We need to produce HTML fragment with sections only if real specific content. The posting includes: - Position Status: Faculty, Part-time temporary - Location: San Diego - Position Type: Faculty, School of Law - Description: The School of Law seeks broadly trained professionals capable of teaching graduate students in its Juris Doctor and graduate law degree programs. Assignments to these courses are considered adjunct law professors and non-benefit based. Each course consists of 1-4 units of teaching credit and the maximum allowable for each non-benefits based instructor is 6 units per semester. Periodic need during the following terms: Fall (Aug-Dec), Spring (Jan-May), and Summer (Jun-July). Compensation for the academic year 2026-27 (i.e. Fall 2026 through Summer 2027) will be $2,510 per unit. - Department Description (paragraph) - University Description (paragraph) - Advertised date, Applications close: Open until filled (metadata) - Also "Back to search results Apply now Refer a friend Whatsapp Facebook LinkedIn Email App" (boilerplate to remove) We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content. We have no explicit responsibilities list, but we have description of role: teaching graduate students, adjunct law professor, non-benefit based, each course 1-4 units, max 6 units per semester, periodic need terms. Could be responsibilities. Requirements/Qualifications: Not explicitly listed; maybe "broadly trained professionals capable of teaching graduate students". Could be qualifications. Skills: Not listed. Benefits: It says non-benefit based, so no benefits. Should we include Benefits? The rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It states non-benefit based, meaning no benefits. Should we include a Benefits section? Probably not, because it's not stating benefits; it's stating lack of benefits. The rule: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. "non-benefit based" is specific content about benefits (i.e., none). But is that considered "Benefits" section? Could be considered stating that there are no benefits. However the instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state that it's non-benefit based, which is a statement about benefits (lack thereof). I'd argue we should include a Benefits section with that statement. But we need to avoid filler like "not specified". "non-benefit based" is specific. So we can include Benefits section with a

stating that the position is non-benefit based. Pay: Compensation $2,510 per unit. So we include Pay section. Schedule: Terms: Fall (Aug-Dec), Spring (Jan-May), Summer (Jun-July). Also mention periodic need during those terms. So we can include Schedule section. Now About the role: Could be a brief paragraph summarizing role. Responsibilities: Could be list: teach graduate students in JD and graduate law degree programs; assignments considered adjunct law professors; each course 1-4 units; max 6 units per semester; periodic need across terms. Requirements/Qualifications: Could be list: broadly trained professionals capable of teaching graduate students; maybe need JD? Not stated. So we can only include what is stated: "broadly trained professionals capable of teaching graduate students in its Juris Doctor and graduate law degree programs." That's a qualification. Skills: Not specified; we should not create Skills section if no specific content. Thus sections: About the role (maybe paragraph), Responsibilities (ul), Requirements (ul), Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements? But we need to avoid duplication. Could combine? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could merge Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But headings are predefined; we must use those headings if we include them. Could we omit Requirements and keep Qualifications? The posting has qualification statement. Could treat that as Qualifications. Responsibilities separate. About the role maybe intro. Pay, Benefits, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate like "Advertised: September 15, 2026 Pacific Daylight Time Applications close: Open until filled". That's metadata; we could fold into a short p or drop. Probably drop as minor metadata. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:

About the role

The School of Law seeks broadly trained professionals to teach graduate students in its Juris Doctor and graduate law degree programs as adjunct law professors on a part‑time, temporary basis.

Responsibilities

  • Teach graduate‑level courses in the JD and other law degree programs.
  • Serve as an adjunct law professor (non‑benefit based).
  • Each course carries 1‑4 units of teaching credit; instructors may teach up to a maximum of 6 units per semester.
  • Teaching needs arise periodically during the Fall (Aug‑Dec), Spring (Jan‑May), and Summer (Jun‑Jul) terms.

Qualifications

  • Broadly trained professionals capable of teaching graduate students in Juris Doctor and graduate law degree programs.

Pay

Compensation for the 2026‑27 academic year (Fall 2026 through Summer 2027) is $2,510 per unit of teaching credit.

Benefits

This is a non‑benefit based position.

Schedule

Teaching opportunities are available on a periodic basis during the Fall (August‑December), Spring (January‑May), and Summer (June‑July) terms.

Check for any duplicated lines: none. We omitted Department Description and University Description. Are those substantive? They are descriptive paragraphs about the department and university. Should we include them? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include that info somewhere. Where could we put? Could be part of About the role or a separate section like "Department" or "University". But we only have allowed headings list; we cannot create arbitrary headings. However we could incorporate those paragraphs into About the role or maybe a separate

under About the role. The About the role currently is short; we could expand to include department and university description. That would preserve all substantive info. Thus About the role paragraph should include the department description and university description. Let's combine: About the role: The School of Law seeks broadly trained professionals capable of teaching graduate students in its Juris Doctor and graduate law degree programs. Assignments to these courses are considered adjunct law professors and non-benefit based. Each course consists of 1-4 units of teaching credit and the maximum allowable for each non-benefits based instructor is 6 units per semester. Periodic need during the following terms: Fall (Aug-Dec), Spring (Jan-May), and Summer (Jun-July). Compensation for the academic year 2026-27 (i.e. Fall 2026 through Summer 2027) will be $2,510 per unit. Department Description: At the University of San Diego School of Law, we believe in a collegial, creative, and balanced approach to life and law. It encourages us to build authentic, long-lasting relationships, innovate constantly, and grow together as a community. An ABA-accredited law school, the USD School of Law serves as the intellectual resource for advancing San Diego and beyond, with fresh thinkers and policy that can shape society and drive progress. The intersection of industries and entrepreneurialism in San Diego offers endless opportunity in the region and abroad. These factors, combined with an extensive network of supportive alumni, ensure students are prepared for wherever they go next. The University of San Diego School of Law’s programs are designed to prepare students to achieve the highest levels of success in the field of law. Our dynamic curriculum empowers students to explore their academic passions and individual career goals. We offer students who wish to specialize in a particular area of law a wide array of electives and concentrations to choose from that will deepen their knowledge as it relates to their particular focus. Our rigorous approach to teaching provides law students with both strong theoretical grounding and hands-on practical training throughout their studies. University Description: The University of San Diego, an engaged and contemporary Catholic institution, was founded by the Diocese of San Diego and the Society of the Sacred Heart in 1949. Governed by an independent board of trustees since 1972, USD remains committed to a liberal arts education grounded in the Catholic intellectual tradition and the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty. Inspired by this centuries old tradition of Catholic higher education, the University welcomes people of all faith traditions and any, or no, religious background. The future success of USD relies on the contributions of those who seek to foster the development of engaged global citizens and an earnest confrontation of humanity’s urgent challenges. We need to avoid repeating info already in responsibilities etc. But we can include all in About the role as a few paragraphs. Thus About the role could have multiple

elements. Let's craft final HTML:
