Postdoctoral Fellow – In Vivo Pharmacology and Translational Oncology

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: 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. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. So we need to extract content. Let's parse the posting. Job Summary: description about position, lab, etc. That could go under "About the role". Could also be "Job Summary". We'll map to "About the role". Key Responsibilities: list bullet points. We'll put under Responsibilities. Work Location: Onsite – location Aurora, Colorado, occasional work outside standard hours. That could go under Schedule? Actually schedule: occasional work outside standard business hours, evenings or weekends. So schedule info. Why Join Us: description of environment, benefits mention. Could go under Benefits? But they also have a Benefits section later: "The University of Colorado offers a comprehensive benefits package. To see what benefits are available..." That's a link. So we can include Benefits section with that description and link. Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. We'll put under Qualifications (maybe separate Minimum and Preferred but we can combine). Also Knowledge, Skills and Abilities could go under Skills. Conditions of Employment: mention regular onsite work with research animals, participation in animal-care training, occupational health programs, experimental schedules may require work outside standard hours. That could be part of Schedule or Requirements? Might be part of Requirements (conditions). We'll include under Requirements maybe. Anticipated Pay Range: salary range $63,480 to $77,076, starting salary commensurate with experience, based on NIH NRSA scale, additional flexibility. This is Pay section. Must include specifics. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" but that is actual content; we can include it as it's specific? The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") . So we cannot have a Pay section if the only content is "commensurate with experience"? But we also have actual numbers range. So we can include Pay section with the range and note that starting salary will be commensurate with relevant experience and based on NIH NRSA scale. The phrase "commensurate with relevant experience" might be considered filler? It's somewhat generic but it's part of the description. The rule says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") . That suggests if the section only contains that phrase, it's filler. But we also have actual numbers, so it's okay to include that phrase as part of content. Schedule: occasional work outside standard business hours, evenings or weekends. Also mention onsite work. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: mention comprehensive benefits package, link to benefits guide. Also Why Join Us mentions environment etc. Could be Benefits. We need to avoid duplication. Let's extract. About the role: from Job Summary and maybe Why Join Us? But Why Join Us is more about environment; could be part of About the role or Benefits. We'll put About the role: description of position, lab, collaboration, opportunity. Responsibilities: bullet list from Key Responsibilities. Requirements: maybe combine Minimum Qualifications and Conditions of Employment? But we have Qualifications section separate. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we have both Requirements and Qualifications separate. Likely Requirements = mandatory qualifications? Qualifications = preferred? Or Requirements = mandatory, Qualifications = preferred? We'll decide: Requirements = Minimum Qualifications (must have). Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications (nice to have). Skills = Knowledge, Skills and Abilities. Thus: - About the role: Job Summary + maybe Why Join Us? But Why Join Us is more about environment; could be part of About the role. We'll include it there. - Responsibilities: bullet list. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications list. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list. - Skills: Knowledge, Skills and Abilities list. - Benefits: description of benefits package and link. - Pay: salary range and details. - Schedule: work location, onsite, occasional evenings/weekends. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Now format: Use

for each section heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details like "full-time Postdoctoral Fellow position is available in the laboratory of Professor Dan LaBarbera, PhD, within the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus." etc. We need to not repeat job title as heading. So no heading with the title. We need to not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can drop them. We need to remove duplicated lines. Let's craft. First, About the role: combine Job Summary and Why Join Us (environment). Let's write a paragraph(s). Job Summary: "A full-time Postdoctoral Fellow position is available in the laboratory of Professor Dan LaBarbera, PhD, within the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. We are seeking a highly motivated scientist with strong expertise in in vivo pharmacology, preclinical oncology, and mouse therapeutic efficacy studies to contribute to a federally funded translational research program focused on the preclinical development of novel small-molecule therapeutics for colorectal cancer.

Now Benefits: Paragraph: "The University of Colorado offers a comprehensive benefits package. To see what benefits are available for Post-Doctoral Fellows, please visit: Payroll & Benefits Orientation for Post-Doctoral Fellows | University of Colorado (CU.edu) Benefits Guide for Post-Doctoral Fellows (CU.edu)". We'll make that a paragraph with maybe a link? But we cannot add HTML anchor? We can include plain text URLs. It's okay. Now Pay: Paragraph: "Anticipated Pay Range: The starting salary range for this position has been established as HIRING RANGE: $63,480 to $77,076. Starting salary will be commensurate with relevant experience and is based on the current NIH NRSA postdoctoral stipend scale. Additional salary flexibility may be considered for an exceptionally qualified candidate, subject to University policy, internal equity, and available funding. The above salary range represents the University’s good faith and reasonable estimate of the range of possible compensation at the time of posting. This position is not eligible for overtime compensation unless it is non-exempt. Your total compensation goes beyond the number on your paycheck. The University of Colorado provides generous leave, health plans and retirement contributions that add to your bottom line. Total Compensation Calculator: http://www.cu.edu/node/153125" We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" but it's part of the description; we keep. Now Schedule: Paragraph: "Work Location: Onsite – This role is expected to work onsite and is located in Aurora, Colorado, at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Because animal pharmacology studies require treatment and monitoring according to experimental schedules, occasional work outside standard business hours, including evenings or weekends, may be required." Also Conditions of Employment mention regular onsite work with research animals and participation in applicable institutional animal-care, training, and occupational-health programs. Experimental schedules may require work outside standard business hours, including evenings and weekends. We can incorporate that into Schedule section as well. Let's combine: "Work Location: Onsite – Aurora, Colorado, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The position requires regular onsite work with research animals and participation in institutional animal-care, training, and occupational-health
