Lab Manager/Sr Scientist - Immunology (Gao Lab)
for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
2. Use - for lists,
for prose
3. Do NOT repeat job title as heading
4. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings - fold into short
or drop
5. Preserve ALL substantive information
4. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/scam-warning), duplicated lines, application instructions
5. Include section ONLY when posting has real, specific content - never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text
6. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them
7. Output ONLY HTML fragment - no /, no markdown code fences
Let me analyze the job posting:
**Job Summary** - This is "About the role" content
**Responsibilities** - Essential functions, Lab Manager role, Senior Research Scientist role, Work Environment, Physical Requirements
**Minimum Qualifications** - Equivalency statement, job levels (Research Scientist II)
**Preferences** - Preferred qualifications, highly desirable experience
**Special Instructions** - Start date, application materials
**Metadata** - Requisition number, Full Time/Part Time, Work Schedule Summary, Department, Location, Pay Rate Range, Close Date, Open Until Filled, application URL, copyright
I need to structure this into appropriate sections. Let me map:
- About the role: Job Summary content
- Responsibilities: Essential functions, Lab Manager role, Senior Research Scientist role, Work Environment, Physical Requirements
- Requirements/Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications (equivalency, job levels)
- Skills: Preferences (preferred qualifications, highly desirable experience)
- Schedule: Work Schedule Summary (Monday-Friday, occasional evenings/weekends, 40 hrs/week, on-site)
- Pay: Pay Rate Range (43,796 - 84,883)
- Benefits: The posting mentions "Learn about the great benefits of working for University of Utah at benefits.utah.edu" but doesn't list specific benefits. Should I include a Benefits section? The rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It mentions benefits but doesn't state them - just a link. I think I should not create a Benefits section since no specific benefits are listed.
- Location: Department and Location info could go in a short paragraph or in Schedule section
- Requisition number, close date, application URL - these are metadata, should fold into a short
or drop. The rule says "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." I'll include a brief metadata paragraph at the end.
Also note: "This position will begin January 2027" - that's important info.
Let me structure:

- but rule says use for section headings. Should I use for sub-sections? The rule says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It doesn't mention sub-headings. I think I should keep it flat with for main sections only. For sub-categories within Responsibilities, I could use or just incorporate into list items. But the rule says "use for section headings" - implying only for headings. I'll use for main sections and maybe for sub-sections if needed, but the example only shows . Let me re-read: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It doesn't forbid other heading levels, but says "use for section headings". I think it's safer to use only for the main sections listed, and for sub-sections, either use or incorporate into prose/lists. I'll use for sub-sections within Responsibilities.
Actually, looking at the rule again: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". This suggests these are the only section headings to use. So I should not create additional headings beyond these categories. For sub-categories, I'll use or just bold text in list items.
Let me plan sections:
1. About the role (Job Summary)
2. Responsibilities (Essential functions, Lab Manager role, Senior Research Scientist role, Work Environment, Physical Requirements)
3. Requirements (Minimum Qualifications - equivalency, job levels)
4. Skills (Preferences - preferred qualifications, highly desirable experience)
5. Schedule (Work Schedule Summary)
6. Pay (Pay Rate Range)
7. Maybe a final paragraph for metadata (requisition, department, location, close date, start date, application info)
The posting says "Special Instructions: This position will begin January 2027. Please Attach To Application Cover Letter... CV... References." That's application instructions - should be removed per "Remove ... application instructions". But the start date is important info. I'll include start date in About the role or Schedule.
Also "Requisition Number: PRN46572B" - metadata, fold into short
.
"Department: 00247 - Pathology Location: Campus" - location info.
"Close Date: 01/22/2027 Open Until Filled" - metadata.
