We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes description of lab, role, responsibilities, qualifications, etc. No explicit Pay, Benefits, Schedule. So we should not include those sections. We need to use

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. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove contact instructions? The instructions say: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." Also "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the contact instructions? The contact instructions are application instructions: "To apply for this position, send a C.V., Description of Research Interests, Outline of Career Aspirations and the contact information of 3 referees to: ..." That's application instructions, should be removed. Also the lines about "We are committed to a human-centered hiring experience..." etc are boilerplate/EEO, should be removed. Also "St. Jude is an Equal Opportunity Employer No Search Firms ..." also boilerplate, remove. We need to keep substantive info: description of lab, what they do, what postdoc will do, ideal candidate qualifications, etc. Also maybe a short paragraph about contact? No, we drop contact. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe a summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Could combine some. The posting includes: "The Solecki Lab is building imaging-based biosensor platforms..." that's about the lab and role. Then "We are looking for postdoctoral fellows who do not simply want to perform experiments but wants to help build the experimental framework..." that's about role. Then description of what postdoc will carry out: independent research projects, use live-cell biosensors, advanced microscopy, neuronal differentiation systems, acute perturbations, quantitative image analysis... aim to develop new experimental approaches... Successful fellows will have opportunity to define a major project... work closely with PI and interdisciplinary team... generate first-author publications, present at meetings, build scientific identity... Join supportive multi-disciplinary lab... You will be on ground floor... exposure to cutting-edge imaging technologies... etc. Then "The Ideal Candidate will have:" list of qualifications: PhD in cell biology, biophysics, gene regulation, neuroscience or related discipline; Prior experience in live-cell imaging, super-resolution microscopy, and/or imaging probe development; Familiarity with programming languages (e.g. R, Python) for data analysis; Strong record of peer-reviewed publications; Ability to independently design and execute experiments and interpret data; Ability for cogent experimental preparation, validation, documentation, and troubleshooting. Then there is a prompt for cover letter: "In your cover letter, please describe one experimental system, assay, protocol, or project that you personally helped build or improve..." That's part of application instructions, should be removed. Thus we can have sections: About the role (maybe a paragraph summarizing lab and role), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe qualifications), Skills (maybe programming, etc). But we need to avoid duplication. Let's think: The posting includes responsibilities: carry out independent research projects, use live-cell biosensors, advanced microscopy, neuronal differentiation systems, acute perturbations, quantitative image analysis; develop new experimental approaches (probes, assays, imaging strategies, perturbation methods); define a major project within lab's broader effort; work closely with PI and interdisciplinary team; develop high-risk, high-reward experiments; generate first-author publications; present at meetings; build scientific identity; etc. Qualifications: PhD in relevant discipline; prior experience in live-cell imaging, super-resolution microscopy, imaging probe development; familiarity with programming languages for data analysis; strong record of peer-reviewed publications; ability to independently design/execute experiments and interpret data; ability for cogent experimental preparation, validation, documentation, troubleshooting. Skills could be programming languages, microscopy, probe development, etc. But we can combine qualifications and skills into one section "Requirements" or "Qualifications". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include based on content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills. We could have About the role (paragraph), Responsibilities (ul), Requirements (ul) maybe split into education/experience and skills. But we must not create thin sections with filler. Let's see if we can combine qualifications and skills into one Requirements section. That would be substantive. Thus sections: About the role (p), Responsibilities (ul), Requirements (ul). No Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Postdoctoral Fellow". Good. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract details. About the role: The Solecki Lab is building imaging-based biosensor platforms that makes chromatin states and cell polarity decisions visible in living neurons and experimentally queryable as cell-biological systems. We are looking for postdoctoral fellows who do not simply want to perform experiments but wants to help build the experimental framework for understanding how cell biological transitions unfold as neurons mature and assemble into brain circuits......by watching these processes happen in real time. Are you a trainee who wants to be scientifically invested in defining cell states like chromatin organization or cell polarity beyond the limits of indirect molecular biology or biochemistry approaches? Postdoctoral researchers in the lab will carry out their own independent research projects and make use of live-cell biosensors, advanced microscopy, neuronal differentiation systems, acute perturbations, and quantitative image analysis in order to find out how intracellular state transitions are organized in developing neurons. The aim is not merely to apply existing tools, but to help in the development of new experimental approaches, including probes, assays, imaging strategies, and perturbation methods, that make previously invisible cell biological processes visible, measurable, and capable of being tested mechanistically. Successful fellows will have the opportunity to define a major project within the lab’s broader effort to understand neuronal maturation, chromatin-state dynamics, polarity transitions, nuclear organization, and circuit assembly. Fellows will work closely with the PI and an interdisciplinary team to develop high-risk, high-reward experiments, generate first-author publications, present at national and international meetings, and build a scientific identity at the interface of developmental neurobiology, live-cell imaging, biosensor engineering, and quantitative cell biology. Join a supportive multi-disciplinary lab comprised of biophysicists, optics experts, data scientists, cell-biologists and developmental neurobiologists that unravel how the brain is built during development. You will be on the ground floor of transformative biosensor platforms with exposure to cutting-edge imaging technologies like lattice light sheet or super-resolution platforms, data science core labs, and an unusually collaborative environment where new imaging probes, microscopy, and analytical methods converge on fundamental problems in brain development. That's a lot; we can keep as a paragraph or maybe split into multiple paragraphs but still under About the role. Responsibilities: list of duties: carry out own independent research projects; use live-cell biosensors, advanced microscopy, neuronal differentiation systems, acute perturbations, quantitative image analysis; find out how intracellular state transitions are organized in developing neurons; help develop new experimental approaches (probes, assays, imaging strategies, perturbation methods); define a major project within lab's broader effort to understand neuronal maturation, chromatin-state dynamics, polarity transitions, nuclear organization, circuit assembly; work closely with PI and interdisciplinary team to develop high-risk, high-reward experiments; generate first-author publications; present at national and international meetings; build scientific identity at interface of developmental neurobiology, live-cell imaging, biosensor engineering, quantitative cell biology. We could also include exposure to cutting-edge imaging technologies etc but that's more about environment. Requirements: PhD in cell biology, biophysics, gene regulation, neuroscience or related discipline; Prior experience in live-cell imaging, super-resolution microscopy, and/or imaging probe development; Familiarity with programming languages (e.g. R, Python) for data analysis; Strong record of peer-reviewed publications; Ability to independently design and execute experiments and interpret data; Ability for cogent experimental preparation, validation, documentation, and troubleshooting. We could also include "Ability to work in interdisciplinary team" but that's maybe implied. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, contact instructions, etc. Now produce HTML fragment:

    Make sure no extra whitespace? It's fine. We must not include any markdown fences. Just raw HTML. Let's craft the About the role paragraph concisely but preserving all substantive info. We need to preserve all substantive information; we cannot omit details. However we can combine sentences but must not lose info. Let's try to include all key points. Key points from About the role: - Solecki Lab building imaging-based biosensor platforms that makes chromatin states and cell polarity decisions visible in living neurons and experimentally queryable as cell-biological systems. - Looking for postdoctoral fellows who want to help build experimental framework for understanding how cell biological transitions unfold as neurons mature and assemble into brain circuits by watching these processes in real time. - Trainee who wants to be scientifically invested in defining cell states like chromatin organization or cell polarity beyond indirect molecular biology or biochemistry approaches. - Postdoctoral researchers will carry out own independent research projects and make use of live-cell biosensors, advanced microscopy, neuronal differentiation systems, acute perturbations, quantitative image analysis to find out how intracellular state transitions are organized in developing neurons. - Aim not merely to apply existing tools but to help develop new experimental approaches (probes, assays, imaging strategies, perturbation methods) that make previously invisible cell biological processes visible, measurable, capable of being tested mechanistically. - Successful fellows will have opportunity to define a major project within lab’s broader effort to understand neuronal maturation, chromatin-state dynamics, polarity transitions, nuclear organization, circuit assembly. - Fellows will work closely with PI and interdisciplinary team to develop high-risk, high-reward experiments, generate first-author publications, present at national and international meetings, build scientific identity at interface of developmental neurobiology, live-cell imaging, biosensor engineering, quantitative cell biology. - Join supportive multi-disciplinary lab comprised of biophysicists, optics experts, data scientists, cell-biologists and developmental neurobiologists that unravel how the brain is built during development. - You will be on ground floor of transformative biosensor platforms with exposure to cutting-edge imaging technologies like lattice light sheet or super-resolution platforms, data science core labs, and unusually collaborative environment where new imaging probes, microscopy, and analytical methods converge on fundamental problems in brain development. We need to keep all that. Could be a long paragraph but okay. Now Responsibilities list: we need to ensure we don't duplicate content from About the role. However some responsibilities overlap with description. But we can still list them as bullet points; it's okay if some overlap as long as we preserve all info. However we must avoid duplication of lines? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Duplicated lines likely means exact duplicate lines within the posting. We can have similar content but not exact duplicates. We'll try to phrase responsibilities distinct. Responsibilities bullet points: - Carry out independent research projects using live-cell biosensors, advanced microscopy, neuronal differentiation systems, acute perturbations, and quantitative image analysis. - Determine how intracellular state transitions are organized in developing neurons. - Develop new experimental approaches, including probes, assays, imaging strategies, and perturbation methods, to make previously invisible cell biological processes visible, measurable, and mechanistically testable. - Define a major project aligned with the lab’s goals in neuronal maturation, chromatin-state dynamics, polarity transitions, nuclear organization, and circuit assembly. - Collaborate with the PI and an interdisciplinary team to design high
