We should not include schedule. We must not include boilerplate like "Additional Information: The University of Florida...". Some of that could be considered part of About the role? The posting includes "Additional Information: The University of Florida (www.ufl.edu) is a comprehensive research-extensive university..." That's generic but maybe we can incorporate into About the role? However the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Additional Information" about UF is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered generic info about the institution. Might be okay to keep as part of About the role? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that info if it's substantive. But is it substantive? It describes the university, health science center, etc. Might be considered relevant to the role. We could include a paragraph in About the role summarizing that. But we must not include duplicated lines. The posting also includes "Additional major institutes and centers located at the University of Florida include the Emerging Pathogens Institute, the Institute of Child Health Policy, the UF Health Cancer Center, the UF Genetics Institute, the Clinical and Transactional Science Institute and the McKnight Brain Institute, all of which provide state-of-the-art environments and access to large data sets for faculty collaboration." That's also substantive. We could incorporate that into About the role. We also have "Postdoctoral associates are eligible for comprehensive health and leave benefits..." which we already captured in Benefits. We also have "Additionally, postdoctoral trainees may receive funds each training year to support professional development (e.g., travel to workshops or national conferences, purchase of education materials)." Already in Benefits. We also have "Expected Salary $63,480 annually; commensurate with experience level and in accordance with current NIH postdoctoral salary guidelines." We'll put Pay. We also have "Minimum Requirements PhD degree in computer science, statistics, biostatistics, biomedical informatics or related fields OR a PhD degree in biology or related fields." Already. We also have "Preferred Qualifications A strong background in programming (e.g., Python or R or C++) is essential. Research experience utilizing skills of programming, statistics, and AI are essential. The ideal candidate should demonstrate independent and critical thinking abilities as well as good communication skills. Prior research experience in analyzing biomedical data is preferred." Already. We also have "Special Instructions To Applicants ..." which includes application instructions; we must remove application instructions. So we discard that. We also have "This position has been reposted; previous applicants remain under consideration and need not re-apply." That's application instruction? Might be considered meta; we can drop. We also have "Final candidate will be required to provide official transcript to the hiring department upon hire. A transcript will not be considered "official" if a designation of "Issued to Student" is visible. Degrees earned from an education institution outside of the United States are required to be evaluated by a professional credentialing service provider approved by National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES), which can be found at http://www.naces.org/." This is part of application requirements; maybe we should keep as part of Requirements? It's about documentation. Could be considered part of Requirements (additional). The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should include that info. However it's about application process; but it's still a requirement for hiring. Could be placed under Requirements as additional bullet. We also have "University of Florida is a member of the State University System of Florida and an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment based on merit. The University of Florida is an Equal Employment Opportunity institution. If an accommodation is needed to apply for this position, please call 352/392-2477 or the Florida Relay System at 800/955-8771 (TDD). Hiring is contingent upon eligibility to work in the U.S. Searches are conducted in accordance with Florida's Sunshine Law. Health Assessment Required:No Advertised: 17 Sep 2026 Eastern Daylight Time Applications close: 17 Oct 2026 Eastern Daylight Time" This is boilerplate/EEO etc. Must remove. Thus we need to keep: description of department/lab, responsibilities, requirements (including transcript and NACES evaluation), qualifications, benefits, pay. We also have location: Main Campus (Gainesville, FL). Could be included in About the role or as a separate line. Since we cannot have a heading for location unless we have a section like "Location". Not in allowed headings. Could fold into About the role paragraph. We also have work type: Post Doc Associate. Could be in About the role. Thus About the role paragraph could include: The Department of Epidemiology ... Dr. Jinling Liu's laboratory ... location Main Campus (Gainesville, FL) ... work type Post Doc Associate ... etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Post Doctoral Associate". We already have work type. Now we need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:About the role
