Lab Assistant II - Psychiatry - 141416

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use

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

  for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to parse the job posting.

The Hiring Pay Scale referenced in the job posting is the budgeted salary or hourly range that the University reasonably expects to pay for this position. The Annual Full Pay Range may be broader than what the University anticipates to pay for this position, based on internal equity, budget, and collective bargaining agreements (when applicable). - Then there is a lot of boilerplate about vaccination, EEO, etc. We need to remove all that. We need to produce sections: maybe "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Qualifications" (maybe combine Minimum and Preferred?), "Skills", "Pay", "Schedule". But we must only include sections when there is real specific content. We have: - About the role: description paragraph about department and role. Could be "About the role". Use

  About the role

  then

  with description. - Responsibilities: list of duties. Could be

  Responsibilities

  then
  • each duty. - Qualifications: could combine Minimum and Preferred? The spec says use headings like Qualifications, Skills. Could have

    Qualifications

    then
    for Minimum Qualifications and maybe separate Preferred? But we could have two sub-sections? Not required. Could list both as list items, maybe differentiate with text? But we must preserve all substantive info. Could do

    Minimum Qualifications

    and

    Preferred Qualifications

    but those are not in the allowed list (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). However we could use "Qualifications" heading and include both minimum and preferred within that section, maybe with paragraphs distinguishing. The instruction: "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples, not exclusive? Probably we should stick to those headings. So we can use Qualifications heading and include both minimum and preferred as list items, maybe with a note. - Skills: Could extract skills like computer skills, communication, etc. But many are already in qualifications. Might be redundant. Could combine. - Pay: we have hiring pay scale and annual full pay range. So we should include Pay section. - Schedule: we have work schedule: Days, Variable; also availability to work evenings, weekends, holidays as needed; must be able to work variable hour schedule. So Schedule section. - Benefits: not mentioned; we should not create Benefits section. - Requirements: maybe we could use Requirements heading for minimum qualifications? But we already have Qualifications. Could use Requirements for minimum qualifications and Qualifications for preferred? But spec says we can use those headings. However we need to avoid filler. Let's decide: Use "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Qualifications" (covering both minimum and preferred), "Pay", "Schedule". That's five sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. We should not include Job ID or filing deadline (application instructions). We should drop those. We need to preserve all substantive information: description, duties, qualifications (minimum and preferred), special conditions (background check, magnetic field, evenings/weekends, transportation, variable schedule), pay info. We need to embed special conditions somewhere; maybe under Responsibilities or Schedule? They are conditions of employment. Could be part of Schedule (availability to work evenings, weekends, holidays; must be able to work variable hour schedule) and also mention background check, magnetic field, transportation. Could be under a separate section like "Requirements" but we don't have that heading. Could add to Qualifications? Might be okay to add a paragraph under Qualifications about special conditions. Or we could create a "Requirements" heading (allowed per examples) for those conditions. The examples include Requirements. So we could use

    Requirements

    for special conditions (background check, magnetic field, evenings/weekends, transportation, variable schedule). That seems appropriate. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. Now we need to format. About the role: paragraph from description: "UCSD Department of Psychiatry is one of the most innovative and productive academic departments of psychiatry in the country with cutting-edge research and state-of-the-art clinical services. The department is committed to offering challenging career opportunities with potential for growth and a dynamic learning environment to its talented and dedicated employees. Under supervision, the incumbent will assist the PIs on studies investigating brain, addiction, and development within the Department of Psychiatry." We could combine that into a paragraph. Responsibilities: list duties: - assisting with data collection - administering behavioral and neurocognitive measures - collecting biological specimens including saliva, urine, and hair - assisting with neuroimaging acquisition - recruitment - obtaining informed assent/consent on participants - entering and verifying study data - scheduling study appointment and research facilities - maintaining equipment and supplies - preparing data collection forms and various correspondence - assist with other tasks as needed We need to preserve all substantive information; we should not omit any. Qualifications: need to include Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. We'll list them as list items, maybe with a note "Minimum Qualifications:" then list items, then "Preferred Qualifications:" then list items. But we must use
    • for any list. Could we have nested? Probably just a flat list; but we need to preserve the distinction. Could do

      Minimum Qualifications:

      then
      ... then

      Preferred Qualifications:

      then
      ... That's acceptable; the heading is Qualifications, then we have paragraphs and lists. Minimum Qualifications text: "Graduation from high school or a General Education Diploma and two years of laboratory experience or two years of college including courses in Psychology or related field and one year of laboratory experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience. Previous lab experience in a research setting. Attention to detail and strong organizational skills. Ability to maintain and protect confidentiality of participant information with working knowledge of mandated reporting procedures. Ability to prioritize workload and work independently and seek guidance or information when appropriate. Strong basic computer skills such as word processing and data entry, as well as experience using Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; Adobe PDF. Proven effective interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills in English. Experience assisting with administering neurocognitive and behavioral assessments. Experience assisting with administering the structural clinical interview, substance use assessments, and NIH-Toolbox. Experience setting up and administering surveys on REDCap. Experience working with clinical populations, including substance use disorder." We could break into separate list items for each bullet, but the spec says use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert each distinct qualification into a list item. However the text is a long sentence with many items separated by periods. We could split by sentences. Let's identify each distinct qualification: 1. Graduation from high school or a General Education Diploma and two years of laboratory experience or two years of college including courses in Psychology or related field and one year of laboratory experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience. 2. Previous lab experience in a research setting. 3. Attention to detail and strong organizational skills. 4. Ability to maintain and protect confidentiality of participant information with working knowledge of mandated reporting procedures. 5. Ability to prioritize workload and work independently and seek guidance or information when appropriate. 6. Strong basic computer skills such as word processing and data entry, as well as experience using Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; Adobe PDF. 7. Proven effective interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills in English. 8. Experience assisting with administering neurocognitive and
