We need to output HTML fragment only, with sections for headings where there is real content. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Preserve all substantive info. We need to decide which sections have real content. From posting: - Position Summary: description of role, field, etc. Could be "About the role". So we can have

About the role

with paragraph(s) summarizing. - Responsibilities: explicit list. Use

Responsibilities

with
  • items. - Areas of particular interest: could be part of responsibilities or maybe "Requirements"? Might be considered "Areas of particular interest" but not a standard heading. Could embed in responsibilities or maybe "Qualifications". Probably better to include under Responsibilities as bullet list? Actually they are "Areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to:" then list. Could be part of Responsibilities or maybe "Research interests". Since we only have allowed headings, we could put them under Responsibilities as bullet list, or under Qualifications? I'd put them under Responsibilities as they describe expected research areas. - Minimum Qualifications: PhD etc. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. We have both Requirements and Qualifications headings allowed. Which to use? Usually Requirements = minimum qualifications, Qualifications = preferred/additional. We have "Minimum Qualifications" section. Also "Basic Qualifications" repeated. Also "Additional Qualifications Salary and Rank Commensurate with experience" (which is vague). We should not create Pay section unless actual salary stated. It says "Salary and Rank Commensurate with experience" - that's placeholder, not specific. So we should NOT create Pay section because it's not specific. Similarly Benefits, Schedule not stated. So we omit those. - Application Procedures: includes cover letter, CV, etc. That's application instructions, which we must remove per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should drop the Application Procedures section entirely. - Department Contact for Questions: contact info. That's also application instructions? It's contact for questions; might be considered part of application instructions. Probably remove as it's contact info for queries. The instruction says remove application instructions; contact for questions is part of that. So drop. - Before a conditional offer... misconduct disclosure: that's legal/boilerplate; remove. - Indiana University is an equal opportunity employer... remove. - About Indiana University Bloomington: descriptive boilerplate about university; could be considered "About the role"? Actually it's about the institution, not the role. Might be considered boilerplate; but it's substantive info about the university. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not exactly those categories; it's about the university. Might be considered part of "About the role"? Could keep as part of About the role? However the instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep descriptive info about IU Bloomington and Luddy School as it's substantive. But we need to fit into allowed headings. Could put under "About the role" a paragraph that includes the summary plus the university description. Or we could create a separate heading like "About Indiana University Bloomington" but not allowed. So we incorporate into About the role. - Luddy School description: also substantive; incorporate. - Location: Bloomington, Indiana. Could be part of About the role. - Appointment status: Tenure/Tenure-Track, 10-month appointment start date Aug 1 2027 negotiable, full consideration date Nov 14 2026, applications accepted until filled. This is substantive info about appointment. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate heading like "Appointment Details". Not allowed. Could embed in About the role. - Expected Start Date: 08/01/2027 (negotiable). Full consideration date: 11/14/2026. Posting number etc. Should we keep? The instruction says do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph with metadata like "Appointment: 10‑month tenure‑track/tenured position, start date August 1, 2027 (negotiable). Full consideration date: November 14, 2026." That's okay. - "Special Instructions For Best Consideration Date 11/15/2026 Expected Start Date 08/01/2027 Posting Number IU-101692-2026" This is duplicate; we can incorporate. - "Additional Qualifications Salary and Rank Commensurate with experience" - we should not create Pay section; we can note that salary is commensurate with experience in a short paragraph maybe under About the role or Requirements? But we should not create a Pay heading. Could add a sentence: "Salary and rank are commensurate with experience." - "Basic Qualifications Minimum Qualifications: Applicants should possess a PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field and be committed to excellence in scholarship and teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels." This is duplicate of Minimum Qualifications. Thus sections: - About the role: includes position summary, location, appointment details, university and school description, salary note. - Responsibilities: list of duties (research, teaching, service) plus areas of particular interest. - Requirements / Qualifications: we need to decide which heading to use for minimum qualifications. Could use "Requirements" for minimum qualifications, and "Qualifications" for additional/preferred qualifications (like industry background). But we have only minimal extra: "Candidates with industry backgrounds, particularly at the intersection of AI and the life sciences, are highly encouraged to apply." That's a preference. Could put under Qualifications. Thus:

    Requirements

    PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field; commitment to excellence in scholarship and teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels.

    Qualifications

    For tenured candidates: record of scholarly achievement appropriate for tenure, including extramurally funded research as corresponding PI, current funding or strong potential to secure external funding, established record of publications, experience leading sizeable research initiatives. Industry background at AI-life sciences intersection highly encouraged.

    We could also include "Areas of particular interest" as part of Responsibilities or maybe as a separate heading "Research Interests" not allowed. So embed in Responsibilities. Thus Responsibilities bullet list: - Develop and/or maintain a robust research portfolio, pursue and obtain major extramural research funding, conduct cutting‑edge research as corresponding PI and collaborator. - Teach and mentor undergraduate and/or graduate students as designated by department chair. - Provide service within department, school, university; engage with profession and community. - Research areas of particular interest: AI for Genomics and Systems Biology; AI for Clinical Diagnosis and Personalized Medicine; AI for Structural Biology and Drug Discovery; Agentic AI for Life Sciences Research and Discovery; Lab Automation and Bio‑Instrumentation. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive info: also mention that the position is tenured/tenure-track, assistant/associate/full professor rank, member of Computer Science or Intelligent Systems Engineering Department. That's in About the role. Also mention that the position seeks to bridge biomolecular data with clinical insights, etc. That's in About the role. Also mention that the Luddy School has strengths etc. Already included. Also mention that the position is located on IU Bloomington campus, expected to work on campus. Also mention that Indiana University bases tenure/promotion on research, teaching, service. That's part of Responsibilities maybe. Also mention that all individuals hired through this initiative are expected to excel in research and demonstrate strong performance in teaching and service. That's also Responsibilities. Now we need to remove duplicated lines: we have repeated Minimum Qualifications etc. We'll keep only once. Now produce HTML fragment:
