Non-Tenure Track Assistant Professor - Modern Languages and Literature - Spanish

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule only if content present. We need to extract substantive info from posting. Let's parse: - Department of Modern Languages and Literatures invites applications for one full-time, non-tenure track Assistant Professor in Spanish. This renewable one-year position will begin January 2027. Candidates will teach undergraduate courses (4-4 course load) based upon experience and departmental needs. A Ph.D. in Spanish or relevant field is preferred. Specializations are open. Evidence of excellent college level teaching is preferred. Preferences will also be given to candidates who have an interest in community engagement and service learning. Ability to foster student learning, development, and decision making in support of their goals, success, wellness, and needs. Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to develop rapport quickly and effectively with a diversity of populations. Empathy and compassion for the experiences of others. - Application instructions: submit through Interfolio: Cover Letter, Curriculum Vitae, One-page Statement of teaching philosophy. Review of applications begins on October 22, 2026, and it will continue until the position is filled. For further information, please visit our department website. If you have any questions or issues submitting your application or materials, please do not hesitate to contact Human Resources at HR@creighton.edu. If a candidate is called for an interview, they will be required to provide: A one-page statement describing the candidate’s potential contributions to Creighton’s mission (duplicate line). Original academic transcripts from all institutions of higher education attended (photocopies acceptable during initial application process). Three letters of recommendation, at least two of which should speak to the candidate’s teaching ability. Interviews will be conducted via zoom in the late Fall of 2026. - About Creighton: description of mission, location, rankings, etc. - EEO statement. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Wait: The instruction says "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we must remove application instructions (like submit through Interfolio, cover letter, CV, statement of teaching philosophy, review dates, contact HR, etc.) Also remove duplicated lines (like the mission statement line appears twice). Also remove EEO statement. Also remove About Creighton? Not sure: The instruction says remove boilerplate, but "About Creighton" is descriptive about the institution; might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO/legal, but could be considered generic marketing. However, the instruction says "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." It does not explicitly say to remove "About Creighton". But "About Creighton" is not a legal boilerplate; it's descriptive. However, we might consider it as part of the job posting but not essential? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep substantive info about the role, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay, schedule. The "About Creighton" might be considered substantive? It's about the institution, not the role. Might be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed. However, many similar tasks treat "About the institution" as not needed for the job posting fragment; but the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "About Creighton" is substantive info about the employer. But the instruction also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could include an "About the institution" section? Not among allowed headings. Allowed headings are: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we must fit info into those headings. "About Creighton" could go under "About the role"? Possibly not. But we could incorporate relevant details into "About the role" as a brief description of the department/institution. However, the instruction says do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can have a short paragraph about the department/institution under "About the role". That seems acceptable. Now we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - About the role: description of position: full-time, non-tenure track Assistant Professor in Spanish, renewable one-year, start Jan 2027, teach undergraduate courses (4-4 load) based on experience and departmental needs, specializations open, interest in community engagement and service learning, ability to foster student learning, etc., strong interpersonal skills, empathy, compassion. Also mention Creighton's Jesuit tradition? Could be included. - Responsibilities: teaching undergraduate courses (4-4 course load), possibly also service learning, community engagement, fostering student learning, etc. Could list. - Requirements: Ph.D. in Spanish or relevant field preferred. Evidence of excellent college level teaching preferred. Ability to foster student learning, development, decision making. Strong interpersonal skills. Empathy and compassion. Interest in community engagement and service learning. Also maybe ability to teach undergraduate courses. - Qualifications: similar to requirements? Might overlap. But we need to avoid duplication. Could combine. - Skills: strong interpersonal skills, ability to develop rapport quickly with diverse populations, empathy, compassion, fostering student learning, etc. - Benefits: Not mentioned. No info about benefits, pay, schedule. So we should NOT create Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections unless posting actually states them. It does not state benefits, pay, schedule. So we omit those sections. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Possibly also "About the role" includes start date, contract type. We must not include application instructions, EEO, duplicated lines, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information: we must not lose any detail from the posting that is not boilerplate. Let's list all substantive info: - Department of Modern Languages and Literatures invites applications for one full-time, non-tenure track Assistant Professor in Spanish. - Renewable one-year position. - Begins January 2027. - Candidates will teach undergraduate courses (4-4 course load) based upon experience and departmental needs. - A Ph.D. in Spanish or relevant field is preferred. - Specializations are open. - Evidence of excellent college level teaching is preferred. - Preferences will also be given to candidates who have an interest in community engagement and service learning. - Ability to foster student learning, development, and decision making in support of their goals, success, wellness, and needs. - Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to develop rapport quickly and effectively with a diversity of populations. - Empathy and compassion for the experiences of others. - (Maybe also mention Creighton's Jesuit tradition, location, rankings? That's about institution; could be included in About the role.) - Review of applications begins on October 22, 2026, and it will continue until the position is filled. (This is application instruction/timeline; we must remove application instructions per rule. So we drop that.) - Contact HR@creighton.edu (application instruction) - drop. - If a candidate is called for an interview, they will be required to provide: A one-page statement describing the candidate’s potential contributions to Creighton’s mission (duplicate). Original academic transcripts from all institutions of higher education attended (photocopies acceptable during initial application process). Three letters of recommendation, at least two of which should speak to the candidate’s teaching ability. Interviews will be conducted via zoom in the late Fall of 2026. (These are application instructions; we must drop them.) - About Creighton description: mission, Jesuit tradition, location, rankings, etc. This is not application instruction; it's about employer. Should we keep? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that info. But we need to fit it into allowed headings. Could put under "About the role" as a paragraph about the institution. Thus we need to include: - About Creighton: Jesuit tradition, 475-year-old, commitment to social justice, innovation, pursuit of new knowledge, Catholic and Jesuit values, Omaha diverse community 850k, four Fortune-500 companies, active sports scene, vibrant arts community, Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education rankings: top 20% institutions, Top 10 big-city colleges in Midwest, U.S. News & World Report top third National Universities, previously No. 1 Best Regional Universities – Midwest for 16 years, Goldwater-producing Catholic university No. 1 over past 17 years, top 20 private universities producing Goldwater Scholars over past decade. All that is substantive about employer. We must not include duplicated lines: the mission statement line appears twice; we keep only once. Now we need to format HTML. We'll produce something like:
