We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to extract substantive content: Position Summary (description of PSU, mission, etc.) and Position Summary (the role description). Duties list (multiple bullet-like paragraphs). Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Key Cultural Competencies, Environmental Stewardship, Work Days/Hours, Total Compensation Range & Benefits Statement (includes salary range and benefits). Also there is "Position Details" with start date, classification, etc. But those are metadata; we can fold minor metadata into short

    or drop. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we could include a short paragraph with Position Details like Proposed Start Date, Position Number, etc. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information. The metadata like start date, position number, representation, renewable, end date, FTE, tenure status are maybe considered minor metadata? They are not boilerplate but they are details. However they might be considered metadata that could be placed in a short paragraph. 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

    with those details. We need sections: maybe About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (maybe key cultural competencies?), Benefits (benefits statement), Pay (salary range), Schedule (work days/hours). However we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. All these have content. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Patent Licensing & Translation Associate". Use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to use

    for each section heading. Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

      for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the details exactly as given, but we can format as lists. Let's extract content: Position Summary (first paragraph about PSU): "Portland State University is Oregon’s most affordable public research university, located in the heart of one of America’s most dynamic cities. Our mission to “let knowledge serve the city” reflects our dedication to turning ideas into action — in Portland and around the world. The city is our campus, giving students unmatched access to career connections, a vibrant cultural scene and hands-on learning experiences with hundreds of community partners. More than 20,000 students from all backgrounds bring diverse perspectives to our classrooms and campus life, from the tree-lined Park Blocks to the bustling Urban Plaza and state-of-the-art science labs. We are proud of our world-class faculty, groundbreaking research and international reputation for excellence in sustainability, community engagement and innovation." Then "Innovation and Intellectual Property is responsible for protecting and managing patentable and copyrighted works developed in the course of PSU research activities. We serve PSU faculty, students, and staff by promoting the use and increasing the impact of innovations developed in the course of research activities. By working with IIP, PSU innovators create lasting impacts on our world." Then Position Summary (role): "Working directly within the Innovation & Intellectual Property (IIP) office of Propel PSU, the incumbent will split their focus between proactive discovery harvesting (systematically mining university-wide awarded grant data and final reports to identify early-stage innovations, along with leveraging existing and curating new relationships with researchers across all colleges and centers at PSU to find new innovations and helping the innovators to disclose them when appropriate) and traditional technology transfer roles (including conducting high-intensity patentability/market analyses, managing intellectual property (IP) assets, and drafting/negotiating complex licensing and industry sponsored research agreements). The incumbent will also play an important role in programs associated with institutional innovation capacity building, prototyping and development of early-stage technologies. The incumbent will also deliver training and expertise on translation topics to faculty and graduate students, and externally to build streamlined, flexible partnership pipelines with industry and community networks to drive economic and societal impact." Duties: list of sections with bold headings? The text includes headings like "Proactive Innovation Harvesting & Grant Mining", "IP Development, Patent Portfolio Management, & Licensing", "Invention Evaluation & Innovation Support Administration", "Faculty Outreach, Training, & Mentorship", "Formalized Partnership Pipelines & Non-License Agreements", "Compliance, Intake, and Reporting", "Supervise Student & Program Interns". Each has sentences. We need to turn each duty into list items? The instruction: Use

      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a
          where each
        • contains the duty description (maybe with sub-bullets?). Could also break each duty heading as a
        • with its description inside. Probably each duty as a
        • . We'll preserve the text. Minimum Qualifications: list of bullet-like lines: "Master’s or advanced professional degree (Ph.D., JD, or MBA) with 3+ years of experience.", "Advanced degree in sciences, engineering, business, or law.", "3–5 years of direct experience in university technology transfer, commercialization, or corporate business development.", "Demonstrated experience negotiating contracts, non-disclosure agreements, or intellectual property licenses.", "Excellent organizational skills, high attention to detail, and exceptional written and verbal communication skills.", "Deep knowledge of the university research environment, grant structures, and federal compliance rules.", "Successful completion of a background check." Preferred Qualifications: similar list. Key Cultural Competencies: list of bullet-like lines: "Create an environment that acknowledges, encourages, and celebrates differences.", "Function and communicate effectively and respectfully within the context of varying beliefs, behaviors, orientations, identities, and cultural backgrounds.", "Seek opportunities to gain experience working and collaborating in diverse, multicultural, and inclusive settings with a willingness to change for continual improvement.", "Adhere to all of PSU’s policies including the policies on Prohibited Discrimination & Harassment and the Professional Standards of Conduct." Environmental Stewardship: "Contributes to a culture of environmental stewardship, practices resource conservation, and actively works toward achieving long-term sustainability goals." Work Days/Hours: "Monday-Friday, 8am - 5pm, and some nights and weekends" Total Compensation Range & Benefits Statement: includes salary range and benefits description. We need to separate Pay and Benefits sections? The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting states salary range and benefits. So we can have Pay section with salary range, Benefits section with benefits description. Or combine? It says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. But we have both Pay and Benefits; we could combine into a "Compensation and Benefits" section but headings are limited to those given: Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could make separate Pay and Benefits sections. That's fine. Pay: "The starting annual salary for this position will be between $67,512 and $83,496 but may be negotiated above this range, dependent upon the factors above, the budget of the hiring department, and approval from HR." Also earlier: "Salary is dependent on several factors, and new employees will typically start around the Q1 level to allow for later growth within the salary band." We'll include that. Benefits: "An excellent benefits package includes 95% premium paid healthcare; a generous retirement and vacation package; and reduced tuition rates for employee, spouse or dependent at any of the Oregon University System schools. Please visit our total compensation calculator to see the full value of our benefits package." Schedule: "Monday-Friday, 8am - 5pm, and some nights and weekends" We also need to include Position Details metadata maybe as a short paragraph before sections: Proposed Start Date 02/01/2027, Position Number D90553, Representation AU - AAUP Renewable, End date 09/30/2030, Position FTE 1.0, Tenure Status N - not applicable. We'll put in a

          maybe. We must not include application instructions, supplemental questions, etc. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

          Position Details: Proposed Start Date 02/01/2027; Position Number D90553; Representation AU - AAUP Renewable; End date 09/30/2030; FTE 1.0; Tenure Status N - not applicable.

          Then sections:

          About the role

          ... (position summary paragraphs)

          Responsibilities

          • Proactive Innovation Harvesting & Grant Mining: Systematically mine university-wide awarded grant data, publications, and completed final grant reports to identify early-stage discoveries with high translational or commercial potential. Implement a rigorous, proactive scouting workflow. Conduct extensive, direct outreach across all PSU academic departments and colleges to build trust and surface disclosures before they are publicly published. Coordinate with the greater faculty support... (need to capture full text). Actually the duty text includes: "Proactive Innovation Harvesting & Grant MiningSystematically mine university-wide awarded grant data, publications, and completed final grant reports to identify early-stage discoveries with high translational or commercial potential.Implement a rigorous, proactive scouting workflow. Conduct extensive, direct outreach across all PSU academic departments and colleges to build trust and surface disclosures before they are publicly published. Coordinate with the greater faculty support". It seems truncated; we need to capture the full duty as given. Let's copy exactly from the posting: "Proactive Innovation Harvesting & Grant MiningSystematically mine university-wide awarded grant data, publications, and completed final grant reports to identify early-stage discoveries with high translational or commercial potential.Implement a rigorous, proactive scouting workflow. Conduct extensive, direct outreach across all PSU academic departments and colleges to build trust and surface disclosures before they are publicly published. Coordinate with the greater faculty support" But there is missing text after "greater faculty support". Probably continues to next duty. Actually the original text: "Proactive Innovation Harvesting & Grant MiningSystematically mine university-wide awarded grant data, publications, and completed final grant reports to identify early-stage discoveries with high translational or commercial potential.Implement a rigorous, proactive scouting workflow. Conduct extensive, direct outreach across all PSU academic departments and colleges to build trust and surface disclosures before they are publicly published. Coordinate with the greater faculty supportIP Development, Patent Portfolio Management, & LicensingManage the administrative and legal aspects of PSU’s physical science, engineering, software, and life science patent portfolios.Work with faculty inventors to evaluate discoveries, draft comprehensive intellectual property strategy plans, and manage patent prosecution timelines with external law firms. Draft, negotiate, and prepare high-value patent and copyright licenses, options, and commercialization agreements for the Director’s signature." So the text is concatenated without spaces. We need to separate
