We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions? The instruction says: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove the "Application Materials Should Include" part? That's application instructions. So we should not include that section. Also remove contact info for questions? That's also application instructions. So we should omit that. Also remove "Work Location" maybe? That's not a standard heading; but we could include under "About the role" or maybe "Schedule"? Actually Work Location is not one of the allowed headings; we could embed in About the role paragraph. Also "Compensation" corresponds to Pay section. So we need a Pay section with salary range. Also "Schedule" maybe not given; we have teaching load: 8 courses across fall and spring, expected to teach on-campus courses in evening after 4:00 pm. Online courses async/sync. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that detail. Benefits: not mentioned. So we should not include Benefits section unless present. Skills: maybe we can include preferred qualifications as Skills? But we have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content accordingly.
We have:
- About the role: could include position overview, mission, program description, teaching load, etc.
- Responsibilities: teaching, advising, mentoring, supervision, attending meetings, programmatic tasks.
- Requirements: maybe required qualifications? Could be "Requirements" heading for required qualifications.
- Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications? Or we could split: Required Qualifications under Requirements, Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications or Skills. But we have both headings available. Let's decide:
- Requirements: Required Qualifications (must have).
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (nice to have).
- Skills: maybe specific skills like proficiency in second language, experience with online platforms, etc. Could be part of Preferred Qualifications; but we can put them under Skills.
But we must not invent headings with filler. If we put Skills, we need actual content. We have preferred qualifications list: LCSW/LICSW with min 2-years post MSW clinical practice and supervision experience; Experience with online platforms for course delivery and assessment; Experience working with and/or teaching about multicultural populations, immigrant populations, or underserved communities; Proficiency in a second language as a bilingual speaker. Those can be considered Skills.
Thus:
- About the role: position overview, program description, teaching load, mission alignment.
- Responsibilities: teaching, advising, mentoring, supervision, attending faculty meetings, completing programmatic tasks, other duties as assigned.
- Requirements: required qualifications (MSW from CSWE accredited, doctorate in SW or related field, minimum 2-years full-time post MSW experience, minimum 3 years of on-campus and/or online teaching in a MSW program).
- Qualifications: maybe we could put "Preferred Qualifications" but heading is Qualifications. We'll put preferred qualifications there.
- Skills: maybe we could list specific skills like LCSW/LICSW, online platforms, multicultural experience, second language proficiency. But those are already in preferred qualifications. Could combine. To avoid duplication, maybe we put preferred qualifications under Qualifications, and Skills could be empty? But we must not emit heading with filler. So we need actual content for Skills. Could extract specific skills from preferred qualifications: LCSW/LICSW certification, online platform experience, multicultural teaching experience, bilingual proficiency. Those are skills.
Thus:
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (list).
- Skills: Specific skills (maybe same list). But that would duplicate. Better to put preferred qualifications under Qualifications, and maybe Skills could be something like "Experience teaching adult learners, confidence and skill teaching and advising adult learners". That's from description. But that's also a requirement? It says "It is critical for the faculty to possess confidence and skill teaching and advising adult learners." That's a skill. So we can put that under Skills.
Thus:
- Skills: confidence and skill teaching and advising adult learners; ability to teach range of courses (list); experience with online platforms; proficiency in second language; LCSW/LICSW; multicultural experience.
But we need to avoid duplication with Qualifications. Could separate: Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications (list of credentials/experience). Skills = abilities (teaching adult learners, confidence, etc.). Let's craft.
Now Pay: salary range $78,000-$90,000.
Schedule: teaching load 8 courses across fall and spring, on-campus courses after 4pm, online async/sync.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, mission statement beyond relevant? The mission statement about Merrimack College is maybe part of About the role? It's about institution; could be included but not boilerplate? It's descriptive of college; maybe we can include brief mention but not the full EEO statement. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove the EEO statement at the end. Also remove "Statement on Our Mission" maybe? That's mission statement of college; not boilerplate but could be considered part of About the role? It's about Merrimack's mission; we could keep a brief summary but not the full statement? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the mission statement content? It's substantive about the college's mission. However, it's also somewhat boilerplate but it's specific to Merrimack. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The mission statement is not EEO. So we can keep it. But we need to avoid duplication. We'll include a paragraph under About the role summarizing mission and college description.
We also need to remove application instructions (cover letter, CV, etc.) and contact info for questions. So we will omit that section.
Also remove "Work Location" maybe we can embed in About the role.
