We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags, no markdown fences. Use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting.
We need to extract sections:
- About the role: description of position, project, etc.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: maybe required qualifications.
- Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications.
- Skills: maybe programming skills etc.
- Benefits: compensation and benefits.
- Pay: maybe salary range.
- Schedule: maybe work location, onsite, etc.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove application instructions (Apply today, etc). Also remove duplicated lines.
We must preserve all substantive information.
We need to decide which sections have content.
Let's extract content.
From posting:
"This position supports the early-stage curriculum and hardware development phase of the project, focused on equipping Tennessee secondary and community college agricultural educators with AI and Precision Agriculture skills and classroom-ready hardware kits. Over an 18-month appointment, the postdoctoral associate will work under the direct mentorship of the PI (Dr. Sathishkumar Samiappan) and in collaboration with Co-PIs in agricultural engineering and agricultural education to design, build, and refine 24 classroom hardware kits (programmable logic controllers, IoT environmental sensors, and computer-vision edge devices) and their associated applied-AI curriculum content, spanning row crops, livestock, controlled environment agriculture, and specialty crops. Depending on timing within the appointment, the postdoc may also help deliver in-person components of the first summer institute, provide technical support to trained educators, and contribute to project publications, conference presentations, and other duties as assigned. This is a grant-funded position and is contingent upon the continued funding of the grant."
Then description of university: "The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, has shaped leaders..." etc. That's generic but maybe part of About the role? It's about the institution. Could be included in About the role or maybe separate but we only have limited headings. Probably include in About the role.
Then: "Apply today and join the Tennessee Volunteer community! The University of Tennessee, Knoxville seeks a Postdoctoral Associate for an 18-month appointment to support one of the funded projects building AI and Precision Agriculture curricula and edge-computing hardware kits for agricultural educators. The postdoc will lead the technical design of hands-on hardware modules (sensors, edge-computing devices, and basic robotics) and applied AI/computer vision curriculum content, working closely with an interdisciplinary team spanning engineering and agricultural education. This is a hands-on, applied research and curriculum-development role based in Knoxville, TN. This is a grant-funded position and is contingent upon the continued funding of the grant."
Then Required Qualifications list.
Then Preferred Qualifications list.
Then "Work Location: Location: Knoxville, TNOnsite (hands-on hardware development and in-person summer institute delivery require on-campus presence)" So schedule/location.
Then "Compensation And Benefits Anticipated hiring range: $60,000 annually (18-month term appointment), with standard UT benefits including health insurance, retirement contributions, and paid leaveFind more information on the UT Market Range structure here Find more information on UT Benefits here"
Then Application Instructions (to remove).
Then "About The College/Department/Division Biosystem Engineering and Soil Science is the largest Department..." etc. That's more about department.
Then list of duties after that: "Co-design and prototype modular, low-cost hardware kits (sensors, edge-computing/AI devices, basic robotics) for K-14 classroom useDevelop applied AI and computer vision curriculum content and hands-on lab exercises tied to Tennessee agricultural contextsSupport development of multimedia instructional resources (demonstration videos, interactive coding notebooks)Support delivery of in-person modules of the summer institute for the first educator cohort, as scheduling allows within the appointmentProvide technical troubleshooting and support to educators deploying hardware kits in their classroomsContribute to project data collection, analysis, and dissemination through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentationsParticipate in weekly mentoring meetings with the PI and monthly full-team meetings; develop and maintain an Individual Development Plan (IDP)"
We need to avoid duplication: many duties repeated earlier.
We need to produce sections:
- About the role: combine description of position, project, university info maybe.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (the bullet list). Use
