We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse posting.
Key info:
- Position: Tenure-Track Faculty (full time) for Paramedic Studies and Program Director.
- Location: Contra Costa College (San Pablo, CA)
- Salary: Not provided (just "Salary:" line but no value). So we should NOT include Pay section because no specific salary.
- Description of Position: includes many details.
We need sections: About the role (maybe a summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to include only those with real content.
Let's extract:
About the role: Could be description of position: "Tenure-Track Faculty (full time) for Paramedic Studies and Program Director. This assignment begins in January 2027. This is a full-time, tenure track certificated position in the Emergency Medical Education Department at Contra Costa College in San Pablo, CA. The job requires administering the Paramedic program as well as teaching a partial load, part of which may be assigned in the evening and/or weekends. The load distribution will be 60/40 (60% program director duties and 40% teaching duties). Additionally, this individual will be required to maintain regular office hours and participate in college and department governance activities. The position is assigned to the Emergency Medical Education Department (EMED). The teaching assignment for the position will typically include courses such as Emergency Medical Responder and Paramedic Training."
That's substantive.
Responsibilities: The list under "Duties and Responsibilities" includes many bullet-like sentences. We need to put them in

That's substantive.
Responsibilities: The list under "Duties and Responsibilities" includes many bullet-like sentences. We need to put them in - . Should we separate responsibilities from other duties? The posting includes a big block titled "Duties and Responsibilities" with many sentences. We'll treat that as Responsibilities.
Requirements: Minimum Qualification-Education/Experience section includes regulatory requirements. Also there is "Minimum Qualification-Education/Experience:" with details. Also there is "Understanding of and sensitivity to the diverse academic..." etc. Also "Desirable Qualifications:" etc.
Qualifications: Could combine Minimum Qualification and Desirable Qualifications.
Skills: Could extract from Desirable Qualifications: interpersonal skills, leadership qualities, passion for teaching, ability to communicate, etc.
Benefits: Not mentioned. No benefits specifics. So we should not include Benefits.
Pay: Not mentioned. So no Pay.
Schedule: Not explicit schedule besides mention teaching may be evening/weekends, load distribution 60/40, regular office hours. Could we make a Schedule section? The posting does not give specific schedule like "Monday-Friday 8-5". It mentions evening/weekends possible, regular office hours. Might be considered schedule info but it's vague. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state that teaching may be evening/weekends, regular office hours. That's somewhat schedule-related. But is that enough? It's not a specific schedule but mentions possible evening/weekend and office hours. I'd argue it's schedule-related content. However the instruction says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state schedule aspects (evening/weekends, office hours). So we could include a Schedule section with that info.
But we need to avoid filler like "varies". The posting says "part of which may be assigned in the evening and/or weekends" and "maintain regular office hours". That's specific enough.
Thus include Schedule section.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown.
We'll structure:
About the role
...
Responsibilities
- ... each duty as separate li.
Requirements
... maybe combine minimum qualification text.
Qualifications
... desirable qualifications etc.
Skills
- ... interpersonal skills, leadership qualities, passion for teaching, ability to communicate...
Schedule
... teaching may be evening/weekends, regular office hours required.
We must ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Already not.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details verbatim or close.
We need to be careful not to lose any important info.
Let's extract details precisely.
About the role paragraph: combine sentences.
I'll craft:
"The Emergency Medical Technologies Department at Contra Costa Community College is accepting applications for a Tenure-Track Faculty (full time) for Paramedic Studies and Program Director. This assignment begins in January 2027. This is a full-time, tenure track certificated position in the Emergency Medical Education Department at Contra Costa College in San Pablo, CA. The job requires administering the Paramedic program as well as teaching a partial load, part of which may be assigned in the evening and/or weekends.

Additionally, this individual will be required to maintain regular office hours and participate in college and department governance activities. The position is assigned to the Emergency Medical Education Department (EMED). The teaching assignment for the position will typically include courses such as Emergency Medical Responder and Paramedic Training."
That seems to capture all.
Now Responsibilities: need to list each duty as separate li. The block includes many sentences separated by periods. We'll split into sensible items.
List:
- Responsible for the administration, organization and supervision of the educational program.
- Responsible for the continuous quality review and improvement of the educational program.
- Responsible for long-range planning and ongoing development of the program.
- Responsible for the effectiveness of the program and for having systems in place to demonstrate the effectiveness of the program.
- Teach theory content in day and evening times, develop test questions, and maintain item analysis of examinations.
- Cooperatively and constructively work with the medical director, instructors and personnel in clinical agencies, the California EMSA and the NREMT.
- Maintain adequate controls to assure the quality of the delegated responsibilities.

- Guide and evaluate student progress clinically and academically.
- Coordinate and facilitate advanced level NREMT testing.
- Act in a leadership capacity to instructors and coordinators.
- Responsible for meeting deadlines and submitting data for enrollment, census, midterm and final grading.
- Function as a participating member of the College; e.g. committee membership, faculty meeting contribution, Advisory Committee responsibilities etc.

- Develop and maintain satisfactory working relationships with the community and affiliated clinical agencies.
- Evaluate instructor performance in the classroom/lab/clinical settings.
- Supervise clinical coordinator.
- Maintain a safe and effective learning environment and protect the privacy of students and the confidentiality of training records as required.
That seems comprehensive.
Now Requirements: Minimum Qualification-Education/Experience text.
We need to include that block exactly? It's long. We'll paraphrase but keep substance. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Summarizing may be okay if we keep all details? Safer to keep the text as is, maybe as a paragraph.
We'll include the block:
"Minimum Qualification-Education/Experience: (Cited from California Code of Regulations Title 22, Division 9 Prehospital Emergency Medical Services- Section 100150- Teaching Staff requirements).(b) Each training program shall have an approved course director who shall be licensed in California as a physician, a registered nurse who has a baccalaureate degree or a paramedic who has a baccalaureate degree, or shall be an individual who holds a baccalaureate degree in a related health field or in education.

That's huge but we need to keep it.

"Desirable Qualifications: Ideal candidates will possess extraordinary interpersonal skills, leadership qualities, a passion for teaching, and the ability to effectively communicate with students to help them achieve their educational goals. Master's Degree in Allied Health Field Minimum of 3 years teaching or coordinating EMS courses.

We could put that as a paragraph.
Skills: extract interpersonal skills, leadership qualities, passion for teaching, ability to effectively communicate, etc. Could list as bullet list.
