That's maybe okay but it's a link; but we can keep as part of description? The instruction says remove application instructions. The link to more research details is not exactly an application instruction; it's more info. Might keep but it's not a list. Could keep as a paragraph. We need to produce sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. About the role: Could be a paragraph describing the role/fellowship. We have description: "The Shengqing (Stan) Gu lab at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center seeks a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow with a strong biomedical research background to join our team.
