Interim Dean of Health Sciences, ...

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes Position Summary, Pay, Benefits & Work Schedule, About The College, About The College, About The Department, Essential Functions (list of duties), Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Conditions of Employment (maybe not needed?), Other Information (maybe not needed). We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content to these headings. The instructions: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings? Probably we can use those headings where appropriate. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills maybe not separate, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Pay, Benefits & Work Schedule section. So we can have Pay, Benefits, Schedule separate or combined? The instruction says use those headings; we can include Pay, Benefits, Schedule as separate headings if content exists. The posting includes salary range, benefits description, work schedule (40 hours per week, exempt). So we can have three sections: Pay, Benefits, Schedule. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". The posting includes salary range and typical start. That's specific enough. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the salary range, typical start, benefits description, work schedule. We need to include About the role: position summary paragraph. Responsibilities: essential functions list (multiple bullet points). We'll need to convert each essential function into

under a

. Requirements: minimum qualifications list. Qualifications: preferred qualifications list. Skills: maybe not present; we could omit if no specific skills listed beyond qualifications. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Skills into Qualifications? But they said use headings like Skills. If we don't have specific skills, we should omit Skills section. Benefits: description of benefits. Pay: salary range and typical start. Schedule: work hours and exempt status. Also About The College and About The Department could be part of About the role? But we have headings About the role, Responsibilities, etc. The college/department description could be considered part of About the role or maybe we could add a section About the College and About the Department but not in the prescribed headings. The instruction says 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. Likely they want us to use those headings only. So we should map college/department info into About the role maybe. Thus About the role section will include position summary plus info about college and department. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, scam warning, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:
