Postdoctoral Fellow – Catastrophe Risk and Insurance
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. At end there is EEO statement etc. Remove that.
Also remove "Important Note- St. John’s is NOT an E-Verify Employer". That's maybe not boilerplate but could be considered metadata; but it's not a heading; we can keep as a short paragraph? It's not a duty/requirement/benefit. It's a note about E-Verify. Might be considered minor metadata; we could fold into a short p or drop. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." This note is minor metadata; we can drop it or include as a short p. Probably drop.
Also remove "St. John’s offers a competitive compensation program which is commensurate with your qualifications, experience, and contingent upon the departmental budget." That's compensation but we decided to drop Pay section; but we could still include that sentence in Benefits? No, it's about compensation. Since we are not including Pay heading, we could still include that sentence somewhere else? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It doesn't forbid mentioning compensation elsewhere, but we should not create a Pay section. We could include that sentence in About the role or Benefits? It's about compensation, not benefits. Might be okay to include in About the role as a note. But we risk violating "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". If we include that sentence in a paragraph under About the role, it's not a heading, so it's okay. However the sentence includes "commensurate with your qualifications, experience" which is filler-like but it's not a heading. The instruction only forbids heading followed by filler text. So we can keep it in a paragraph.
Similarly, benefits details we will put under Benefits heading with a list.
Schedule details under Schedule heading.
Now we need to extract all substantive content:
- Intro about St. John’s: The first paragraph about the university. That's background; maybe we can include in About the role? The job summary is after that. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". So we can include a short paragraph about the university as part of About the role? Probably yes.
Let's parse:
First paragraph: "St. John’s, established in 1870, has two New York City campuses; international locations in Rome, Italy; Limerick, Ireland; and Paris, France; and study abroad locations around the world. The Princeton Review and other top rankings consistently recognize the University’s outstanding academics, diverse student body, dynamic internship, and volunteer opportunities, focus on student life, and diverse study abroad offerings. St. John’s University offers more than 100 undergraduate and graduate programs in its six colleges and schools, with a growing number of programs offered online. The University is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and 12 other major academic and professional associations. A dedication to diversity, equity and inclusion is at the heart of our mission. As a Catholic and Vincentian university, St. John’s is committed to institutionalizing practices of inclusive excellence to ensure that we welcome and celebrate the intrinsic worth of all members of our community. We will become an even stronger university as we enhance equity at every level of our institution. Our graduates will excel in the competencies and values needed for leadership and service in a rapidly evolving world."
That's general university info. Could be included in About the role.
Then "Job Summary The Postdoctoral Fellow will support the Institute for the Study of Catastrophe Risk and Resilience and the Greenberg School of Risk Management in advancing its research, education, and outreach mission.

Preferred Education And Experience Experience with interdisciplinary collaboration and applied research. Experience organizing academic conferences, workshops, or seminars.

Then "Supplemental Information Work Environment Operates in a professional office environment.

Then benefits paragraph: "Important Note- St. John’s is NOT an E-Verify Employer St. John’s offers a competitive compensation program which is commensurate with your qualifications, experience, and contingent upon the departmental budget. St. John’s University considers factors such as (but not limited to) scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate’s work experience, education/training, key skills, internal peer equity, as well as market and organizational considerations when extending an offer.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national or ethnic origin, age, status as an individual with a disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law."
We need to remove EEO boilerplate at end. Also remove "Important Note- St. John’s is NOT an E-Verify Employer". Also remove the sentence about compensation being commensurate? We decided to keep it maybe in About the role? But it's about compensation; we could keep it in a paragraph under About the role or maybe under Benefits? It's not a benefit. Safer to keep it in About the role as a note.
We also need to remove duplicated lines: I don't see duplicates.
Now construct HTML.
We'll have:
