Open-Rank Professor in Business Analytics and Information Systems

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. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the posting. Key info: - Position: open-rank tenure-track faculty position in Business Analytics & Information Systems, Fall 2027 start date. - Salary: competitive (but we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "Salary is competitive." That's vague but it's a statement about pay. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state salary is competitive, which is a statement about pay. However "competitive" is vague but it's still a statement. Should we include Pay section? The instruction says: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Salary is competitive." That's not filler? It's somewhat generic but it's a statement. I'd consider it actual content, albeit vague. We could include a Pay section with that sentence. - Benefits: The posting includes a Benefits paragraph: "Benefits Penn State provides a competitive benefits package for full-time employees designed to support both personal and professional wellbeing. In addition to comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, employees enjoy robust retirement plans. One of the standout benefits is the generous 75% tuition discount, available to employees as well as eligible spouses and children. For more detailed information, please visit our Benefits Page." That's specific content, so include Benefits section. - Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So omit Schedule. - About the role: Could be a paragraph summarizing the position. The posting includes "POSITION SPECIFICS ..." which is about the role. We can put that under About the role. - Responsibilities: The posting mentions duties: "Faculty members are expected to maintain an active research program, perform undergraduate and graduate teaching, supervise graduate students, and engage in service activities." Also "The SCIS Department comprises a vibrant, research-active faculty with research and teaching interests in information systems that include artificial intelligence, digital platforms, business analytics and blockchain." Also "We seek outstanding candidates with expertise in information systems, with a desired emphasis on artificial intelligence, that would complement the faculty with high-quality research and teaching in student-centered and collaborative learning environments." Also mention degree programs etc. Could be responsibilities. - Requirements: PhD degree in supply chain management or related field by appointment start date. Those in final stages considered for Assistant Professor. For Associate/Full Professor: demonstrated record of high-quality research and teaching commensurate with rank, sufficient number of publications in high-quality journals, demonstrated significant impact. Also commitment to research and teaching excellence. - Qualifications: Could overlap with requirements. Might combine. But we need to follow headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can decide which sections have content. - Skills: Could be expertise in information systems, emphasis on AI, research, teaching, etc. Might be covered elsewhere. Could create Skills section with list: expertise in information systems, emphasis on artificial intelligence, research, teaching, etc. - Pay: Salary is competitive. - Benefits: as above. We must not include boilerplate like application instructions, EEO, background checks, etc. Remove those. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details about start date, rank, department, college, research centers, etc. Let's extract substantive content: - Department: Supply Chain & Information Systems (SCIS) Department of the Smeal College of Business at Penn State (University Park, PA). - Position: open-rank tenure-track faculty position in Business Analytics & Information Systems. - Start date: Fall 2027. - Salary: competitive. - PhD required in supply chain management or related field by appointment start date; final-stage PhD candidates considered for Assistant Professor. - Associate/Full Professor candidates: demonstrated record of high-quality research and teaching commensurate with rank, sufficient number of publications in high-quality journals, demonstrated significant impact. - Commitment to research and teaching excellence expected. - Faculty duties: maintain active research program, perform undergraduate and graduate teaching, supervise graduate students, engage in service activities. - Department research interests: information systems including artificial intelligence, digital platforms, business analytics, blockchain. - Department offers degree programs: supply chain management, business analytics & information systems, AI and business transformation. - Desired emphasis: expertise in information systems with emphasis on AI to complement faculty. - Department environment: vibrant, research-active faculty; strong connections with business community via research centers; collaborative learning environments. - College offers collegial working environment, excellent campus facilities. - Center for Supply Chain Research® (link). - SCIS Department link. - Review of applications begins Oct 1, 2026, continues until filled. - Contact: Autumn Hanley at adh5253@psu.edu. - Application materials: cover letter, statement of research and teaching, CV, three references. - Benefits: competitive benefits package, medical/dental/vision, retirement plans, 75% tuition discount for employees and eligible spouses/children. - (We should exclude background check, EEO, etc.) We need to format as HTML with headings

for each section. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to decide which info goes where. About the role: maybe a paragraph summarizing the position: open-rank tenure-track faculty position in Business Analytics & Information Systems, Fall 2027 start, department, college, etc. Responsibilities: list of duties: maintain active research program, teach undergraduate/graduate, supervise grad students, service activities. Requirements: PhD in supply chain management or related field by start date; final-stage PhD considered for Assistant Professor; for Associate/Full: demonstrated record of high-quality research and teaching commensurate with rank, sufficient publications in high-quality journals, demonstrated significant impact; commitment to research and teaching excellence. Qualifications: maybe overlap but could include expertise in information systems, emphasis on AI, research and teaching excellence, ability to contribute to student-centered collaborative learning, etc. Could also include desired emphasis on AI. Skills: maybe list: expertise in information systems, emphasis on artificial intelligence, research, teaching, etc. But we might combine Qualifications and Skills. However we need to follow instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Qualifications and Skills into one? But headings are predefined; we can omit sections if no real content. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Qualifications if we have distinct content not covered elsewhere. Let's see. We have requirements (PhD, etc). Qualifications could be about expertise in information systems, emphasis on AI, research and teaching, etc. That's somewhat separate from requirements (which are about degree and record). So we could have Qualifications section. Skills could be about specific technical skills: AI, digital platforms, business analytics, blockchain, etc. That could be separate. But we must avoid thin sections. Let's see if we have enough for each. - About the role: paragraph. - Responsibilities: list (maybe 4 items). - Requirements: list (PhD, final-stage, associate/full criteria, commitment). - Qualifications: list (expertise in information systems, emphasis on AI, ability to contribute to student-centered collaborative learning, research-active, etc.) - Skills: list (AI, digital platforms, business analytics, blockchain, etc.) - Benefits: list (medical/dental/vision, retirement plans, 75% tuition discount) - Pay: paragraph (salary competitive) Schedule: none -> omit. We must not repeat job title as heading. Good. We must not include boilerplate like application instructions, EEO, background checks, etc. So we exclude those lines. We need to preserve all substantive info: we must include mention of start date, department, college, research centers, links? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Should we include the URLs? They are substantive. Probably yes. But we need to decide format: we can include them as plain text within

  . Not as headings. We also need to include review date and contact info. That's substantive. Where to put? Could be in About the role or a separate section like "Application Process" but we are told to remove application instructions. However review date and contact info are not application instructions per se; they are part of posting. We should keep them. Where to place? Could be in About the role paragraph or a separate "Details" section but we don't have a heading for that. Could add to About the role. We must not include "For more information, please visit www.smeal.psu.edu/research-centers." That's substantive. We must not include "For further information, please contact Autumn Hanley at adh5253@psu.edu." That's substantive. We must not include "Applications should be submitted directly on the Penn State site and include a cover letter, a statement of research and teaching, and a CV. Contact information for three references also should be provided." That's application instructions; we should remove per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we remove that line. We must not include "BACKGROUND CHECKS/CLEARANCES Employment with the University will require successful completion of background check(s) in accordance with University policies." That's boilerplate/legal; remove. We must not include "CAMPUS SECURITY CRIME STATISTICS..." etc. Remove. We must not include "EEO IS THE LAW..." Remove. We must not include "Federal Contractors Labor Law Poster..." etc. Remove. Thus we keep only the substantive parts: position specifics, salary, PhD requirement, expectations, department description, benefits, review date, contact info. Now we need to output HTML fragment. Let's craft sections. About the role (
