As one of the nation’s top schools of social work, Boston University School of Social Work (BUSSW) is dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in education, research, and evidence-based and anti-oppressive practice to solve the most pressing societal problems of the 21st century. We are particularly committed to having an impact in all aspects of health, for individuals, groups, families, and society as a whole—as evidenced by the dual degree we offer with BU’s School of Public Health, and by our three research centers (Center for Innovation in Social Work and Health (CISWH), Center for Aging and Disability Education and Research (CADER), and The Institute for Equity in Child Opportunity and Healthy Development (IECOHD)). Since its founding in 1839, Boston University has embraced a mission of openness and access, becoming one of the first universities in the nation to welcome all students of ability regardless of race, gender, or creed. That tradition shapes our enduring commitment to academic freedom, free inquiry, and the robust exchange of ideas. Please visit https://www.bu.edu/values/ to learn more about our shared values.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled. We are an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, natural or protective hairstyle, religion, sex, age, national origin, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, military service, pregnancy or pregnancy-related condition, or because of marital, parental, or veteran status. We are a VEVRAA Federal Contractor. We need to remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate and application instructions. So we must drop the "To Apply ..." section and the EEO statement. Also drop the "Please visit https://www.bu.edu/values/ to learn more about our shared values." maybe not boilerplate? It's about values; could be considered substantive? It's about mission/values; maybe keep as part of About the role? It's not strictly required but it's info about BU values. Might be considered substantive. However the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The values link is not EEO; it's about shared values. Could keep. We need to preserve all substantive information: location, posting date, salary range, position type, number of positions, rank, department, start date, commitment, mission, research centers, history, values, etc. We need to structure into sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content for About the role: description of position, department, start date, commitment, mission, research centers, history, values. Responsibilities: Not explicitly listed; maybe teaching, scholarship, service? The posting mentions teaching, scholarship, engaged teaching, participation in intellectual life. Could be considered responsibilities. But we need to see if there is explicit responsibilities section. The posting says: "We seek scholars who will contribute to our community of teachers and researchers through excellence in innovative scholarship, engaged teaching, and participation in the intellectual life of the University." That could be responsibilities. Also "Boston University provides an environment where faculty and students work together across disciplines, perspectives, and experiences to advance knowledge and address society’s most pressing challenges." That's more about environment. We could create a Responsibilities section with bullet points: innovative scholarship, engaged teaching, participation in intellectual life, advancing knowledge, addressing societal challenges. However we must not invent or summarize away detail; we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we create bullet points that are not directly in the text, we might be summarizing. But we can extract phrases directly: "excellence in innovative scholarship", "engaged teaching", "participation in the intellectual life of the University", "advance knowledge and address society’s most pressing challenges". Those are direct quotes. So we can put them as list items. Requirements: The posting has "Required Skills Requirements:" then list: Candidates should have: An MSW degree with licensure Evidence of excellent teaching and/or training skills in areas relevant to clinical practice Preferred PhD in social work or equivalent graduate degree Expertise in children, youth, and families Experience teaching high-enrollment core clinical courses across modalities Experience in anti-oppressive clinical assessment & interventions aligned with current student demand We need to separate Requirements vs Qualifications vs Skills. The instruction says use headings for those sections if there is real specific content. We have content that could be split: Requirements (maybe mandatory), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (specific abilities). But we need to decide based on posting. The posting says "Required Skills Requirements:" then list includes both required and preferred items. It lumps them. We could treat the whole list as Requirements. Or we could split: Required: MSW degree with licensure, Evidence of excellent teaching and/or training skills in areas relevant to clinical practice. Preferred: PhD in social work or equivalent graduate degree, Expertise in children, youth, and families, Experience teaching high-enrollment core clinical courses across modalities, Experience in anti-oppressive clinical assessment & interventions aligned with current student demand. But we must not invent sections if not clearly delineated. The posting does not explicitly label "Required" vs "Preferred" except the phrase "Preferred PhD". So we could still split based on that. We also have Skills section maybe separate from Requirements? The heading "Required Skills Requirements:" suggests it's skills. But we can treat that as Skills. We need to avoid thin sections. Let's think: We have Pay info: salary range $95k-$105k, plus statement about salary determination. That's substantive for Pay section. Schedule: Position Type Full-Time/Regular. That's schedule info (full-time). So we can have Schedule section with Full-Time/Regular. Benefits: Not mentioned. So we should not include Benefits section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe split into Required and Preferred?), Qualifications (maybe we can combine with Requirements?), Skills, Pay, Schedule. But we must not create sections with filler. Let's decide to have: - About the role (paragraph(s) describing position, department, start date, mission, research centers, history, values) - Responsibilities (list of duties: innovative scholarship, engaged teaching, participation in intellectual life, advance knowledge, address societal challenges) - Requirements (list: MSW degree with licensure, Evidence of excellent teaching and/or training skills in areas relevant to clinical practice) - Qualifications (list: Preferred PhD in social work or equivalent graduate degree, Expertise in children, youth, and families, Experience teaching high-enrollment core clinical courses across modalities, Experience in anti-oppressive clinical assessment & interventions aligned with current student demand) - Skills (maybe we could merge with Requirements? But we already used Requirements for mandatory, Qualifications for preferred. Skills could be something like "Evidence of excellent teaching and/or training skills" but that's already in Requirements. Might be redundant. Perhaps we treat the list under "Required Skills Requirements:" as Skills, and not split Required vs Preferred. Then we have only Skills section. But we also have Pay and Schedule. We need to follow instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So they expect those headings. We can use them if we have content. We need to avoid thin sections. Let's see if we have content for each: - About the role: yes. - Responsibilities: we have some statements. - Requirements: we have mandatory items. - Qualifications: we have preferred items. - Skills: maybe we could treat the "Evidence of excellent teaching and/or training skills" as skill, but it's already in Requirements. Could also include "Expertise in children, youth, and families" as skill, but that's in Qualifications. Might be overlapping. Perhaps better to not have Skills section if content duplicates. But we could still have Skills section with items like "Evidence of excellent teaching and/or training skills", "Expertise in children, youth, and families", "Experience teaching high-enrollment core clinical courses across modalities", "Experience in anti-oppressive clinical assessment & interventions". However those are already in Requirements/Qualifications. Duplicating might be okay but could be considered redundant. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; not to invent or summarize away detail. Duplicating is not inventing, but it's repeating. Might be okay but could be seen as filler? Not sure. Better to follow typical job posting structure: Requirements (mandatory), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (specific abilities). We can assign: - Requirements: MSW degree with licensure. - Qualifications: Evidence of excellent teaching and/or training skills in areas relevant to clinical practice; Preferred PhD in social work or equivalent graduate degree; Expertise in children, youth, and families; Experience teaching high-enrollment core clinical courses across modalities; Experience in anti-oppressive clinical assessment & interventions aligned with current student demand. - Skills: maybe we could list "Teaching", "Scholarship", "Clinical practice", "Anti-oppressive practice". But those are not explicit. Given the ambiguity, I think we can combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section called "Requirements" and list both mandatory and preferred items, marking preferred with "(Preferred)". That would avoid thin sections. Then we can omit Qualifications and Skills sections. But the instruction says we can include sections only when posting has real, specific content for it. If we combine, we still have
