates the method with known samples and prepares reports of results in the standard MSHA format. - Keeps abreast of the latest developments in the field of industrial hygiene sample analyses and environmental chemistry and recommends new instrumentation and/or techniques which may be applicable. - Provides technical advice to laboratory personnel and consults with outside scientists in the specialty area. - Processes laboratory data using various commercial and custom made computer software programs. - Prepares technical manuscripts dealing with the work conducted. That's the duties. Now Requirements: "Conditions of employment Must be at least 16 years old.Must be a U.S. Citizen.Candidate required to obtain the necessary security/investigation level.Requires a probationary period if the requirement has not been met.Subject to financial disclosure requirements." We need to list each as
    • . Also maybe include other requirement bits later? There's also "Based on agency needs, additional positions may be filled using this vacancy." etc but that's more boilerplate. We'll keep only substantive conditions. Thus Requirements list: - Must be at least 16 years old. - Must be a U.S. Citizen. - Candidate required to obtain the necessary security/investigation level. - Requires a probationary period if the requirement has not been met. - Subject to financial disclosure requirements. Now Qualifications: This is lengthy. We need to preserve all substantive info. Should we break into sub-sections? The instruction says use

      for section headings only; we can have only one Qualifications section. Inside we can have

      prose and

      • for lists. We need to include: - Basic Requirement - Physical Scientist - Basic Requirement - Chemist - Specialized Experience for GS-07, GS-09, GS-11 (including alternatives) - Education note about false claims, foreign education comparability. We should keep all details. We need to avoid placeholders like "commensurate with experience" etc. There's none. We need to format as HTML. Let's structure:

        Responsibilities

        The responsibilities described apply to both the Physical Scientist and Chemist position titles.

        • ...
        ...

        Requirements

        • Must be at least 16 years old.
        ...

        Qualifications

        You must meet the Basic Requirements to qualify for Physical Scientist/Chemist, as described below. Transcripts must be submitted to verify education requirements.

        • Basic Requirement - Physical Scientist: Degree: physical science, engineering, or mathematics that included 24 semester hours in physical science and/or related engineering science such as mechanics, dynamics, properties of materials, and electronics. OR Combination of education and experience -- education equivalent to one of the majors shown in A above that included at least 24 semester hours in physical science and/or related engineering science, plus appropriate experience or additional education.
        • Basic Requirement - Chemist: Degree: physical sciences, life sciences, or engineering that included 30 semester hours in chemistry, supplemented by course work in mathematics through differential and integral calculus, and at least 6 semester hours of physics. OR Combination of education and experience -- course work equivalent to a major as shown in A above, including at least 30 semester hours in chemistry, supplemented by mathematics through differential and integral calculus, and at least 6 semester hours of physics, plus appropriate experience or additional education.
        Then we need to include Specialized Experience details for GS-07, GS-09, GS-11. Could be a

        intro then nested lists? Since we can only use

        • for lists, we can have multiple
          sections. We'll do:

          In addition to the basic requirements as described above, your application and resume must clearly show that you possess the experience defined below. Be sure these types of examples are evident in your resume. Specialized Experience is the experience that equipped the applicant with the particular knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA's) to perform the duties of the position successfully, and that is typically in or related to the position to be filled. To be creditable, specialized experience must have been equivalent to at least the next lower grade level.

          Then for each grade level we can have a

          ? Not allowed; only

          for section headings. We cannot use other headings. So we must keep within

          and

          • . We can embed the grade info inside
          • as text. Thus we can have a
            where each
            • contains the GS-07 requirements etc. Let's craft:
              • GS-07: Applicants must have 52 weeks of specialized experience equivalent to at least the next lower grade level, GS-5, in the Federal Service that has equipped the applicant with the particular knowledge, experience and skills to successfully perform the duties of the position.

              • GS-09: Applicants must have 52 weeks of specialized experience equivalent to at least the next lower grade level, GS-7, in the Federal Service that has equipped the applicant with the particular knowledge, experience and skills to successfully perform the duties of the position.

If your education was completed at a foreign college or university, you must show comparability to education received in accredited educational institutions in the United States and comparability to applicable minimum coursework requirements for this position.

              We should also include the "Click Additional information" etc? That's boilerplate; we remove. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The "Click
