Postdoctoral Research Associate

We need to output HTML fragment only, with headings

for 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. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Hiring Department: UICOMP-Medicine Location: Peoria, IL USA (metadata) - Requisition ID: 1043106 (metadata) - Salary: $63,000 to $70,000 per year (Pay) - The University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria (UICOMP) seeks candidates for the position(s) of Postdoc Research Associate in the Medicine Department. (intro) - About The University Of Illinois College Of Medicine Peoria (duplicate) but we have description: It's a regional campus, small class sizes, exceptional faculty mentorship, etc. Provide details: serves 45k patients, 260 students, 300 residents/fellows, partners, R1 research institute focusing on Alzheimer dementia and oncology. Also link. - This position is intended to be eligible for benefits. This includes Health, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, a Retirement Plan, Paid time Off, and Tuition waivers for employees and dependents. (Benefits) - Position Summary: description of role. - Duties & Responsibilities: long list. - Minimum Qualifications: Education, Experience, Other Skills/Knowledge. - Preferred Qualifications: list. - Salary repeated: budgeted salary range $63,000 to $70,000 per year. Salary is competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience, while also considering internal equity. (Pay) - Additional metadata: equal opportunity, etc. Remove. We need sections: About the role? The posting has "About The University Of Illinois College Of Medicine Peoria". That's about the institution, not exactly "About the role". But we could treat that as "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings as appropriate. We have: - About the role: could be Position Summary (description of role). Or we could combine About the institution? Probably "About the role" corresponds to Position Summary. - Responsibilities: Duties & Responsibilities. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (Education, Experience, Other Skills/Knowledge). Could be Requirements. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications? Or we could have Qualifications section for both minimum and preferred? But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we combine Minimum Qualifications under "Requirements" and Preferred Qualifications under "Qualifications". Or we could have "Requirements" for minimum, "Qualifications" for preferred. Skills: maybe we could extract skills from Other Skills/Knowledge and Preferred Qualifications? But we already have those covered. Benefits: we have benefits list. Pay: salary range. Schedule: not mentioned; do not include. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". For Pay we have actual numbers, so include. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them as lists or paragraphs. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

Postdoc Research Associate

. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can drop them or fold into short

. Probably drop them. We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So remove lines about applying, deadlines, equal opportunity, accommodation, AI tools, etc. We must preserve all substantive information: that includes description of institution, position summary, duties, responsibilities, qualifications (minimum and preferred), benefits, pay. We need to ensure we don't lose any substantive detail. Let's extract. Institution description: "The University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria (UICOMP) is a regional campus of one of the largest public medical schools in the United States. We are known for having small class sizes and exceptional faculty mentorship. This allows UICOMP students to excel under a rigorous curriculum. In collaboration with our hospitals and clinical partners, UICOMP Faculty members provide care to more than 45,000 patients each year. In addition, they contribute to medical education and training for more than 260 students, and more than 300 physician residents and fellows annually. UICOMP healthcare partners include Jump Simulation, a world-class leader in healthcare simulation and innovation, along with OSF Saint Medical Center, OSF Children’s Hospital of Illinois and Carle Hearth Greater Peoria. UICOMP is also part of a R1 research institute with translational research focusing on Alzheimer dementia and oncology.

We should keep that as a paragraph under About the role? Or maybe under About the role we put position summary; but we also have institution description. Could we have two sections: About the role (position summary) and About the institution? But only allowed headings list; we could put institution description under About the role as well, but that might be mixing. However instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. Likely they expect us to use those headings where appropriate. We could use About the role for position summary, and maybe we could add another heading like "About the Institution" but not in list; better to stick to allowed headings. Could we incorporate institution description into About the role? The role description includes the institution context; it's okay. Thus About the role section will contain both position summary and institution description? Might be lengthy but okay. Responsibilities: Duties & Responsibilities. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (Education, Experience, Other Skills/Knowledge). We'll need to preserve all details. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications. Skills: maybe we could extract skills from Other Skills/Knowledge and Preferred Qualifications? But we already have those in Requirements and Qualifications. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we don't need Skills section if we already covered skills in Requirements and Qualifications. But we could still include Skills if we have specific skill list not covered elsewhere. However we have "Other Skills / Knowledge:" under Minimum Qualifications, and many skills in Preferred Qualifications. So we could omit Skills section. Benefits: list. Pay: salary range. Schedule: not present, omit. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown. We'll produce something like:

About the role

... institution description ...

Position Summary: ...

But we need to avoid repeating "Position Summary:" as heading; we can just include as paragraph. Better to separate paragraphs for readability. Responsibilities:

Responsibilities

• ... each duty ...

We need to split the long duties into list items. The duties are many sentences; we can break each sentence into a list item. We must preserve all substantive information; not summarizing away detail. So we need to include each duty as a list item, preserving the text. Similarly for Requirements: we need to list Education, Experience, Other Skills/Knowledge. Could be

• Education: ...
• Experience: ...
• Other Skills/Knowledge: ...
but inside each we may need further detail. Could keep as paragraphs. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications: list each bullet. Benefits: list. Pay:

Salary: $63,000 to $70,000 per year.

We must not include filler like "Salary is competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience, while also considering internal equity." That's somewhat filler but still substantive? It's a statement about salary being competitive etc. Might be considered filler but it's not a placeholder like "commensurate with experience". However it's somewhat generic. The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". The phrase "Salary is competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience, while also considering internal equity." includes "commensurate with qualifications and experience". That's similar to the example. Might be considered filler. Safer to omit that sentence and just give the range. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; does that sentence count as substantive? It's somewhat generic but still info about salary philosophy. However the example of filler includes "commensurate with experience". So likely they want to avoid that phrase. I'd omit that sentence. Similarly, we should omit lines like "This position is intended to be eligible for benefits." That's filler? It's substantive because it says benefits eligible. But we already list benefits. Could keep. We need to remove application instructions, EEO, etc. Now let's extract details precisely. Institution description paragraph: we have it. Position Summary: "The Postdoctoral Research Associate is a doctoral-level laboratory scientist who participates in the design, execution, and interpretation of translational cancer research under the mentorship of the Principal Investigator (PI). The research program focuses on the role of the microbiota and bacterial extracellular vesicles (bEVs) in shaping anti-tumor immunity and the response to cancer immunotherapy, with particular emphasis on lung cancer. The incumbent will independently conduct molecular, biochemical, and cellular biology experiments, bacterial and primary cell culture, and in vivo animal studies; will analyze, present, and publish resulting data; and will play a central role in generating the preliminary and supporting data required for the PI's extramural grant applications. Independent scientific judgment, doctoral-level training, rigorous documentation, and effective collaboration within a team-based laboratory environment are required." We'll keep that as paragraph(s). Duties & Responsibilities: list each sentence as a bullet. Let's copy the duties text: "Designs and executes in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo experiments investigating the microbiota and bacterial extracellular vesicles in anti-tumor immunity and immunotherapy response, with an emphasis on lung cancer, independently and in collaboration with the PI, other postdoctoral scholars, graduate students, and research staff.
