Lab Manager & Research Seminars Coordinator
for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
2. Use - for lists of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose
3. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading
4. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it
5. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail
6. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions
7. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text
8. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them
9. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones
10. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Let me analyze the job posting:
The posting has:
- Introductory paragraph about Notre Dame (mission-driven community)
- Job Description paragraph
- Key Responsibilities broken into three areas with percentages:
- Berke Lab Operations & Research Support — 50%
- Undergraduate Research Support & Shared Laboratory Resources — 30%
- Departmental Research Seminar Coordination — 20%
- Independent Research Opportunities
- Qualifications section with Education, Experience, Technical and Laboratory Skills, Communication and Interpersonal Skills, Organizational and Project Management Skills
- Additional Information with Annual Salary, Application Deadline, Required Application Materials, References, Position Duration
- EEO statement (boilerplate to remove)
I need to structure this into appropriate sections. The user mentioned possible headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Looking at the content:
- "About the role" could cover the introductory description
- "Responsibilities" for the key responsibilities
- "Qualifications" for the qualifications section
- "Skills" could be part of qualifications or separate
- "Pay" - there's "Annual Salary: Commensurate with experience" - but this is filler/placeholder text per rule 7 ("commensurate with experience" is listed as filler). So I should NOT create a Pay section.
- "Schedule" - not mentioned
- "Benefits" - not mentioned specifically (just general Notre Dame culture)
The Additional Information has some metadata: Application Deadline, Required Application Materials, References, Position Duration. These are application instructions/metadata - should be removed per rule 6.
The EEO statement is boilerplate - remove.
So I'll create sections for:
1. About the role (the job description paragraph)
2. Responsibilities (the three key responsibility areas)
3. Qualifications (education, experience, skills)
I'll combine the skills subsections into the Qualifications section or make a separate Skills section. The posting has "Technical and Laboratory Skills", "Communication and Interpersonal Skills", "Organizational and Project Management Skills" - these are qualifications/requirements. I'll include them under Qualifications.
I need to use
for headings, - for lists,
for prose.
Let me draft the HTML.
First, the introductory paragraph about Notre Dame is more about the employer than the role. The job description paragraph describes the role. I'll combine them under "About the role".
The responsibilities are detailed with bullet points. I'll create a Responsibilities section with subsections for each area (using
? But rule says use for section headings. It doesn't mention subheadings. I could use for each responsibility area, but that might be too many headings. The rule says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So main sections are h3. For sub-sections within responsibilities, I could use or just use or with bold. But the rule doesn't forbid h4. However, to keep it simple, I'll use
for main sections only, and within Responsibilities, I'll use for the three areas, or just use
...
and then lists.
But the rule says "use for section headings". It doesn't say I cannot use other heading levels. But to be safe, I'll use for the main sections only, and for the three responsibility areas, I'll use or just bold text. I think using is fine as it's semantic HTML. However, the user might expect only h3. I'll use for the three main sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications. Within Responsibilities, I'll use for the three areas.
Alternatively, I could make each responsibility area a separate h3 section, but that would be many sections. The rule says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So I'll keep Responsibilities as one section with subsections.
Let me structure:

I should not include the Additional Information section because it's mostly application instructions and metadata. The salary is "Commensurate with experience" which is filler, so no Pay section. No Benefits section. No Schedule section.
Also, the introductory paragraph about Notre Dame is somewhat boilerplate but it's part of the job description. I'll include it in About the role.
Now, I need to ensure I preserve ALL substantive information. So I must include all bullet points exactly as they appear.
Let me extract the bullet points from the text.
