Online Assistant Professor (Lecturer) in the College of Social Work
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications). They said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section maybe "Requirements". Or we could have "Qualifications". They gave examples; we can choose either. Probably "Qualifications" is appropriate for required/preferred qualifications. "Requirements" could be for duties? But they have Responsibilities separate. So we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications. Possibly also "Benefits" if any mentioned? Not really; they mention renewable contract, telework, but not explicit benefits like health insurance etc. So we should not create Benefits unless stated. Pay/Schedule not stated. So we omit those. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip the EEO statements, the "To apply, visit..." link, the copyright, etc. Also remove metadata like Department, City, Track, Close Date, Requisition Number. Those are minor metadata; we can fold into a short
or drop it. Probably drop them. We need to keep substantive info: position description, responsibilities, qualifications, college/university environment description. We need to format as HTML fragment: use
for headings, - for lists,
for prose.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So we don't put "Assistant Professor (Lecturer)" as heading.
We'll produce something like:

The city is noted for its light rail system, foodie culture, downtown renewal, and welcoming of immigrant and refugee backgrounds. In 2024, U.S. News & World Report ranked Utah top in its Best States rankings and Salt Lake City among the Best Places to Live. Utah is home to eight federally recognized Native American Tribes, acknowledged in the University's Indigenous Land Acknowledgment. The College of Social Work, established in 1937, is the only institution in the Intermountain West offering BSW, MSW, and Ph.D. degrees in social work; the BSW and MSW programs are campus‑ and online‑based, while the Ph.D. program is campus‑ and distance‑based.
