We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. 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 information, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to parse posting for content.
Key sections:
- Position Summary: includes description of role, responsibilities, region, etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "Responsibilities". The posting includes "Position Summary" then "Specific RCC responsibilities include: ..." then later "Responsibilities Faculty members are expected to demonstrate a commitment to excellence in teaching, student advising. Teaching.... Research.... Service.... Clinical Practice....". So we have responsibilities described.
- Required Qualifications: list.
- Preferred Qualifications: list.
- About The Department: description of department and college.
- About CMU: description of university.
- Position Begin Date: 01/07/2027 (maybe schedule? Not schedule). There's no explicit Pay, Benefits, Schedule. So we should not create those sections.
- Some training and orientation may be scheduled prior to start: could be schedule? Not explicit schedule like hours. Probably not include schedule.
- Benefits: none mentioned.
Thus sections we can include: About the role (maybe from Position Summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications?), Skills (maybe combine required/preferred skills?), About the Department, About CMU.
But we must follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include any that have content.
We need to decide mapping:
- About the role: could be Position Summary (overview). Use that.
- Responsibilities: the detailed responsibilities list.
- Requirements: Required Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe combine skill statements from Required Qualifications (communication, organization, etc.) but we already have them in Requirements. Could still create Skills section with those skill statements. However we must not duplicate content? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Duplication may be okay if it's in original? But we should avoid redundant sections? It says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine skills into Requirements or Qualifications. Better to not create Skills if no distinct skill list beyond what's already in Requirements/Qualifications. But we could still include Skills if we extract skill statements from Required Qualifications: "Strong communication, organization, interpersonal, problem-solving, teaching, and learning principles." and "Current knowledge and skill in use of information and computer technology". That's skill-like. But we already have them in Requirements. Might be okay to have Skills section with those. However we need to avoid thin sections. Might be better to not create Skills.
- Benefits: none, so omit.
- Pay: none, omit.
- Schedule: none explicit, omit.
Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, About the Department, About CMU.
But headings list does not include About the Department or About CMU. The instruction says use

- Benefits: none, so omit.
- Pay: none, omit.
- Schedule: none explicit, omit.
Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, About the Department, About CMU.
But headings list does not include About the Department or About CMU. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says "e.g." implying those are examples, but we should use those headings only? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It might be expecting only those headings. However we could also add other headings if needed? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are the allowed headings. It does not explicitly forbid other headings, but to be safe we should stick to those. However we have content about department and CMU that doesn't fit those headings. Could we fold that into About the role? Possibly include department description within About the role. Or we could omit department and CMU description? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include that info somewhere. Could we put it under About the role? The role description could include department and university context. That seems acceptable.
Thus we will have sections: About the role (includes position summary + department + CMU overview), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. Possibly Skills if we extract skill statements not already covered. But we can incorporate skill statements into Requirements or Qualifications.
Let's extract content.
