We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention. Remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines and application instructions. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". So we need to parse the posting.
Let's extract content:
- Title: PhD fellowships in Quantum Optics and Quantum Sensing (but we don't repeat as heading).
- About the role: description of projects, group, etc. So we can have an
About the role
with paragraphs summarizing. - Responsibilities: list of responsibilities and tasks in both PhD programmes (the bullet list). So we can haveResponsibilities
with- items.
- Requirements: maybe qualifications needed for regular programme? Also "Qualifications Needed For The Regular Programme". That could be Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says we can have sections Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what content goes where. The posting includes:
- Qualifications Needed For The Regular Programme: eligibility criteria (master's degree equivalent, etc.)
- Terms of employment in the regular programme: employment details (full time, max 3 years, conditional upon enrolment, etc.)
- Responsibilities and tasks in both PhD programmes: list.
- We Are Looking For The Following Qualifications: professional qualifications relevant to the PhD project include experience in quantum optics and atomic physics, etc. Also list: Relevant publications, Relevant work experience, Other relevant professional activities, Curious mind-set..., Good English language skills.
- Application and Assessment Procedure: details about application, deadline, etc. But 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 should remove application instructions like "Your application including all attachments must be in English and submitted electronically by clicking APPLY NOW below." etc. Also remove deadline? The instruction says to preserve ALL substantive information; but application instructions might be considered boilerplate? It says remove application instructions. So we should omit the "Application and Assessment Procedure" section entirely, including deadline, etc. However, the deadline is substantive info; but they say remove application instructions. Might be ambiguous. Usually they want to exclude "APPLY NOW" and instructions on how to apply, but maybe deadline is still relevant? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the entire application instructions block. That includes deadline, how to apply, required documents, etc. So we will not include that.
- Also there is a line: "When you will be affiliated with the University of Copenhagen or otherwise have access to their research, you may be required to undergo a background screening." That's part of application instructions; remove.
- "Questions For specific information about the PhD fellowship, please contact the principal supervisor." That's also application instruction; remove.
- "General information about PhD study at the Faculty of SCIENCE is available at the PhD School’s website: ..." remove.
- "The University of Copenhagen wishes to reflect the surrounding community..." remove.
- "APPLY NOW" etc remove.
- At the end: "Part of the International Alliance of Research Universities (IARU), and among Europe’s top-ranking universities..." that's boilerplate; remove.
Thus we keep: About the role (projects description), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (eligibility/qualifications needed), Qualifications (maybe "We Are Looking For The Following Qualifications"), Skills (maybe the specific skills like experience in quantum optics, etc). But we need to avoid duplication. Let's map:
- About the role: description of projects, group, research environment, facilities, supervisor.
- Responsibilities: list of tasks (Complete and pass the MSc education..., Carry through an independent research project..., Participate in active research environments..., Teaching..., Write scientific papers..., Write and defend a PhD thesis).
- Requirements: eligibility criteria for regular programme (completed degree equivalent to Danish master's, etc.) plus maybe terms of employment? Terms of employment could be considered Benefits/Pay/Schedule? But we have no explicit pay or schedule besides "full time". The posting says "Employment as PhD fellow is full time and for maximum 3 years." That's schedule (full time) and duration (max 3 years). Pay not mentioned. Benefits not mentioned. So we can include Schedule section with "Full time, maximum 3 years". However instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state full time and max 3 years, so we can include Schedule. But we need to avoid filler like "not specified". We have specific: full time, max 3 years. So we can put Schedule.
- Benefits: not stated, so omit.
- Pay: not stated, omit.
- Skills: maybe the "We Are Looking For The Following Qualifications" includes professional qualifications, relevant publications, work experience, other activities, curious mind-set, good English language skills. That could be Skills. But we also have Qualifications section for eligibility. Let's decide:
- Requirements: eligibility (degree, etc.)
- Qualifications: maybe the "Qualifications Needed For The Regular Programme" is actually requirements; but we already used Requirements for eligibility. Could swap.
Better to follow typical job posting: Requirements = mandatory qualifications; Qualifications = preferred qualifications; Skills = specific abilities.
Thus:
- Requirements (mandatory): Completed degree equivalent to Danish master's (180 ECTS/3 FTE BSc + 120 ECTS/2 FTE MSc) related to subject area.
- Qualifications (preferred): Experience in quantum optics and atomic physics, generation of quantum states of light and atoms, magnetic field generation and measurement, radiofrequency electronics, computer control and modelling. Also relevant publications, work experience, other professional activities, curious mind-set, good English language skills.
- Skills: maybe the same as Qualifications? Could combine. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can have Requirements and Qualifications only, and omit Skills. But we need to follow instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine Qualifications and Skills into one section called "Qualifications" that includes both mandatory and preferred? But we already have Requirements for mandatory. Could have Requirements and Qualifications (preferred). That's two sections.
- Responsibilities: list.
- About the role: description.
- Schedule: full time, max 3 years.
Thus we will output:

We must not repeat job title. Ensure we preserve all substantive info from the posting. Now extract precise text. About the role: The posting includes: "The Niels Bohr Institute invites applicants for PhD fellowships in Quantum Optics and Quantum Sensing. Start date is 1 January 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter. The projects The projects will contribute to the development of quantum sensors based on room temperature atomic ensembles. Atomic vapours in spin protecting environment have been developed at our laboratory and used as ultrasensitive sensors of electromagnetic fields. Quantum limits of sensitivity set by the interplay between measurement imprecision and measurement quantum backaction have been explored and methods towards overcoming those limits have been developed. The PhD projects will contribute to two main modalities in quantum sensing being developed at our group, magnetometry and magnetic induction tomography. Generation of entangled and squeezed states of collective atomic spin and light for enhanced sensitivity will be explored. Effects of entangled states of light and atomic spins on the limits of sensitivity to electro-magnetic fields will be investigated. Optimized quantum limited sensors will be incorporated in magnetometers optimized for specific tasks. Projects will ultimately aim at applications of entanglement-enabled atomic sensors for bio-medical sensing in collaboration with medical professionals. Our group and research- and what do we offer? The group is a part of the Niels Bohr Institute (Department of Physics), the Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen. Research will be carried out at QUANTOP laboratories and is part of the Copenhagen Center for Biomedical Quantum Sensing - CBQS. We are a vibrant group of approximately 20 researchers and students working on quantum physics of atoms and light with particular emphasis on interfacing disparate quantum systems with light. Generation of entangled states of light and atoms and their use for quantum sensing, quantum communication and quantum simulations are the core activities at QUANTOP. CBQS is a collaborative effort between the Niels Bohr Institute, Danish Technical University, University of Texas in Austin and medical professionals in Denmark and abroad. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in dynamic and international research environment. Our research facilities include modern laboratories located on Blegdamsvej 17, Copenhagen ∅. Principal supervisor is Prof. Eugene Polzik, Polzik@nbi.ku.dk" We need to preserve all that info. We'll create a paragraph or multiple paragraphs. Could split into two paragraphs: first about projects, second about group and offer. Responsibilities: list from "Responsibilities and tasks in both PhD programmes": - Complete and pass the MSc education in accordance with the curriculum of the MSc programme (ONLY when you are attending the integrated MSc and PhD programme) - Carry through an independent research project under supervision - Complete PhD courses corresponding to approx. 30 ECTS / ½ FTE - Participate in active research environments, including a stay at another research institution, preferably abroad - Teaching and knowledge dissemination activities - Write scientific papers aimed at high-impact journals - Write and defend a PhD thesis on the basis of your project We need to keep exactly as given. Requirements: "Qualifications Needed For The Regular Programme To be eligible for the regular PhD programme, you must have completed a degree programme, equivalent to a Danish master’s degree (180 ECTS/3 FTE BSc + 120 ECTS/2 FTE MSc) related to the subject area of the project, e.g. [relevant educations]. For information of eligibility of completed programmes, see General assessments for specific countries and Assessment database." We should keep that. The "[relevant educations]" placeholder is part of text; we keep as is. Also "Terms of employment in the regular programme Employment as PhD fellow is full time and for maximum 3 years. Employment is conditional upon your successful enrolment as a PhD student at the PhD School at the Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen. This requires submission and acceptance of an application for the specific project formulated by the applicant. Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Danish Ministry of Taxation and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State. The position is covered by the Protocol on Job Structure." This contains employment details (full time, max 3 years) and terms. Since we have Schedule section for full time/max 3 years, we could put the rest in Requirements or Qualifications? The terms of appointment and payment etc. are not pay specifics. Could be considered part of Requirements (employment terms). But we already have Requirements for eligibility. Could add another paragraph under Requirements about employment terms. However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could merge eligibility and employment terms into Requirements section. That's fine. Qualifications: "We Are Looking For The Following Qualifications Professional qualifications relevant to the PhD project include experience in quantum optics and atomic physics, in particular with generation of quantum states of light and atoms, magnetic field generation and measurement, radiofrequency electronics, computer
