We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the job posting. Key details: - Title: Microbiologist 2 (but we must not repeat job title as heading). So no heading for title. - About the role: The Opportunity paragraph: "In this role, you will perform accurate and timely testing across multiple microbiological sub-disciplines, including microbiology (bacteriology, mycology), immunodiagnostics/serology, and molecular diagnostics (PCR), supporting client-centric avian health and food safety surveillance and diagnostic testing. You will be responsible for sample processing, assay execution, troubleshooting, laboratory quality assurance/quality control, test reporting, and participation in assay development. Your work will contribute to the delivery of reliable diagnostic services while maintaining high standards of laboratory performance." That's a prose paragraph. Could be under

About the role

with

. - Responsibilities: The Opportunity already includes responsibilities. Could also list responsibilities as bullet list: sample processing, assay execution, troubleshooting, laboratory QA/QC, test reporting, participation in assay development. Also performing testing across sub-disciplines. Might be considered responsibilities. We can create a Responsibilities section with

  • . - Requirements: Required Qualifications: Bachelor's degree with major in microbiology or another lab science with at least 20 semester or 30 quarter credit hours in microbiology AND two years of professional experience in a microbiology lab. Master's can substitute for one year experience. Ph.D. can substitute for two years experience OR Equivalent education/experience. Ability to work Monday through Friday. Ability to work rotating Holidays and weekends as necessary. Ability to work flexible schedule, if necessary. Must not have routine exposure to avian species, including pet birds, or frequent poultry farm visits, due to biosafety regulations/policy/concerns. Physical eligibility required for working in a BSL-2 environment. See link for more info: Biosafety/Biocontainment Plan Guidance: Provision Requirements | Compliance | Federal Select Agent Program. We need to preserve all substantive info. We can list these as bullet list under Requirements. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications: Advanced degree in microbiology or closely related field. Work experience with medical or laboratory database(s). Experience handling biological specimens. Experience in sterile technique. Experience working with zoonotic agents in appropriate biosafety levels. Knowledge of infectious diseases. Demonstrated skills and knowledge in isolation of DNA/RNA from tissue and body fluids/samples and use of PCR in identification of microbial agents. Demonstrated skills and knowledge to perform primary isolation techniques of microorganisms. Experience working with automated lab testing procedures, i.e. ELISA. Work experience in a diagnostic laboratory setting. Experience working with SOPs and/or a Quality System. Familiarity with Veterinary Medicine. We can list as bullet list under Qualifications. - Skills: Not explicitly separate; maybe we can combine with Qualifications? But we can create a Skills section if there is explicit skill list. The posting includes many skill-like items (e.g., ability to work schedule, etc.) but those are more requirements. Could create Skills section for things like "Ability to work Monday through Friday", etc. However those are more requirements. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" section? But they differentiate Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could have two sections: Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Use headings

    Required Qualifications

    and

    Preferred Qualifications

    . That seems appropriate. - Benefits: The posting includes "Benefits: WSU offers a comprehensive benefits package which includes paid sick and vacation leave; paid holidays; medical, dental, life and disability insurance package for employees and dependents; retirement; deferred compensation, optional supplemental retirement accounts; training and development; and employee tuition waiver. For additional information, please review the detailed Summary of Benefits offered by WSU for Classified staff and Total Compensation." Thus we have Benefits section. - Pay: The posting includes "Monthly Salary: $5,111 to $6,870 | Range 54 | Successful candidates are typically hired at the beginning of the salary range and receive scheduled salary increment increases in accordance with WAC 357-28. In accordance with RCW 49.58.110, the above salary reflects the full salary range for this position. Individual placement within the range is based on the candidate’s current experience, education, skills, and abilities related to the position." Thus we have Pay section. Should we include as

    Pay

    with

    containing that info. - Schedule: The posting includes "This is a fulltime (100% FTE), permanent position. This position is overtime eligible." Also ability to work Monday through Friday, rotating holidays and weekends as necessary, flexible schedule if necessary. So schedule info exists. Could create Schedule section with

    containing full-time, overtime eligible, Monday-Friday, rotating holidays/weekends as needed, flexible schedule if necessary. - Additional info: Position Sponsorship Eligibility: Not eligible for work visa sponsorship. Could be included maybe under Requirements or a separate section? Not a standard heading; could be placed under Requirements as a bullet. - Location: WSU-Puyallup, Department WA Animal Disease Diagnostic Lab (WADDL) -- Avian Health & Food Safety Laboratory, College of Veterinary Medicine. Could be included maybe under About the role or a separate section? Not a standard heading; could be included in About the role paragraph? Not present. Could add a short paragraph under About the role? But we must not invent info; we can include location as part of About the role? It's not in the Opportunity paragraph. However we could add a separate section like "Location" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are only those listed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not create other headings. We could fold location into About the role paragraph as extra sentence? That would be adding info not originally in that paragraph but it's still from posting; it's allowed to include all substantive information. We can add a sentence about location in About the role section. That's okay as long as we don't invent. So we can augment About the role with location details. - Also note about background check etc. That's boilerplate? It's about background check requirement. Might be considered boilerplate but it's substantive. However it's about background check, which is typical. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Background check might be considered legal? Not sure. It's a condition of employment. Might be kept? Safer to keep? It's not explicitly listed as boilerplate to remove. It's a condition. Could be included under Requirements? Might be considered a requirement. But it's about background check due to access to children/vulnerable adults etc. Could be included as a bullet under Requirements. - Also note about "Position Sponsorship Eligibility: Not eligible for work visa sponsorship." That's a requirement. - Also note about "Time Type Full time Position Term 12 Month". Already covered. - Also note about "Washington State University encourages all qualified candidates to apply, including members of the military and veterans, and persons with disabilities." That's EEO boilerplate; should remove. - Also note about "WSU employs only U.S. citizens and lawfully authorized non-U.S. citizens." That's also legal/EEO; remove. - Also note about accommodation request etc. That's legal; remove. - Also note about Notice of Non-Discrimination etc. Remove. - Also note about "Application Instructions:" etc. Remove. Thus we keep: About the role (Opportunity + location), Responsibilities (list), Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Skills? Not needed as we have qualifications. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no
