for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, scam-warning, application instructions. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to decide which sections to include: Position Summary/Overview (maybe "About the role" heading). Responsibilities (list). Qualifications (list). Preferred Experience (maybe part of Qualifications? Could be separate "Preferred qualifications" but we can include as part of Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map: About the role = Position Summary/Overview. Responsibilities = Essential Duties And Responsibilities. Qualifications = Qualifications (Doctoral degree etc). Skills maybe not separate; we could include programming skills under Qualifications. Benefits: none given. Pay: we have compensation salary range. Schedule: not given (maybe hybrid work arrangements). Could include Work Environment as maybe "Work Arrangements" but not in list; but we could include "Work Environment" as a section if content present. However instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine Work Environment into About the role or Responsibilities? Probably better to have a section "Work Environment" if we have content. But the allowed headings list does not include Work Environment; but we can still use any heading? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive; we could still use other headings but better to stick to those. Work Environment maybe not needed; we could incorporate hybrid work info into About the role or Responsibilities? Probably better to include a "Work Arrangements" but not in list; maybe we can omit.
We have Employer Description and About The Mount Sinai Health System which is boilerplate; we should remove as per instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Employer Description is likely boilerplate; we should drop.
Compensation: we have salary range; we should include a Pay section with that info.
Thus sections: About the role (Position Summary/Overview), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay.
We need to preserve all substantive information: include details from Position Summary/Overview, Responsibilities (list), Qualifications (list), Preferred Experience maybe incorporate into Qualifications? But we could add a separate "Preferred qualifications" but not in list; maybe we can include under Qualifications as sublist? However we must not invent headings; we could keep Qualifications heading and include both required and preferred qualifications as part of that section (list). That would preserve all.
Pay: include salary range.
We must not include headings with filler text. All sections have real content.
Now format: Use for each heading. Then content: either
for prose or
- for lists.
For About the role: we have a paragraph(s). We'll combine into one
maybe multiple sentences; but we can keep as one
with line breaks? Probably okay.
Responsibilities: list of duties (the bullet list after "Essential Duties And Responsibilities"). We'll output
- each duty.
Qualifications: we have Doctoral degree etc list; also Preferred Experience list; also Education And Experience (similar to Doctoral degree). We'll combine into a single list? Might be redundant. Better to separate required qualifications and preferred experience as separate lists under same heading? Could do two
under same heading. That's fine.
Pay: with salary range.
We must not include any extra text like "Job ID". Also remove duplicated lines.
Let's extract content.
Position Summary/Overview text:
"The Department of Population Health Science and Policy at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Fellow to work with Dr. Katharine McCarthy on the NIH-funded ASPIRE (Adolescent School Policy Interventions for caRdiovascular Equity) study. The project examines how school environments and policies shape adolescent cardiovascular health and future maternal health outcomes. Working with Dr. McCarthy and a multidisciplinary team—including systems science investigators, epidemiologists, qualitative researchers, community stakeholders, and collaborators at the New York City Office of School Health—the fellow will conduct longitudinal analyses of school environmental features, adolescent cardiovascular health trajectories, and later maternal health outcomes. The fellow will integrate these findings with published evidence and participatory group model-building results to develop, implement, calibrate, validate, and apply empirically grounded agent-based models. These models will estimate the long-term population health and health equity effects of school-based interventions and help identify strategies to improve cardiovascular health across the life course. This position offers opportunities for manuscript publication, conference presentations, interdisciplinary collaboration, and mentorship in systems science, adolescent cardiovascular health, maternal health, implementation science."
That's the prose.
Responsibilities list:
1) highly motivated and intellectually curious;
2) experienced in computational or simulation modeling;
3) an effective scientific communicator;
4) organized and detail-oriented;
5) able to work independently while collaborating within a multidisciplinary team;
6) committed to reproducible, policy-relevant population health research.
Then "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" bullet list:
- Develop and implement agent-based models of adolescent cardiovascular health trajectories and later maternal health outcomes using NetLogo or a comparable simulation platform.
- Translate findings from longitudinal epidemiologic analyses, qualitative research, participatory group model building, and the scientific literature into model structure, assumptions, decision rules, and policy scenarios.
- Simulate intervention and counterfactual scenarios to estimate the effects of school-based policies on adolescent cardiovascular health, maternal morbidity, and racial/ethnic disparities.
- Conduct model calibration, verification, validation, uncertainty analysis, and sensitivity analysis.
- Document model assumptions, structure, and implementation using established reporting frameworks such as ODD and TRACE and relevant ISPOR/SMDM guidance.
- Develop reproducible workflows, maintain well-documented code, and use version control platforms such as GitHub.
- Contribute to collaborative manuscripts, abstracts, conference presentations, and policy-facing products.
- Participate in meetings with investigators, advisory board members, adolescents, school stakeholders, and community partners to refine model assumptions and interpret results.
Note: The first set (1)-6) seems like "The ideal candidate will be:" which is more like qualifications but they placed under Responsibilities heading. We'll treat them as part of Responsibilities? Actually they are under "Responsibilities" heading in the posting: "The ideal candidate will be: 1) ... 6) ..." then "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" list. So we should include both as responsibilities? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can combine all bullet points into a single list under Responsibilities. Or we could split into two lists but still under same heading. We'll just make one list with all items.
Qualifications list:
- Doctoral degree in Systems Science, Computational Social Science, Epidemiology, Public Health, Biostatistics, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Operations Research, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field.
- Demonstrated experience developing agent-based models, microsimulation models, system dynamics models, or other complex simulation models.
- Strong programming skills in NetLogo and/or another relevant language or platform, such as R or Python.
- Strong quantitative, analytic, scientific writing, and oral communication skills.
- Ability to work proactively and independently while contributing effectively to a multidisciplinary research team.
- Interest in adolescent health, cardiovascular disease prevention, maternal and child health, school policy, implementation science, or health equity.
Preferred Experience:
- Experience working with longitudinal, multilevel, administrative, electronic health record, or other large population-based datasets.
- Familiarity with causal inference, multilevel modeling, life-course epidemiology, or health policy evaluation.
- Experience integrating qualitative or stakeholder-engaged findings into computational models.
- Peer-reviewed publication record demonstrating independent scientific productivity.
- Experience with collaborative software development, code review, and open or reproducible science practices.
Education And Experience:
- PhD, ScD, DrPH, or equivalent doctoral degree in a relevant quantitative or population health discipline. Candidates who are completing their doctoral degree may be considered if all degree requirements will be completed before the start date.
This is similar to first qualification; we can merge.
We'll produce a Qualifications section with two lists: maybe "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Experience" as subheadings? But we cannot add extra headings not in list? Could use
but not allowed? The instruction only mentions for section headings; we could still use inside but maybe better to keep simple: one Qualifications section with two lists, maybe preceded by a indicating required and preferred. But we must not invent filler text. We could just combine all into one list; but that would mix required and preferred, losing distinction but still preserving all info. That's acceptable as we preserve all substantive information (just not labeling). The instruction didn't require to keep distinction. So we can combine all bullet points into one list under Qualifications.
Pay: salary range: "$72500 - $80000 Annually." Also note: "Actual salaries depend on a variety of factors, including experience, education, and operational need. The salary range or contractual rate listed does not include bonuses/incentive, differential pay or other forms of compensation or benefits." We should include that as prose.
