Microbiologist I or II

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (maybe from Job Summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Skills (maybe from Preferred Qualifications?), Benefits (none), Pay (Compensation), Schedule (Primary work hours and weekend/holiday). Must only include sections where there is real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse content. Job Summary: The Water Microbiology Department within the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene (WSLH) is seeking a Microbiologist I or II. WSLH is part of the UW School of Medicine and Public Health at UW–Madison and serves as the state’s primary public, environmental, and occupational health laboratory. Founded in 1903, WSLH advances public and environmental health while carrying forward the Wisconsin Idea. This position alternates duties weekly between the Water Microbiology Department and the Media Department. As a part of the Water Microbiology department, this position performs routine and specialized analyses on drinking and surface water samples to protect public health and support water quality. Routine testing under the Safe Drinking Water Act and Clean Water Act involves testing samples for total coliforms and E. coli using enzymatic methods, with results logged and reported through a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). Specialized analyses include culture techniques, microscopy, molecular methods, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. In the Media department, the incumbent’s role will be to prepare culture media for various departments throughout the organization, including both our environmental and clinical sections. Both roles require that the employee aseptically handle samples following established procedures, keep accurate records, and perform quality control and assurance procedures to ensure regulatory and accreditation compliance. This position resides within the Environmental Health Division of the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene (WSLH) and is located at 2601 Agriculture Drive, Madison, WI 53718. That's substantive for About the role. Key Job Responsibilities: list with percentages. Should be a list. Responsibilities: we can list each bullet. Required Qualifications: bullet list: Successfully complete color screening test; Be able to lift 20 lbs; Perform weekend and Holiday work on a rotational basis, approximately one Saturday each 4-6 weeks. Weekend schedules are generally flexible and can be adjusted to accommodate personal engagements. Preferred Qualifications: bullet list: Safe laboratory principles and practices; Theory and practice of laboratory QA/QC; Aseptic techniques including sterility checks and sterilization techniques, such as autoclaving; Procedures used to identify bacteria important to environmental and drinking water samples; Computer use for LIMS, Microsoft office applications; Effective communication skills; Ability to maintain accurate and organized records; Exceptional interpersonal, team and customer service skills. Education: separate bullet list for Microbiologist I and II. Could be under Qualifications? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide where to put Education. Could be under Qualifications (maybe as part of Qualifications). Or we could treat Education as part of Qualifications. The instruction says we can have Qualifications section. So we can put both Required and Preferred under Qualifications? But they also have separate Requirements heading. Usually Requirements = Required Qualifications. Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications. Education could be part of Qualifications (maybe separate bullet). We'll include Education under Qualifications as separate bullet list. Skills: maybe we can extract from Preferred Qualifications that are skills: Effective communication skills, Ability to maintain accurate and organized records, Exceptional interpersonal, team and customer service skills, Computer use for LIMS, Microsoft office applications. Could put those under Skills. Benefits: none mentioned, so omit. Pay: Compensation details: Minimum salary below but actual salary is to be determined upon hire and dependent on qualifications: Microbiologist I: UW-Madison Salary Grade 19 - Minimum Salary of 51,000/year Microbiologist II: UW-Madison Salary Grade 20 - Minimum Salary of $57,000/year We need to include Pay section with that info. Schedule: Primary work hours are generally 8:00 A.M. to 4:45 P.M., Monday through Friday but start and end times can be flexible. There will be weekend and possible holiday work on a rotational basis with the weekend/holiday work comprising of approximately 2-3 hours one Saturday every 4-6 weeks. We'll put that under Schedule. We must not include boilerplate like "How to Apply", contact info, Institutional Statement, etc. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the sections we include. We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not. We must not put Job ID etc. We must not include duplicated lines. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. Structure:

About the role

... (the job summary paragraph(s)). Could be multiple paragraphs but we can combine into one

with line breaks? Probably better to keep as one

containing the whole summary. Ensure we keep all details.

Requirements

• Successfully complete color screening test
• Be able to lift 20 lbs
• Perform weekend and Holiday work on a rotational basis, approximately one Saturday each 4-6 weeks. Weekend schedules are generally flexible and can be adjusted to accommodate personal engagements.

Qualifications

Preferred qualifications:

• Safe laboratory principles and practices
• Theory and practice of laboratory QA/QC
• Aseptic techniques including sterility checks and sterilization techniques, such as autoclaving
• Procedures used to identify bacteria important to environmental and drinking water samples
• Computer use for LIMS, Microsoft office applications
• Effective communication skills
• Ability to maintain accurate and organized records
• Exceptional interpersonal, team and customer service skills

Education:

• Microbiologist I: Bachelor’s Degree in Biology, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Environmental Science or related field required. One year of laboratory experience preferred.
• Microbiologist II: Bachelor’s Degree required (advanced degree preferred) in Biology, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Environmental Science or related field. At least three years of laboratory experience or advanced degree with microbiological techniques experience required.

Alternatively we could put Education under Qualifications as separate

but not allowed; only headings listed. So we can include Education as part of Qualifications section using

and

.

Skills

• Effective communication skills
• Ability to maintain accurate and organized records
• Exceptional interpersonal, team and customer service skills
• Computer use for LIMS, Microsoft office applications
But note that some of these overlap with Preferred Qualifications; we might duplicate. Better to keep Skills separate: maybe we can extract skills from Preferred Qualifications that are skills: Effective communication skills, Ability to maintain accurate and organized records, Exceptional interpersonal, team and customer service skills, Computer use for LIMS, Microsoft office applications. That's fine. But we already listed those under Qualifications; duplication may be okay but we should avoid repeating same content? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. It doesn't forbid duplication, but better to avoid redundancy. However we need to include a Skills section only if there is real specific content for it. There is content (skills). We could keep Skills separate and not duplicate the same bullet points under Qualifications; we could move those skill bullets to Skills and keep Qualifications for other preferred qualifications (like safe lab principles, QA/QC, aseptic techniques, procedures to identify bacteria). Let's do that. Thus: Qualifications section: Preferred qualifications (non-skill): Safe laboratory principles and practices; Theory and practice of laboratory QA/QC; Aseptic techniques including sterility checks and sterilization techniques, such as autoclaving; Procedures used to identify bacteria important to environmental and drinking water samples. Education: as above. Skills section: Effective communication skills; Ability to maintain accurate and organized records; Exceptional interpersonal, team and customer service skills; Computer use for LIMS, Microsoft office applications.
