Marine Mammal Stranding Internship - Winter/Spring Session 2027

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions? The instruction says: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove application instructions like "Required Application Materials", "Please, no inquiries regarding the status of your application." etc. Also remove "Incomplete applications will not be considered." etc. Also remove "Future Internship Sessions" etc. Also remove "IFAW is an equal opportunity employer." etc. Also remove "Winter/spring intern orientation will be mid-January 2027."? That's maybe schedule? Actually orientation date is schedule info. Could be part of Schedule section. But we need to see if we have schedule info: The posting includes "Winter/Spring Session 2027 (Mid-January 2027 – End of May 2027) Complete Applications Due: October 15th, 2026". Also "Interns may be required to work some holidays." Also "Must be able to commit to 3 or 4 days per week, which includes 1 weekend day, for the duration of the internship session. As cases arise, interns may be able to assist with overnight coverage in up to 12-hour shifts when patients are in-house at CICU." Also "Winter/spring intern orientation will be mid-January 2027. All accepted interns are required to attend all 3 consecutive days of training." That's schedule info. So we can create a Schedule section with those details. Pay: The posting says "This internship is unpaid and housing and transportation are the responsibility of the intern." So we have Pay section: unpaid. Benefits: The posting mentions "If accepted, we will try to provide interns with resources to help find housing." Also "Specialized gear such as dry suits, boots and life jackets will be provided." Also "This position is eligible for workers’ compensation." Also maybe "Interns may be required to work some holidays." That's not a benefit. So we can include Benefits: housing assistance resources, gear provided, workers' compensation eligibility. Qualifications vs Requirements vs Skills: We need to decide which headings to use. The posting includes Requirements list: Must be at least 18, valid driver's license, enrolled in undergrad/grad program, able to follow directions, commit to 3-4 days per week including 1 weekend day, able to assist overnight coverage, working knowledge of MS Office. Also Preferred Candidates list: previous marine mammal stranding response/research experience, previous necropsy experience, experience caring for or handling animals, experience driving large trucks, experience in photo-ID, flexible daily schedules. Also maybe "Skills" could be the MS Office knowledge, etc. But we can combine. We need to avoid filler sections. So we need to decide which sections have substantive content. We have: - About the role: Could be the program background description. That's substantive. - Responsibilities: The duties list (Stranding hotline coverage, marine mammal stranding response & necropsy, CICU operations, stranding & necropsy readiness, data entry & sample processing, outreach). That's substantive. - Requirements: The mandatory requirements list (age, driver's license, enrollment, ability to follow directions, commit schedule, MS Office). That's substantive. - Qualifications: Could be the preferred candidates? Or we could treat "Preferred Candidates" as Qualifications. That's substantive. - Skills: Could be the MS Office knowledge? But that's already in Requirements. Could also include "Working knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint." That's a skill. Could also include "Experience driving large trucks" etc as skill. But we might combine. - Benefits: As described. - Pay: Unpaid. - Schedule: Session dates, commitment, orientation, holidays, overnight coverage. We need to avoid duplication. Let's extract content. First, About the role: Program Background paragraph: "IFAW is an international non-profit organization. This internship is based out of our International Operations Center in Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts, USA. IFAW’s Marine Mammal Rescue (MMR) program is a federally authorized program dedicated to marine mammal stranding response on Cape Cod and southeastern Massachusetts. Our program strives to promote the conservation of marine mammal species and their habitat by improving the rescue and humane care of stranded marine mammals, advancing stranding science, and increasing public awareness through education. Cape Cod is a marine mammal stranding “hot spot,” with an average of over 315 strandings occurring each year. These strandings include live and dead seals, whales, porpoises, and dolphins. In addition to stranding response, IFAW’s MMR division has developed the Cetacean Intensive Care Unit (CICU) located at the Dolphin Rescue Center in Orleans, MA. CICU is a short-term holding facility (96 hours) that aims to provide rehabilitative care to dolphins and porpoises experiencing acute effects of stranding." That's good. Responsibilities: The list under "Stranding Intern Duties". We need to capture each bullet as

. The duties: - Stranding hotline coverage: answer calls, document reports, educate callers, dispatch volunteers, complete associated paperwork and enter data. - Marine mammal stranding response & necropsy: assist staff with all aspects of marine mammal stranding response, including live animal health assessment and supportive care, biological data collection, post-mortem examinations and sampling in both field and laboratory settings. - CICU operations: assist staff with aspects of CICU operations, including animal care (i.e. in-water support, assist during procedures, monitoring animal behavior etc.), CICU education and outreach, CICU readiness and cleaning, etc. - Please note experiences will be opportunistic as cases arise. We do not have a long-term rehabilitation program or animals on-site regularly. (This is a note, maybe part of responsibilities.) - Stranding & necropsy readiness: cleaning, organizing and maintaining stranding response and necropsy gear, equipment and facilities, restocking kits and supplies. - Data entry & sample processing: assist in entry of stranding data. Assist in organizing, cataloging, disseminating and archiving of photos, videos, datasheets, samples, etc. - Outreach: assist staff with training and outreach material preparation and organization, participate in opportunistic outreach at stranding sites, participate in community events. We should include the note about opportunistic experiences as part of responsibilities maybe as a separate bullet. Also "In addition to the operational duties the stranding interns will hold, they are also paired with staff members as mentors and may be given individual tasks and projects to complete under their mentor’s guidance. All interns will be cross-trained in stranding response and necropsy and every effort will be made for interns to gain a wide range of experiences." That's also responsibilities. We'll include that as bullet. Requirements: The list under "Requirements". Items: - Must be at least 18 years old. - Must possess a valid driver’s license and secure reliable transportation. - Be enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program, have completed an undergraduate or graduate study of biology, zoology, ecology, conservation or related field (preferably within 2 years of graduation), or equivalent experience. - Able to follow written and oral staff directions and protocols effectively and able to work in teams and individually. - Must be able to commit to 3 or 4 days per week, which includes 1 weekend day, for the duration of the internship session. As cases arise, interns may be able to assist with overnight coverage in up to 12-hour shifts when patients are in-house at CICU. - Working knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Also maybe "Must be able to commit to 3 or 4 days per week, which includes 1 weekend day, for the duration of the internship session." Already there. Qualifications (Preferred Candidates): list: - Previous marine mammal stranding response/research experience. - Previous necropsy experience (marine mammal or other taxa). - Experience caring for or handling animals. - Experience driving large trucks. - Experience in photo-ID. - Flexible daily schedules (Stranding events are unpredictable. Our days may start early or end later than scheduled). As cases arise, interns may help provide overnight coverage and care when patients are in-house. We could treat "Flexible daily schedules" as a qualification. Skills: Could be "Working knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint." but that's already in Requirements. Could also include "Experience driving large trucks" as skill. But we might decide not to have a separate Skills section if it duplicates. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Skills into Requirements or Qualifications. But we need to follow headings list: we can include only those sections that have real specific content. If we think Skills is covered elsewhere, we could omit Skills section. However we need to decide if we have enough distinct content for Skills separate from Requirements and Qualifications. The MS Office knowledge is a skill; but it's also a requirement. Could be placed under Requirements. So we can omit Skills. Benefits: Content: - If accepted, we will try to provide interns with resources to help find housing. - Specialized gear such as dry suits, boots and life jackets will be provided. - This position is eligible for workers’ compensation. - Possibly also "Interns may be required to work some holidays." Not a benefit. - Also maybe "Housing and transportation are the responsibility of the intern." That's not a benefit. Thus Benefits section includes those three. Pay: "This internship is unpaid and housing and transportation are the responsibility of the intern." So Pay: Unpaid. Schedule: Content: - Winter/Spring Session 2027 (Mid-January 2027 – End of May 2027) - Complete Applications Due: October 15th, 2026 (but that's application deadline, not schedule; maybe we can include in Schedule? It's about timing but could be considered schedule. However instruction says include section only when posting has real specific content for it. The schedule of internship: Mid-Jan 2027 – End May 2027. Also orientation: mid-January 2027, 3 consecutive days training. Also commitment: 3-4 days per week including 1 weekend day. Also overnight coverage up to 12-hour shifts. Also may be required to work some holidays. Also As cases arise, interns may help provide overnight coverage and care when patients are in-house. Thus Schedule section includes those details. We should not include application deadline in Schedule? Could be considered part of timeline but it's about application. Might be better to omit as it's not internship schedule. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could include Schedule with internship dates, orientation, weekly commitment, overnight, holidays. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

Make sure to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. We must not omit any substantive info. Let's ensure we capture all details from the posting that are
