Learning Specialist
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. 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.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
Content includes:
- About the university (Get to Know Us!): description of Marshall University, mission, etc. Could be "About the role"? Actually it's about the organization. Could be "About the role" but maybe better "About the University" but instructions only list example headings; they didn't forbid other headings? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests those are typical but not exclusive? It says use for section headings (e.g. ...). Likely we should stick to those headings where applicable. The "Get to Know Us!" could be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. Could be "About the role" describing the position context. But we have a separate "Job Description" section. The "Get to Know Us!" is more about the employer. Could be omitted? But we need to preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include that info somewhere. Perhaps we can put it under a heading "About the role" as a brief description of the organization and role context. Or we could create a custom heading like "About Marshall University". The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, but to be safe, we could use "About the role" and include the university description there.
Then we have "Position Information" includes Position Title, Banner Position Number, E-Class, Department, etc. Those are metadata; we should fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. The instructions: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph with Position Title, Department, etc. But we should not repeat the job title as a heading. So we can include a paragraph: "Position Title: Learning Specialist; Department: SOM-Family Community Health - MU9420; E-Class: NC - Nonclassified - .53 or >; Banner Position Number: 000516." That's minor metadata.
Then we have "Job Description" which includes description of role, essential job functions, goals, etc. This is substantive. We can split into sections: Responsibilities (essential job functions), Requirements (qualifications), maybe Skills (communication, organizational). Benefits: we have benefits described (health insurance, tuition benefits, retirement, life insurance, wellness programs, holidays, leave, winter break). Pay: Salary Range $44,918-$58,393; Salary is commensurate with experience and internal equity. The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state salary range, benefits, schedule (work week 37.5 hrs, winter break, holidays). So we can include Pay, Benefits, Schedule sections.
But we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". That's actual text; we can include it but not as a heading alone. It's okay to include in Pay section.
We must not create sections with placeholder text. So we need to ensure each section has real content.
Let's outline:
-
About the role
: include the "Get to Know Us!" description (university mission, etc.) plus maybe the job description overview? Could combine.
But we also have a separate "Job Description" paragraph that describes the role's purpose. Might be better to have "About the role" contain the university description and brief role summary. Then "Responsibilities" for essential job functions. Then "Requirements" for qualifications (required and preferred). Then "Skills" maybe for communication, organizational, presentation skills. Then "Benefits" for benefits list. Then "Pay" for salary range. Then "Schedule" for work week, holidays, winter break.
Check if any section would be empty or filler.
Let's extract content.
About the role (university description):
"Marshall University is a public comprehensive university with a rich history as one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in West Virginia. Founded in 1837 and named after Chief Justice John Marshall, definer of the Constitution, Marshall University advances the public good through innovative, accredited educational programs. We are located in downtown Huntington, West Virginia, with additional locations in South Charleston and Point Pleasant. Marshall University’s mission, inspired by our Vision and Creed, includes a commitment to: Offer a wide range of high quality, affordable, and accessible undergraduate, graduate, and professional education that prepares students to think, learn, work, and live in an evolving global society.

We are committed to attracting and retaining quality faculty and staff. In doing so, Marshall University offers outstanding benefit packages to eligible employees only. (E-Class in the job posting). Marshall University Research Corporation (MURC) employees have different benefit options than those listed below. Work week is 37.5 hrs. A great highlight in December is that Marshall University employees receive almost two weeks off for Winter Break! Holidays – Employees receive 13 Paid Holidays Annual and Sick Leave – Classified Staff, Non-Classified Staff and 12-month Faculty earn up to 24 days of annual leave per year (max 360 hours) and up to 18 days of sick leave per year. ) Employee Leave Health Insurance – Marshall University offers health insurance through West Virginia Public Employees Insurance Agency (PEIA).

Full-time benefits eligible employees must participate in the mandated retirement plan (401(a)). Life Insurance – Basic term life insurance ($10,000) at no cost and may purchase optional life insurance coverage with pre-tax earnings. Wellness Programs – PEIA provides various care management programs and the Pathways to Wellness program. We are . . . Marshall!"
That's a lot of benefits and schedule info mixed in. We'll need to parse out benefits and schedule separately.
But the "Get to Know Us!" includes benefits and schedule details. We should not duplicate. We'll extract the university description (mission, history, location) for About the role, and then separate Benefits and Schedule sections from the rest.
Let's isolate:
University description (history, mission, location) up to "Come join our Herd!" maybe before benefits.

We can treat the benefits and schedule as separate sections.
Now the "Position Information" metadata: Position Title Learning Specialist Banner Position Number 000516 E-Class NC - Nonclassified - .53 or > Department SOM-Family Community Health - MU9420
We'll put that in a short paragraph.
Then "Job Description" paragraph: "The Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine (JCESOM) Learning Specialist will work with medical students and/or physicians in the JCESOM who would benefit from individual or group support to improve their study, test taking, and overall academic skills through focused curricula developed through the Marshall Medical HELP Program.
