Post-Doctoral Associate
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 (the page already shows it) and 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.
We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes:
- About the University of Georgia (description)
- About The College/Unit/Department (description)
- Duties/Responsibilities (multiple bullet points with percentages)
- Position Summary (under Minimum Qualifications)
- Relevant/Preferred Education, Experience, Licensure, Certification (list)
- Knowledge, Skills, Abilities And/or Competencies (list)
- Physical Demands (description)
- Some other info: Employment Type, Additional Schedule Information, Advertised Salary, Anticipated Start Date, Posting Date, Closing Date, Location of Vacancy, etc. Those are metadata; we can fold into a short
maybe under a generic "Details" section? But 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 short paragraph with key details: Employment Type, Advertised Salary, Anticipated Start Date, Location, etc. However we must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state Advertised Salary 47,476 (presumably per year). It also has Additional Schedule Information (maybe not detailed). It has Anticipated Start Date. It has Location of Vacancy. It has Employment Type. It has Posting Date, Closing Date. Those are metadata; we could include them in a
under a heading like "Position Details"? But heading "Position Details" is not in the allowed list; but we can still use
for any section heading? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive. Likely we should stick to those headings where applicable. We have content for About the University (maybe "About the University" could be under "About the role"? Not exactly. Could use "About the University" as a heading but not in list; but maybe we can treat as "About the role"? The role is Post-Doctoral Associate; but the "About the University" is generic. Could we combine into a section "About the University and Center"? Might be okay to use About the University and Center
. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Safer to use those headings where applicable. We have:
- Responsibilities: we have duties/responsibilities with percentages. That's a clear section.
- Requirements/Qualifications: we have Minimum Qualifications (PhD or equivalent), Relevant/Preferred Education, Experience, Licensure, Certification, Knowledge, Skills, Abilities And/or Competencies. Could combine into "Qualifications" or "Requirements". We'll use Qualifications
and include lists.
- Skills: maybe separate but we can include within Qualifications.
- Pay: we have Advertised Salary 47,476. So we can create a Pay section.
- Schedule: we have Anticipated Start Date, Additional Schedule Information (maybe not detailed). Could create Schedule section with start date and maybe note full-time.
- Benefits: not mentioned.
- About the role: we have About the University and About the College/Unit/Department. Could combine into "About the role" or "About the position". We'll use About the role
and include those descriptions.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. So we won't have a heading "Post-Doctoral Associate". Good.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, USG Core Values, etc. Also remove Special Instructions to Applicants, Contact Information, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information: that includes the description of the university, center, duties/responsibilities with percentages, position summary, minimum qualifications, preferred education/experience, knowledge/skills/abilities, physical demands, employment type, advertised salary, anticipated start date, location, etc. Also maybe the fact that it's full-time, one-year, FTE 1.0. Also the fact that driving is required, interaction with children under 18, etc. Those are substantive? Possibly yes. We should include them somewhere, maybe under "Qualifications" or "Additional Details". But we need to avoid creating thin sections. Could add a short paragraph under "Details" but we don't have a heading for that. Could incorporate into "About the role" or "Qualifications". However physical demands and other specifics like "Is this a Position of Trust?" etc. Might be considered metadata but still substantive. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include those details somewhere.
We could create a section "Additional Information" but not in examples. Might be okay to use Details
but risk deviating. However the instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, but to be safe we could embed those details within existing sections as paragraphs.
For example, under Qualifications we can add a paragraph about employment type, FTE, duration, etc. Under Pay we can include salary. Under Schedule we can include anticipated start date and note full-time. Under About the role we can include location.
Physical demands etc could be added under Qualifications as a paragraph.
