Lecturer, Kinesiology Social Sciences
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. Include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. It does state Pay Range and benefits details. So we can have a Pay and Benefits section. Schedule? Not mentioned. So no Schedule heading.
We need to decide which headings to use: "About the role" (maybe from Position Overview), "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Preferred Qualifications" maybe combine? Could have "Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications" as sub-sections? But we can only use headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "Requirements" could cover minimum qualifications. "Skills" could cover preferred qualifications? Or we could have separate sections for "Qualifications" (minimum) and "Preferred Qualifications" but not in list. Might combine into Qualifications and Skills. Let's interpret: Use "Qualifications" for minimum qualifications, "Skills" for preferred qualifications or skills. Also "About the role" for position overview. "Responsibilities" for job responsibilities. "Benefits" for benefits. "Pay" for pay range. Could also include "About The Department" maybe as part of About the role? But we have to preserve all substantive info; we could include a section "About the Department" but not in allowed headings. The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning examples, not exclusive list? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely we should stick to those headings; we can also use other headings if needed? It says use for section headings (e.g. ...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but to be safe we should use those headings only. However we need to preserve all substantive info, including department description and university overview. Could we embed those within About the role or Responsibilities? Probably we can create an "About the role" section that includes position overview and department description and university overview. But that might be too much mixing. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine.
Thus sections: About the role (includes Position Overview, About The Department, About University Of Minnesota). Responsibilities (Job Responsibilities). Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications). Skills (Preferred Qualifications). Benefits (Benefits). Pay (Pay Range). Possibly also "Requirements" could be used for minimum qualifications instead of Qualifications. But we already have Qualifications. Let's follow the list: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Lecturer, Kinesiology Social Sciences.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. The Job Code 9753 is minor metadata; we can drop it or include in a short p. Probably drop it.
We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So remove "How To Apply", "Diversity", "Employment Requirements", "About University Of Minnesota" (if we embed it, okay), but we need to keep the substantive info about university? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep info about university, but we can embed it in About the role section. That's fine.
We must remove duplicated lines: there are duplicates like "Employment Requirements" appears twice; we will keep only once if we include, but we may drop it as boilerplate? It's substantive? It's about background check etc. Might be considered boilerplate but it's employment requirement. Might be considered legal? It's about background check, which is substantive. However we might drop as it's generic. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Background check could be considered legal boilerplate. Might be safe to drop. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; is background check substantive? It's a condition of employment. Might be considered substantive. However the instruction says remove legal boilerplate. I'd drop it.
Similarly "Diversity" and EEO statements are boilerplate; drop.
"About University Of Minnesota" is descriptive; could be considered substantive about the institution. Might keep.
We'll embed that in About the role.
Now we need to format lists: For responsibilities, we have many items separated by periods. We should convert each bullet into
- . The responsibilities list includes many items; we can split by sentences that start with a verb. Let's extract:
Teaching (80%):
- Teach the equivalent of 6 courses per academic year (3 each fall and spring semesters, 2-4 credits per course).
- Provide leadership to undergraduate curricula evaluation and innovation.
- Teach core courses in the undergraduate programs including large lecture courses.
- Teach other undergraduate and graduate courses as needed.
- Develop and prepare course content, materials, and syllabi.
- Instruct courses using diverse modes of delivery.
- Evaluate student performance and grade student materials such as exams, papers, and projects.
- Respond to student inquiries and meet with students.
- Supervise graduate teaching assistants.
- Participate in on-campus professional development training relevant to teaching and learning.
- Develop partnerships that provide experiential learning opportunities for students.
- Supervise field experiences and mentor students on career readiness.
- Mentor undergraduate and graduate students in directed study, independent study, and honors program experiences.
- Advise graduate students at the master’s level.
- Serve on graduate examining committees at the master’s and doctoral level.
Service (20%):
- Participate in school, college, and University service activities.
- Serve on and lead departmental, college and University-wide committees and work groups as requested, assigned, or initiated.
- Coordinate undergraduate and/or graduate programs.
- Support colleagues in nomination for institutional awards via letters of nomination and recommendation.
- Serve at the community, local, national, and/or international levels as appropriate.
We'll make two lists maybe under Responsibilities with subheadings? But we only have
- for any list; we can have nested? Probably just one list; we could separate Teaching and Service as separate
with headings? But we cannot add extra headings besides . Could add
headings? Not allowed. Could just make one big list; but that mixes teaching and service. Might be okay.
Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications list:
- Earned PhD or other terminal degree in Kinesiology or a closely related discipline. (ABD considered with degree completion by time of appointment)
- Can consider earned MS in Kinesiology or closely related discipline with an additional 2+ years of relevant experience in pedagogical or industry settings
- Demonstrated teaching experience and effectiveness in higher education.
- Teaching competencies, industry experience, and/or research expertise in introductory courses in kinesiology social science oriented courses.
- Demonstrated strengths in writing and communication skills.
- Commitment to service at the professional, university, departmental, and community levels.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with people from a variety of communities, backgrounds, and identities.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Ability to teach across the kinesiology curriculum
- Experience in mentoring or advising undergraduate or graduate students.
- Record of publications in peer-reviewed journals and refereed presentations at professional conferences.
We'll put these in Qualifications (minimum) and Skills (preferred).

Pay: Pay Range: $60,000 - $67,000 per year ; depending on education/qualifications/experience Time Appointment: 100% Appointment Position Type: Faculty and P&A Staff
We can put Pay section with a paragraph.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll produce something like:
