Also research directions maybe part of responsibilities. - Requirements: education (doctoral degree). Also maybe special consideration areas? Those are preferences, could be under Requirements or Skills. - Qualifications: maybe same as requirements? But we need to avoid duplication. Could combine. - Skills: list of technical approaches, areas of expertise (physiology and action of thyroid hormones or sex hormones, neuroendocrinology, neurobiology of sexually dimorphic brain regions, brain development, mouse behavioral tests, mouse models of neurological conditions, epigenetics, technical approaches used in the areas above). That's skills. - Benefits: description of benefits package (paid parental leave, flexible work options, student loan assistance, professional development opportunities, well-being resources, robust training program, seminar series, networking, presentation, Responsible Conduct of Research programming, annual meetings, publish, fellowship support, Student and Postdoc Association, MHIR Research Training and Education Office, sustaining member of National Postdoc Association, free Affiliate Membership, staff membership in GREAT Group, etc). Also mention comprehensive benefits, recognition programs, career growth opportunities, shift differentials. - Pay: mention based on NRSA stipends schedule plus 10%, dependent on post-doc year, prorated for part-time. - Schedule: not explicitly mentioned. No schedule info. So we should not include Schedule section. We must not include sections with placeholder or vague content. Ensure we have substantive content. We need to output HTML fragment only, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics like list items. We must not include boilerplate like "MaineHealth is committed to fostering a supportive, inclusive environment..."? That is substantive? It's a generic statement but it's part of posting. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "MaineHealth is committed to fostering a supportive, inclusive environment..." is not exactly boilerplate; it's a benefits description. It's okay to keep. We need to decide sections. Potential sections: - About the role: summary of lab, project, PI, opportunity. - Responsibilities: expectations list (perform specific aim, publish, mentor, develop new directions). Could also include research directions as part of responsibilities? Might be better to put research directions under Responsibilities as they describe what the fellow may work on.
