We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content.
The posting includes sections: "Our Vision", "Current Research", "The Opportunity", "Qualifications", "Research Environment", "Salary, Benefits, and Career Development", "About UB". Also mention visa sponsorship.
We need to decide which headings to use. The instructions: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). But we should only include a heading if posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to map content to these headings.
We have "Qualifications" definitely present. "Benefits" present (Salary, Benefits, and Career Development). "Pay" maybe present? It says "Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience following current NIH guidelines." That's pay info but vague. The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state salary info, albeit vague but still states salary is competitive and commensurate with experience. That is still content about pay. So we can include Pay section with that sentence. Benefits: we have benefits description. Schedule: not mentioned. So we omit Schedule.
About the role: we have "The Opportunity" describing role. Could map to About the role. Responsibilities: maybe not explicit list; but we have description of what candidate will do: contribute to discoveries, build foundation, etc. Could be responsibilities. Might be okay to include Responsibilities with that content. Requirements: maybe not separate; qualifications cover. Skills: maybe not explicit. Could omit if no specific list.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting, but we can group them under appropriate headings.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must remove boilerplate like EEO etc. At end there is EEO statement; we should remove that.
Also remove navigation/cookie etc none.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract substantive content:

We need to omit EEO statement.
Now map to headings:
- About the role: could combine "The Opportunity" and maybe "Working closely with Professor Qin" etc. But we need to avoid duplication. We'll put under About the role: description of opportunity and what candidate will do.
- Responsibilities: maybe we can list specific duties: contribute to exciting biological discoveries, build a broad foundation, etc. But we already used that in About the role. Might be better to split: About the role = overview of lab and vision; Responsibilities = what candidate will do; Requirements = qualifications; Skills = desirable experience; Benefits = benefits; Pay = salary.
But we must not create thin sections. Let's see if we have enough content for each.
We have:
About the role: description of lab vision, current research, opportunity.
Responsibilities: list of duties: contribute to exciting biological discoveries while building a broad foundation in modern structural and biophysical research; work closely with Professor Qin and collaborators; develop own scientific ideas, learn new techniques, produce high-quality publications; lead innovative research, publish impactful work, prepare for independent research careers (from mentoring paragraph). That seems enough.
Requirements: Ph.D. in listed disciplines; be close to completing.
Skills: experience in electrophysiology, protein biochemistry, structural biology, cryo-EM, fluorescent microscopy desirable but not required; motivated, creative, intellectually curious, enjoy tackling important biological problems, excited to learn new approaches.
Benefits: comprehensive health and retirement plan options; work-life effectiveness; visa sponsorship; benefits website.
Pay: salary competitive and commensurate with experience per NIH guidelines.
Schedule: none.
We also have Research Environment description; maybe could be part of About the role or Responsibilities? Could be its own section but not in allowed headings. Could incorporate into About the role.
We also have About UB; could be part of About the role or separate but not in allowed headings. Could incorporate into About the role as context.
We must not invent headings not allowed. So we should stick to allowed headings only. So we can only use those headings. We need to fit all content under those headings.
Thus we need to map:
- About the role: include lab vision, current research, opportunity, research environment, about UB.
- Responsibilities: duties as described.
- Requirements: Ph.D. requirement.
- Skills: desirable experience and personal attributes.
- Benefits: health, retirement, work-life, visa sponsorship, benefits website.
- Pay: salary info.
We must not include empty headings.

About the role content: - Postdoctoral Position Available Immediately Qin Laboratory for Dynamic Structural Biophysics Department of Physiology and Biophysics Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences University at Buffalo - Our Vision: Observe Biology in Motion Biology happens in motion. Yet most structural and biophysical methods capture only static snapshots. Our laboratory seeks to understand dynamic molecular mechanisms underlying protein function. We integrate structural biology, electrophysiology, quantitative biophysics, and computational approaches to visualize transient molecular events and uncover the physical principles that govern protein function. Our philosophy is simple: When existing tools cannot answer important biological questions, we build new ones. This has led to innovations ranging from the QuB software suite for single-channel kinetic analysis, to submillisecond temperature-clamp electrophysiology, differential scanning calorimetry for thermal activation, and now time-resolved cryo-EM. Together, these approaches are establishing a new framework for dynamic structural biophysics. - Current Research Our current biological focus is thermoTRP ion channels - molecular sensors of temperature and pain. Beyond these fascinating proteins, our long-term goal is to develop broadly applicable approaches for studying protein dynamics across diverse biological systems. Current Research Includes Decoding the mechanisms of temperature sensing by ion channelsDeveloping and applying time-resolved cryo-EM to capture previously inaccessible conformational statesEngineering ultrafast perturbation methods that trigger and trap dynamic protein motions in real time.Integrating structural, electrophysiological, thermodynamic, and computational approaches into quantitative models of protein dynamics Faculty profile and publications here. - The Opportunity This position offers the opportunity to participate in an innovative, interdisciplinary research program at the interface of structural biology, electrophysiology, instrumentation, and quantitative biophysics. Working closely with Professor Qin and collaborators, the successful candidate will contribute to exciting biological discoveries while building a broad foundation in modern structural and biophysical research. The laboratory emphasizes close mentoring, creativity, interdisciplinary collaboration, and professional development, providing an environment in which trainees progress from guided research to increasing scientific independence while developing their own scientific ideas, learning new techniques, and producing high-quality publications. We do not expect applicants to have expertise in every aspect of our research. Laboratory members come from diverse backgrounds, including electrophysiology, structural biology, protein biochemistry, computation, physics, and engineering. We build on each individual's strengths while providing opportunities to broaden their expertise, learn new methodologies, and collaborate across disciplines in a supportive environment. Professor Qin has over 30 years of mentoring experience and is committed to helping trainees develop into independent scientists through personalized mentoring, scientific freedom, interdisciplinary collaboration, and opportunities to lead innovative research, publish impactful work, and prepare for independent research careers. - Research Environment The laboratory provides a highly interdisciplinary environment integrating structural biology, electrophysiology, fluorescence microscopy, protein biochemistry, thermodynamics, instrumentation development, and quantitative modeling. Our long-standing collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory provides access to state-of-the-art cryo-EM facilities and expertise. - About UB The University at Buffalo is SUNY’s most comprehensive public research university, and an outstanding place to work.
