Post Doc Fellow, Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a 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. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes:
- Job Overview (description)
- Essential Functions (list of duties)
- Required Education
- Required Experience
- Additional Qualifications Considered
- Compensation And Benefits (details)
- Anticipated Start Date (maybe schedule? but it's a date, not schedule)
- Also some info about UC (mission, etc.) but that's boilerplate? It's about the university, maybe we can include as "About the role" or "About UC"? The instructions: Use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map content.
We have:
- About the role: could be the Job Overview paragraph (description of Wu Lab, project). That's substantive.
- Responsibilities: Essential Functions list.
- Requirements: could combine Required Education and Required Experience? Or separate? The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could have Requirements (education + experience) and Qualifications (additional qualifications considered). Or we could have Requirements (education) and Experience (experience) but they said we can use those headings. Let's decide: Use "Requirements" for Required Education and Required Experience combined? Might be better to split: "Education" and "Experience" but those aren't in the list. The list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. So we can put education+experience under Requirements, and additional qualifications under Qualifications. Skills maybe not explicitly listed; we could omit.
- Benefits: Compensation And Benefits section includes details: benefits package, tuition remission, retirement plans, work-life balance, parental leave, additional benefits (competitive salary, health coverage, etc.). So we can create a Benefits section with list.
- Pay: The posting mentions "Competitive salary based on experience" but not a specific number. According to instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Competitive salary based on experience" which is vague but still states something about pay. However they said avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". "Competitive salary based on experience" is somewhat vague but still a statement. Might be considered filler? The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state something about pay, albeit vague. But they also say avoid filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". That's similar. So maybe we should not create a Pay section because it's not specific. Safer to omit Pay section.
- Schedule: Not mentioned besides anticipated start date (Nov 1, 2026). That's not a schedule (like full-time/part-time). Could be considered schedule? Probably not. So omit Schedule.
Thus sections: About the role (Job Overview), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements (Required Education + Required Experience), Qualifications (Additional Qualifications Considered), Benefits (Compensation And Benefits). Possibly also include Anticipated Start Date somewhere? Could be placed in a short paragraph under About the role or as its own section? The instruction says include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. Start date is specific. Could be placed under a heading like "Start Date" but not in the list. Could fold into About the role as a sentence. Or we could add a "Schedule" section? Not appropriate. Better to add a short paragraph after About the role: "Anticipated Start Date: November 1, 2026." as a
. That's permissible.
We must remove boilerplate: UC mission description, equal opportunity, E-Verify, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information: job overview, essential functions list, required education, required experience, additional qualifications considered, compensation and benefits details, anticipated start date.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the exact details as much as possible, but we can rephrase into HTML but must preserve meaning. We should not omit any details.
Let's extract substantive content:
Job Overview:
"The Wu Lab at the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the University of Cincinnati is seeking a well-qualified Postdoctoral Researcher to support a DOE-sponsored research project focused in the areas of electrocatalyst design and synthesis, electrochemical reaction engineering and process, and electrochemical system design.

We need to decide which content goes into lists.
- Essential Functions: list.
- Required Education: could be a

- Required Experience: list of two items.
- Additional Qualifications Considered: list of four items.
- Benefits: we have multiple sub-items; we could make a

for sub-items? The instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested lists. We can do nested.
Simplify: Provide a

Now, we need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Not needed.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. There's a REQ: [[id]] at end; we drop.
We must not include application instructions, EEO, etc.
