We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, legal, application instructions? Actually we must remove application instructions? The instruction says: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we must remove application instructions (How To Apply). Also remove EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Keep substantive info: description of part-time pool, availability, area, positions, teaching assignments, salary ranges, minimum qualifications, preferred qualifications, special conditions (background check, mandated reporter, smoke-free, out-of-state policy). Also note about appointments being temporary, short notice. Also note about class availability, scheduling, budget, enrollments. Also note about education initial rank and salary based on experience. Also note about most new lecturers hired at Lecturer A or B. Also note about salary ranges as of July 2026. Also note about CSU policies requiring residence in California. Also note about background check, mandated reporter, smoke-free, out-of-state employment policy. We need to decide sections: Could have About the role (description), Responsibilities (teaching assignments list), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (maybe not explicit), Benefits (maybe not explicit), Pay (salary ranges), Schedule (maybe not explicit but we have info about temporary, short notice, Fall/Spring semesters, availability). Could include Schedule section with info about term dates, availability on short notice, etc. We must not create sections with placeholder text. So only include sections where we have real content. Let's extract content: - About the role: description of part-time pool, temporary appointments, made just prior to start of academic term, applicants must be available on very short notice. Area: Industrial Technology, Packaging, and Entrepreneurship area in Orfalea College of Business at Cal Poly (Solano Campus). Seeking applications for pool of part-time lecturers and lab instructors during Fall and/or Spring semesters of 2026-27 academic year, which begins August 17, 2026. Positions available as determined by need and funding for teaching assignments in list of topics. - Responsibilities: teaching assignments in industrial automation and manufacturing technologies (CAD/CAM, basic PLC and robot programming, setup/operation of CNC mills and lathes), industrial power systems, industrial safety and quality program leadership, product design and development (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, ArtiosCAD, KeyShot, Rhinoceros, prototyping, sketching, rendering), supply chain management and logistics, operations planning and control, lean six sigma, commercialization of new technologies, professional technical selling. Also assignments contingent upon class availability, scheduling, budget and enrollments. - Requirements (Minimum Qualifications): Bachelor's degree in Industrial Technology, Design, Engineering, or related discipline. Demonstrated currency in the professional field through ongoing work, training, or engagement with industry trends. Substantial and relevant industry experience, showing depth of knowledge and practical application in the field. - Qualifications (Preferred): M.S., MBA, or Ph.D. degree in Technology, Engineering or related discipline. Any exception to this qualification for any reason may occur with the consent of the area’s tenured and probationary faculty. - Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we could infer from responsibilities but better not to create a Skills section without explicit content. - Benefits: Not explicitly listed; maybe smoke & tobacco-free campus, but that's more of a policy. Not a benefit like health insurance. Could we include a Benefits section? The posting mentions "For health and well-being, Cal Poly is a smoke & tobacco-free campus." That's not a benefit per se. Probably better not to create Benefits section unless explicit benefits like health, retirement, etc. Not present. - Pay: Salary ranges for Lecturer A-D as of July 2026. Also note that initial rank and salary based on professional experience and educational background; most new lecturers hired at Lecturer A or B. So we have pay info. - Schedule: Info about appointments being temporary, made just prior to start of academic term, applicants must be available on very short notice. Also positions for Fall and/or Spring semesters of 2026-27 academic year, which begins August 17, 2026. Also assignments contingent upon class availability, scheduling, budget and enrollments. Also note about CSU policy requiring residence in California. Could be schedule. We also have special conditions: background check, mandated reporter, smoke-free campus, out-of-state employment policy. Could be placed under a section like "Conditions" but not in allowed headings. Could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities? Probably better to add a section "Requirements" for minimum qualifications, "Qualifications" for preferred, and maybe "Additional Information" but not allowed headings. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must stick to those. So we need to map content to those headings. We can put background check etc. under About the role or Responsibilities? Might be okay to add a short paragraph under About the role covering special conditions. Or we could add a separate section "Requirements" for minimum qualifications, "Qualifications" for preferred, "Pay" for salary, "Schedule" for timing/availability, "Responsibilities" for teaching assignments, "About the role" for general description. We must not include sections with filler. So we will include:

About the role

... description including temporary nature, short notice, area, term start date, positions as needed, background check, mandated reporter, smoke-free campus, out-of-state policy, residence requirement.

Responsibilities

  • ... list of teaching assignments topics
Also mention assignments contingent upon class availability, scheduling, budget and enrollments.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Industrial Technology, Design, Engineering, or related discipline.
  • Demonstrated currency in the professional field through ongoing work, training, or engagement with industry trends.
  • Substantial and relevant industry experience, showing depth of knowledge and practical application in the field.

Qualifications

  • M.S., MBA, or Ph.D. degree in Technology, Engineering or related discipline.
  • Any exception to this qualification for any reason may occur with the consent of the area’s tenured and probationary faculty.

Pay

Initial rank and salary for lecturer faculty are based on professional experience and educational background and are determined by the hiring department. Most new lecturers are hired at the Lecturer A or B rank. As of July 2026, the classification salary ranges for the respective ranks are:

  • Lecturer A: $5,507‑$6,677
  • Lecturer B: $6,221‑$13,224
  • Lecturer C: $6,825‑$14,523
  • Lecturer D: $8,593‑$15,211

Schedule

Appointments are part‑time, temporary and often made just prior to the start of the academic term; applicants must be available on very short notice. Positions are for the Fall and/or Spring semesters of the 2026‑27 academic year, which begins August 17, 2026. Assignments are contingent upon class availability, scheduling, budget and enrollments. Per CSU policy, the person hired must reside in the state of California at the time of hire and for the entirety of the appointment.

We must ensure we removed all boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, legal, application instructions, etc. Also removed duplicated lines. Also removed "How To Apply". Also removed "Note: Cal Poly cannot deny..." etc? That is part of background check info; we kept background check mention but removed the detailed note about criminal conviction assessment? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The note about criminal conviction history is substantive? It says: "Note: Cal Poly cannot deny an applicant a position solely or in part due to a criminal conviction history until it has performed an individualized assessment and linked the relevant conviction history with specific job duties in the position being sought." That is substantive detail about background check policy. Should we keep it? It's part of special conditions. We should keep it. Also the sentence about "Cal Poly will not sponsor an H-1B for this position." That's substantive. Also "The person holding this position is considered a 'mandated reporter' under the California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act and is required to comply with the requirements set forth in CSU Executive Order 1083 as a condition of employment." That's substantive. Also "Please note: Current employees who are offered positions on campus will be required to undergo a background check for any position where a background check is required by law or that Cal Poly has designated as sensitive." That's also substantive. Also "Sensitive positions are those requiring heightened scrutiny..." etc. Also "For health and well-being, Cal Poly is a smoke & tobacco-free campus." Also "The university is committed to promoting a healthy environment for all members of our community." Also "In accordance with the California State University (CSU) Out-of-State Employment Policy, the CSU is a state entity whose business operations reside within the State of California and prohibits hiring employees to perform CSU related work outside of California." All these are substantive. We need to incorporate them somewhere. Could add to About the role or maybe a separate section "Conditions" but not allowed. So we must fold them into existing sections, preferably About the role or Responsibilities. Since they are not about responsibilities, better to put them in About the role. Thus About the role paragraph will be long, covering temporary nature, short notice, area, term start, positions as needed, background check details, H-1B, mandated reporter, sensitive positions, smoke-free, out-of-state policy, residence requirement. We must ensure we don't repeat any info unnecessarily. Let's craft About the role paragraph: "The Industrial Technology, Packaging, and Entrepreneurship area in the Orfalea College of Business at Cal Poly (Solano Campus) is seeking applications for a pool of part‑time lecturers and lab instructors for the Fall and/or Spring semesters of the 2026‑27 academic year, which begins August 17, 2026. Appointments are temporary and are often made just prior to the start of the academic term; applicants must be available on very short notice. Positions are created as determined by need and funding for teaching assignments in the listed subject areas. Following a conditional offer of employment, a satisfactory background check (including a criminal records check) must be completed before work may begin; Cal Poly will not deny an applicant solely on the basis of a criminal conviction history without an individualized assessment linking the conviction to specific job duties. The university does not sponsor H‑1B visas for this role. The incumbent is considered a mandated reporter under the California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act and must comply with CSU Executive Order 1083. Current employees offered a campus position will undergo a background check if the role is designated as sensitive (positions involving heightened scrutiny for potential harm to children, safety/security concerns, or financial risk). Cal Poly is a smoke‑ and tobacco‑free campus and promotes a healthy environment. Per CSU out‑of‑state employment policy, the employee must reside in California at the time of hire and for the duration of the appointment." That covers many points. Now Responsibilities: list of teaching assignments. Also mention assignments contingent upon class availability
