MICROBIOLOGIST IV

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. We need to extract relevant info. Let's parse posting: - Position Overview: Applications Accepted from: All Persons Interested Division: Disease Prevention & Control Section: Laboratory Location: 2250 Holcombe Blvd Work days & Hours: M - F, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.* ( *Subject to change) - Description Of Duties/Essential Functions: The Houston Health Department is seeking a qualified candidate for the position of a Microbiologist IV to perform the following duties: The Microbiologist IV position plays a critical role in advancing public health surveillance by leading complex microbiological and molecular based testing, particularly in mycobacterium-based epidemiology. - Job Responsibilities: list bullet points: * Implements protocols to increase capacity for the molecular detection and confirmation of drug-resistant mycobacterium organisms and perform validation. * Performs whole genome sequencing and uploading of sequence data to National Surveillance System for data integration and analysis. * Works with appropriate stakeholders and epidemiology partners to ensure proper communication and reporting of sequence data. * Assures quality control standards are met. * Train staff for sustainability once grant ends. - WORKING CONDITIONS: This position is physically comfortable; the individual has discretion about walking, standing, etc. There are no major sources of discomfort in a normal office environment. - Minimum Requirements: * EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS: Requires a Bachelor's degree in Biology, Bacteriology, Microbiology or a closely related field. * Experience Requirements: Four (4) years of experience in laboratory work dealing with bacteriology, serology or virology are required. * License Requirements: None. - PREFERENCES: Preference shall be given to eligible veteran applicants ...

(we need to drop application instructions per instruction: remove application instructions). So we should not include that. - EOE boilerplate: remove. We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. - About the role: Could be position overview description. We have "Position Overview" and description. So we can put that in About the role. - Responsibilities: we have Job Responsibilities list. - Requirements: Minimum Requirements (education, experience, license). Could be Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe Preferences? Or we could treat Preferences as Qualifications. The instruction says use headings like Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide. - Skills: maybe molecular diagnostic techniques etc. - Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. There's mention of grant fund position, but not benefits like health insurance. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not state benefits, so omit. - Pay: we have Pay Grade 23 and salary information (grant fund position). That is pay info. So we can include Pay section. - Schedule: Work days & Hours: M - F, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.* (subject to change). That's schedule. So include Schedule. We must not include headings with filler text like "commensurate with experience". Not relevant. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like location, division, section, etc. In About the role we can include location, division, section, work days/hours? Actually schedule separate. But we can include location etc in About the role. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Microbiologist IV. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none present). We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So drop the APPLICATION PROCEDURES and EOE. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:

About the role

Division: Disease Prevention & Control; Section: Laboratory; Location: 2250 Holcombe Blvd. The Houston Health Department is seeking a qualified candidate for the position of a Microbiologist IV to perform the following duties: The Microbiologist IV position plays a critical role in advancing public health surveillance by leading complex microbiological and molecular based testing, particularly in mycobacterium-based epidemiology.

But we also have work days & hours in schedule section, so we could keep location etc here. Alternatively we could include work days/hours in About the role but better to put in Schedule. Thus About the role includes division, section, location, and description. Now Responsibilities:

Responsibilities

• Implements protocols to increase capacity for the molecular detection and confirmation of drug-resistant mycobacterium organisms and perform validation.
• Performs whole genome sequencing and uploading of sequence data to National Surveillance System for data integration and analysis.
• Works with appropriate stakeholders and epidemiology partners to ensure proper communication and reporting of sequence data.
• Assures quality control standards are met.
• Train staff for sustainability once grant ends.

Requirements:

Requirements

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Biology, Bacteriology, Microbiology or a closely related field.
• Experience: Four (4) years of experience in laboratory work dealing with bacteriology, serology or virology.
• License: None required.

Qualifications: maybe preferences: veteran preference and molecular diagnostic experience. Could be Qualifications.

Qualifications

• Preference given to eligible veteran applicants who possess the qualifications necessary for competent discharge of the duties.
• Preference given to applicants with experience in molecular diagnostic techniques (sequencing preferred) and a minimum of 2 years of experience working in a molecular laboratory.

Skills: maybe we could list specific skills like molecular detection, whole genome sequencing, quality control, training staff. But we already have responsibilities. Could create Skills section for technical skills: molecular detection, whole genome sequencing, data upload, stakeholder communication, QC, training. However we risk duplication. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Skills into Qualifications or Responsibilities. But we need to decide if we need Skills section. The posting does not explicitly list a "Skills" heading; we could infer skills from responsibilities. But we should not invent detail. However we can list skills that are explicitly mentioned: molecular detection and confirmation, whole genome sequencing, uploading sequence data, quality control, training staff. Those are mentioned in responsibilities. Could we put them under Skills? That would be repeating content. Better to keep them under Responsibilities and not create a separate Skills section unless there is explicit skill list. There's no explicit skill list separate. So we omit Skills section. Pay:

Pay

Pay Grade 23. Salary is determined based on candidate qualifications and pay rates of other employees in this classification. This is a grant‑funded position; continued employment depends on available funding.

Schedule:

Schedule

Work days & Hours: Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (subject to change).

We must not include Benefits section. Check that we didn't include any boilerplate. We omitted application procedures, safety impact position? Actually safety impact position is mentioned: "SAFETY IMPACT POSITION Yes If yes, this position is subject to random drug testing and if a promotional position, candidate must pass an assignment drug test." This is substantive info about safety impact and drug testing. Should we include it? It's not covered by any of the prescribed headings. Could be part of Requirements or Qualifications? It's about safety impact and drug testing. Could be placed under Requirements maybe as a note. But the instruction says we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include that info somewhere. Where to put? Could be under Requirements as an additional bullet: "Safety Impact Position: Yes – subject to random drug testing; promotional candidates must pass an assignment drug test." Or we could create a separate section but headings limited to the list. There's no heading for Safety. So we need to fit it into one of the allowed headings. Perhaps under Requirements (as it's a condition of employment). Or under Qualifications. I'd put under Requirements as an additional bullet. Also we have "Selection/Skills Tests Required Application review and/or interview. However, the Department may administer a skill assessment evaluation." That's also substantive info about selection process. Could be placed under Requirements or Qualifications. Might fit under Requirements as well. Also we have "GRANT FUND POSITION Grants & Special funded positions are dependent upon continued available funds. If funding is no longer available, employee may be laid off or transferred." Already covered in Pay section. Also we have "Pay Grade 23 SALARY INFORMATION". Already in Pay. Also we have "WORKING CONDITIONS This position is physically comfortable; the individual has discretion about walking, standing, etc. There are no major sources of discomfort in a normal office environment." That's substantive. Could be placed under About the role or maybe a separate section but not in headings. Could add to About the role paragraph. Also we have "Description Of Duties/Essential Functions The Houston Health Department is seeking a qualified candidate for the position of a Microbiologist IV to perform the following duties: The Microbiologist IV position plays a critical role in advancing public health surveillance by leading complex microbiological and molecular based testing, particularly in mycobacterium-based epidemiology." Already covered. Also we have "Position Overview Applications Accepted from: All Persons Interested Division: Disease Prevention & Control Section: Laboratory Location: 2250 Holcombe Blvd Work days & Hours: M - F, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.* ( *Subject to change)". We used division, section, location, description. Applications Accepted from: All Persons Interested is not substantive? It's just stating open to all. Could include in About the role. We need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: Let's list all sections from posting: - Position Overview: Applications Accepted from: All Persons Interested; Division: Disease Prevention & Control; Section: Laboratory; Location: 2250 Holcombe Blvd; Work days & Hours: M - F, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.* ( *Subject to change) - Description Of Duties/Essential Functions: (text) - Job Responsibilities: (list) - WORKING CONDITIONS: (text) - Minimum Requirements: EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, Experience Requirements, License Requirements. - PREFERENCES: veteran preference; molecular diagnostic experience. - GENERAL INFORMATION: Selection/Skills Tests Required Application review and/or interview. However, the Department may administer a skill assessment evaluation. - SAFETY IMPACT POSITION: Yes ... random drug testing etc. - Pay Grade 23 - SALARY INFORMATION: GRANT FUND POSITION ... factors used in determining salary. - APPLICATION PROCEDURES: (to drop)
