We need to output only HTML fragment, using for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Position: Postdoctoral Teaching Fellowship, Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics (AMS) at Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO. Start August 2027 (subject to availability). Two-year appointment, renewable for additional year.
- Department details: 25 faculty, split research/teaching. Research interests list.
- Primary Responsibilities: teach 4 courses per year; primary teaching in core mathematics sequence (Calculus I, II, III, Differential Equations); may also teach outside core (Intro to Scientific Computing, Linear Algebra, Intro to Statistics, Intro to Probability). Assigned research mentor (Prof. Brennan Sprinkle) guides professional development as researcher. May collaborate with AMS faculty within research field or across department in improvement/delivery of curriculum.
- Additional Responsibilities: Writing manuscripts within peer-reviewed journals and presenting results at (inter)national conferences and workshops; Potential for collaboration within Prof. Sprinkle’s research group, including other postdocs, graduate and undergraduate students; Potential for participation in grant-writing and annual reports; Perform other duties as assigned.
- Minimum Qualifications: Education and Experience: PhD degree in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Computational Science, Statistics or related field by August 2027. Intended for recent PhD candidates. Previous experience in teaching mathematics at collegiate level.
- Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: Strong commitment to and experience with undergraduate teaching; Experience with mathematics research via journal and/or conference publications; Strong communication (both oral and written) and interpersonal skills for collaborative work.
- Preferred Qualifications: Education and Experience: Undergraduate teaching experience within a coordinated, multi-section setting; Experience with and outstanding promise in research devoted to one or more of categories: applied and computational mathematics, fast numerical methods, open-source software development, colloidal and soft matter systems, mathematical biology at the cell scale, and applied partial differential equations; Interest in interdisciplinary research efforts; Experience with mentoring undergraduate student research.
- About Mines & Golden, CO: description of Mines, ranking, etc. Might be considered "About the role"? Actually "About Mines & Golden, CO" is more about institution. Could be part of "About the role"? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings.
We have:
- About the role: could include description of position, department, start date, appointment length, mentor, etc.
- Responsibilities: primary and additional responsibilities.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (education/experience).
- Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications? Could be separate "Qualifications" heading for both minimum and preferred? But we have separate headings: Requirements and Qualifications. Likely Requirements = minimum qualifications; Qualifications = preferred qualifications or additional qualifications.
- Skills: Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities.
- Benefits: list of benefits.
- Pay: Annual Rate $65,000 - $70,000 plus details about Mines Defined Contribution Plan etc. Also mention salary determination factors.
- Schedule: maybe teaching load (4 courses per year) but schedule not explicitly given. Could we infer? Not given explicit schedule like hours per week. Might not include Schedule section if no specific content. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Pay is stated. Benefits is stated. Schedule? Not explicitly stated; maybe teaching load implies schedule but not explicit. Safer to omit Schedule.
We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Pay is given as range.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Remove "How To Apply", "Additional Information And Reasonable Accommodation Requests", "Equal Opportunity", etc.
We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details about department, start date, appointment length, mentor, responsibilities, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics like course names, mentor name, research areas, etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive info.

We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Good. Now craft content. About the role: include that it's a Postdoctoral Teaching Fellowship in AMS at Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO; start August 2027 (subject to availability); two-year appointment renewable for additional year; department details: 25 faculty, split research/teaching; research interests list; mentor Prof. Brennan Sprinkle; mention Mines ranking etc? Might be considered part of About Mines & Golden, CO. Could include in About the role or maybe separate? Since we don't have a heading for "About Mines", we could incorporate that info into About the role as context. But we must not invent. The posting includes a paragraph about Mines: "When the world looks for answers..." etc. That's substantive info about the institution. Should we include? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information. So we should include that description somewhere. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section but we lack heading. Could we add a heading "About Mines & Golden, CO"? Not allowed because only allowed headings are those listed. But we could embed that paragraph under About the role as part of description. That seems okay. Thus About the role paragraph will include: position title, department, start date, appointment length, department composition, research interests, mentor, Mines description. Responsibilities: primary: teach 4 courses per year; core sequence; possible outside core; assigned research mentor guides professional development; may collaborate with AMS faculty within research field or across department in improvement/delivery of curriculum. Additional: writing manuscripts, presenting results; potential collaboration within Sprinkle’s research group; potential participation in grant-writing and annual reports; perform other duties as assigned. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications: PhD degree in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Computational Science, Statistics or related field by August 2027; intended for recent PhD candidates; previous experience in teaching mathematics at collegiate level. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications: undergraduate teaching experience within a coordinated, multi-section setting; experience with and outstanding promise in research devoted to applied and computational mathematics, fast numerical methods, open-source software development, colloidal and soft matter systems, mathematical biology at the cell scale, applied partial differential equations; interest in interdisciplinary research efforts; experience with mentoring undergraduate student research. Skills: Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: strong commitment to and experience with undergraduate teaching; experience with mathematics research via journal and/or conference publications; strong communication (both oral and written) and interpersonal skills for collaborative work. Benefits: list: flexible health and dental care options; generous sick and vacation time; fully vested retirement plan on first day of employment with generous employer contribution; tuition benefits (6 credits per year for employees, 50 percent discount for dependents); free RTD Ecopass; discount programs through State of Colorado; free tickets for Mines Athletics home games; access to state-of-the-art Recreation Center (fitness classes and training, swimming pool and more) and equipment rentals through Outdoor Rec Center; on-campus daycare center; 11% employee contribution through Mines Defined Contribution Plan and 12% employer contribution with immediate 100% vesting for Administrative Faculty positions (though this is for Administrative Faculty; but still mentioned as benefit). Might include that. Pay: Annual Rate $65,000 - $70,000; Mines considers combination of education, training, experience, position scope, discretion, latitude, work location, external market and internal value when determining salary level. We should not include schedule. Now produce HTML. Make sure to use- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
. For headings use
. We need to avoid duplicate lines. Ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Equal Opportunity", "How To Apply", etc. Let's craft. Check for any mention of "Postdoctoral Teaching Fellows are expected to teach 4 courses per year." That's responsibility. Also "Postdoctoral fellows are further assigned a research mentor from the AMS faculty who guides the fellow in their professional development as a researcher." That's responsibility. Also "In addition to teaching obligations, postdocs may collaborate with AMS faculty within their distinct research field or across the department in the improvement and delivery of the AMS curriculum." Responsibility. Additional responsibilities: "Writing manuscripts within peer-reviewed journals and presenting results at (inter)national conferences and workshops", "Potential for collaboration within Prof. Sprinkle’s research group, including other postdocs, as well as graduate and undergraduate students at Mines", "Potential for participation in grant-writing and annual reports", "Perform other duties as assigned". Now for Requirements: "Education and Experience: PhD degree in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Computational Science, Statistics or a related field by August 2027. This position is intended for recent PhD candidatesPrevious experience in teaching mathematics at the collegiate level". Note there is a missing space between "candidatesPrevious". We'll fix. Qualifications: "Preferred Qualifications Education and Experience: Undergraduate teaching experience within a coordinated, multi-section settingExperience with and outstanding promise in research devoted to one or more of the following categories: applied and computational mathematics, fast numerical methods, open-source software development, colloidal and soft matter systems, mathematical biology at the cell scale, and applied partial differential equationsInterest in interdisciplinary research effortsExperience with mentoring undergraduate student research". We'll parse. Skills: "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities Strong commitment to and experience with undergraduate teachingExperience with mathematics research via journal and/or conference publicationsStrong communication (both oral and written) and interpersonal skills for collaborative work". Now Benefits: list as above. Now Pay: "Annual Rate $65,000 - $70,000 Mines takes into consideration a combination of candidate’s education, training and experience as well as the position’s scope and complexity, the discretion and latitude required in the role, work location, and external market and internal value when determining a salary level for potential new employees. In addition to the amazing benefits mentioned below, Mines continues to show its dedication to its employees by offering an 11% employee contribution through our Mines Defined Contribution Plan and an incredible 12% employer contribution with immediate 100% vesting for our Administrative Faculty positions!" This part includes benefits info already; but we already listed benefits. Might be redundant but we can keep as part of Pay description. We need to avoid repeating benefit details in Pay section; but we can include the contribution plan details as part of Pay (since it's about compensation). However we already listed benefits; we could keep it under Benefits. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; we can include it under Benefits as it's a benefit. The Pay section can just mention the salary range and determination factors. Thus Pay:
Annual Rate $65,000 - $70,000. Mines determines salary based on education, training, experience, position scope and complexity, discretion and latitude, work location, external market and internal value.
Now Benefits: include flexible health/dental, sick
