Joint Fellowship Program of HIAS and IFSH
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting: It's a joint fellowship program. Provide sections: About the role (description), Responsibilities? Not explicit but maybe "What we offer" includes benefits. Requirements: doctorate, publications, interdisciplinary profile, relevant experience, prizes, English. Qualifications maybe same as requirements. Skills maybe not explicit. Benefits: company pension scheme, individual training, flexible working hours up to 60% home, additional incentive pay tax-free non-cash benefit card, workspace, tandem partner, academic program, family-friendly housing, etc. Pay: not specified exact amount; but they mention "Additional incentive pay based on our collective agreement (TV AVH) in the form of a tax-free non-cash benefit card". That's a benefit, not pay. No explicit salary. So we should not create Pay section if not specified. Schedule: they mention academic year Oct 1 - Jun 30, preferred period 3-9 months, July-Aug-Sept not fellowship months. That's schedule info. So we can have Schedule section.
We also have "What we offer" includes benefits; we can put Benefits section.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info: research topics list, eligibility, application requirements, etc.
We should structure:
About the role
... description of fellowship program, location, goals, etc.
Research topics
maybe not a standard heading but we can useResearch topics
with- ... but the instruction says use headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use
for section headings (e.g. those). Likely we should stick to those headings only. But we need to convey research topics; could be placed under About the role or Requirements. Probably under About the role we can include description of topics. Similarly, application instructions (documents) we need to preserve but instructions say remove application instructions? Actually: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we must remove application instructions. That means we should not include the list of required documents. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; but they say remove application instructions. That seems contradictory but we follow instruction: remove application instructions. So we omit the "An Application Should Include:" list. We also need to remove duplicated lines (the posting appears duplicated). We'll keep one copy. We need to remove EEO etc. There's a line about equal opportunities welcoming female etc. That's not boilerplate? It's part of substantive content about diversity; we should keep it as it's relevant. Not EEO boilerplate? It's part of program description. Keep. We need to remove navigation etc. Thus final HTML: sections:
About the role
... description: joint fellowship program of HIAS and IFSH invites outstanding scholars (minimum doctorate) for research stay at leading German research institutions in peace and security studies. Based in Hamburg, IFSH offers environment for innovative interdisciplinary research combined with experience at HIAS fellows. Welcomes applicants with substantial academic achievements, intellectual curiosity, interest in inter- and transdisciplinary exchange, willingness to cooperate, consider public understanding. Particularly welcomes projects addressing/topics: list... Also welcomes artists, policy makers if related. Commitment to equal opportunities, welcomes female, non-binary, early career, underrepresented regions. Fellows live and work in Hamburg; only on-site projects suitable; applicants from Hamburg metro region not eligible. All fellows collaborate with a tandem partner from IFSH. Encouraged financial contributions from home institution via sabbatical or paid leave. Academic year Oct 1–Jun 30; preferred period 3–9 months; July-Aug-Sept not fellowship months.
Maybe also include evaluation criteria? Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. We need Requirements section: doctorate minimum; publications in relevant journals; interdisciplinary and international research profile; relevant experience in core topics; prestigious prizes and awards; very good command of English. Also career stage considered, early career potential. Qualifications maybe same; but we can combine. We could have Requirements and Qualifications separate but risk duplication. Better to have Requirements include doctorate etc, and Qualifications maybe include "career stage considered, early career potential". But we can keep them distinct. Skills: maybe not explicit; we could omit Skills section if no specific skills listed. Benefits: company pension scheme based on Hamburg pension model; individual training opportunities as part of IFSH staff development program; flexible working hours and opportunity to work up to 60% from home depending on personal situation and job context; additional incentive pay based on collective agreement (TV AVH) tax-free non-cash benefit card; utmost freedom and flexibility to pursue own research; fully equipped workspace in central Hamburg; continuous assistance by HIAS and IFSH teams; tandem partner from IFSH gives access to local networks; HIAS supports identifying cooperation partners at its ten member institutions; academic program: weekly lunches and colloquia/dinners, mandatory participation; family-friendly living conditions: centrally located guesthouse of University of Hamburg with furnished apartments, cooking facilities; welcome life partners and children, assistance finding accommodation, schools, day care. Pay: Not specified explicit salary; we have incentive pay as benefit; but we could still create Pay section mentioning "Additional incentive pay based on collective agreement (TV AVH) in the form of a tax-free non-cash benefit card". However that is already in Benefits. To avoid duplication, maybe we keep Pay empty? Better not to create Pay section if no explicit salary. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state benefits, so we create Benefits. It does not state pay/salary, so we omit Pay. Schedule: we have academic year Oct 1–Jun 30, preferred period 3–9 months, July-Aug-Sept not fellowship months. So we create Schedule section. We also need to include application deadline? The posting includes "Bewerbungsfrist: 16.11.26". That's a date. Should we include? It's not in the list of headings but could be placed in About the role or maybe a separate metadata paragraph. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a shortor drop it. So we can include the deadline in a short p maybe under About the role or separate small p before sections. Probably include in About the role paragraph. We must not include application instructions (list of required docs). So we omit that. We must not include duplicated lines; we have only one copy. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft:
About the role
Bewerbungsfrist: 16.11.26. The joint fellowship program of HIAS and IFSH invites outstanding scholars (minimum requirement: doctorate) to apply for a research stay at one of Germany’s leading research institutions in the field of peace and security studies. Based in Hamburg, IFSH offers a unique environment to foster innovative and interdisciplinary research combined with the intellectual and professional experience of spending time in a group of internationally renowned fellows from a broad range of disciplines at HIAS. The program welcomes applicants with substantial academic achievements, intellectual curiosity, and an above-average interest in inter‑ and transdisciplinary exchange. Ideal candidates are willing to cooperate with scholars at IFSH and fellows at HIAS and should consider how their project might foster a broader public understanding of the topic. The fellowship particularly welcomes projects addressing or adjacent to the following research topics: societal perspectives on peace and security, political violence, fascism, polarisation, radicalisation, and counter‑terrorism; great power conflict, arms dynamics and deterrence, strategic stability, emerging technologies and cybersecurity; European security architecture, European regional security organisations, future of European security; climate change and security, polycrisis, disaster response and preparedness, crisis resilience and civil protection. Projects that connect such topics with interdisciplinary perspectives are especially welcome. Applications from artists, policy makers, and other professionals may also be considered if their work is closely related to the programme’s research focus and engages substantively with scholarly inquiry. As HIAS and IFSH are committed to equal opportunities, the fellowship programme particularly welcomes applications from female and non‑binary scholars, early‑career researchers, and individuals from regions usually under‑represented in research and academia. During the fellowship fellows live and work in Hamburg; therefore only projects that can be carried out on‑site at HIAS and IFSH are suitable. Applicants from within the metropolitan region of Hamburg are not eligible. All fellows are expected to collaborate with a tandem partner from IFSH. Possible financial contributions from the applicant’s home institution (e.g. via sabbatical or paid leave) are highly encouraged and should be mentioned in the application. The academic year usually runs from 1 October to 30 June of the following year; applicants indicate a preferred period of at least three and no more than nine months, with July, August and September excluded as fellowship months.
