Laboratory Technician III
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions (like "For full consideration please submit...") and "Required Documents" maybe considered application instructions? The instruction says: remove application instructions. So we should drop Required Documents section. Also drop ADA? It's about physical requirements; maybe keep as part of overview? It's a specific content about physical demands; could be included under a section like "Physical Requirements" but not in allowed headings list. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content to these headings. The posting includes Overview (about role), Responsibilities, Qualifications (minimum and preferred), Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (skills), Advertised Salary (pay), Benefits (mention "excellent benefits" and "0.75 FTE benefited position with additional funding secured to increase the position from 0.75 to 1.0 FTE through August 31,2030.") Also schedule? Not mentioned. So we may not include Schedule heading.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from Overview, Responsibilities, Qualifications (minimum and preferred), Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities, Advertised Salary, Benefits (including FTE details). Also maybe include College/Department Highlights and University Highlights? Those are extra info about the institution; could be considered part of About the role? But they are not required headings; we could include them under About the role as prose. However we must not create extra headings not in list. So we can embed that info in About the role paragraph.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, non-discrimination, etc. Remove those.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:

This is a 0.75 FTE benefited position with additional funding secured to increase the position from 0.75 to 1.0 FTE through August 31,2030.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive information: include details about training, etc.
Let's extract Overview text:
"Overview The newly established Comparative and Translational Veterinary Pharmacology Laboratory in the Department of Veterinary Clinical and Life Sciences at Utah State University, led by Dr. Stephanie Martinez, is seeking a meticulous, reliable, and collaborative Lab Technician III to support a broad range of translational research activities. The technician will play a key role in operating and maintaining the laboratory’s liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) system, performing in vitro metabolism and pharmacology assays and molecular biology techniques, supporting daily laboratory operations, and processing, organizing, and documenting laboratory samples and biological samples from veterinary species. The successful applicant will receive training in laboratory procedures, instrumentation, software, and compliance practices that are new to them, and will be expected to perform assigned procedures independently after training. This position requires exceptional attention to detail, integrity, strong organizational skills, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team, with sound judgment about when to troubleshoot independently and when to seek guidance. The ideal candidate has a background in analytical chemistry and molecular biology and values variety, precision, and teamwork while contributing to research that improves the safety and efficacy of therapeutics across veterinary species. This is a 0.75 FTE benefited position with additional funding secured to increase the position from 0.75 to 1.0 FTE through August 31,2030. This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship. U.S. Work Authorization is required for the duration of employment."
We need to remove visa sponsorship line? It's substantive but maybe not needed? It's about eligibility; could be considered part of About the role. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that line. However we might also include it in About the role.
But we also have a separate Benefits section for FTE details; we might duplicate. Better to keep FTE details in Benefits section, and keep visa sponsorship and work authorization in About the role.
Now Responsibilities: list each bullet.
We need to convert each sentence into - . Let's extract responsibilities list:
- Perform precision sample preparation and operate, maintain, and document analytical LC-MS/MS workflows for the quantification of drugs and metabolites in biological matrices using validated bioanalytical methods.
- Assist with method development and validation activities as directed.
- Conduct molecular biology, biochemical, and in vitro drug metabolism and pharmacology assays, including DNA/RNA extractions, PCR-based techniques, immunoblotting, cell culture, microsome preparation and incubations, and plate-based assays.
- Support workflows for biological samples collected from veterinary species, including receiving, transporting, processing, labeling, aliquoting, storing, tracking, and documenting samples in accordance with SOPs, biosafety requirements, and study protocols. Depending on training, experience, and study needs, the technician may also assist with sample collection procedures under approved protocols.
- Manage day-to-day laboratory operations, including inventory tracking and ordering, equipment maintenance coordination, safety documentation, sample and reagent organization, and maintaining a clean, organized, and shared laboratory environment.
- Maintain accurate laboratory records, instrument logs, SOPs, quality-control records, and other study-related documentation in accordance with laboratory expectations and study requirements, and GLP-aligned practices when applicable.
- Train and support collaborating faculty, graduate students, veterinary students, and undergraduate researchers in laboratory safety, equipment use, and standard techniques after appropriate training and competency development.
- Record, organize, summarize, and prepare laboratory data, including LC-MS/MS quantification results, molecular assay results, immunoblot images, and plate-based assay outputs, to support data interpretation, reporting, and downstream analysis.
- Attend lab meetings and contribute to discussions, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of laboratory workflows.
- Perform additional laboratory, research, or administrative duties as assigned.
Now Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications.
Minimum Qualifications: "Associate’s degree in a science-related field and two years of related laboratory technician experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience that includes at least one year of laboratory technician experience."
