- Contact: Jeremy Brofft, Senior Academic Recruiter at xmf9ad@virginia.edu. Scientific inquiries: Dr. Shangming Tang, Assistant Professor — gvu7pk@virginia.edu.
- EEO boilerplate.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "How To Apply" and contact info? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should drop the "How To Apply" section, contact info, requisition number, etc. Also drop EEO statement.
We need to preserve substantive information: description of role, responsibilities, qualifications, maybe benefits, pay, schedule? Pay: "Salary will be commensurate with education and experience." That's vague; we should not include Pay section if it's just "commensurate with experience" because that's placeholder? The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting says "Salary will be commensurate with education and experience." That's placeholder; we should not create Pay section. Benefits: "This is an exempt-level, benefited position. Learn more about UVA benefits." That's vague but indicates benefits exist. However "Learn more about UVA benefits" is a reference; not specific benefits listed. The rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state it's a benefited position, but not details. Might be considered substantive enough? The rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state it's a benefited position, but not details. I'd argue we can include a Benefits section with that statement? But it's somewhat generic. However they said "Learn more about UVA benefits." That's not specific. I'd lean to omit Benefits section because it's not specific details. Similarly Schedule: posting says "This is a 12-month appointment with the possibility of renewal (for an additional two, one-year increments) contingent upon satisfactory performance and the availability of funding." That's schedule info (term length). Could be considered schedule. It's specific: 12-month appointment, possible renewal. So we could include a Schedule section with that info. However rule: never create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does state term length. So we can include Schedule.
Responsibilities: The posting includes description of research focus, duties: "Full-time research or scholarship at the University. Preparatory for a full-time academic or research career. Supervised by a senior scholar, and allows the appointee to publish the results of his/her research or scholarship. In addition to the above job responsibilities, other duties may be assigned." That's responsibilities.
Qualifications: Doctoral degree, preferably PhD in specific fields, first-author publication(s) in high-impact journals, prior experience with live-cell imaging, genomics, protein expression/purification preferred.
Skills: Could be inferred from qualifications: live-cell imaging, genomics, protein expression/purification. But we should only create Skills section if posting has specific content. It does mention those experiences as preferred. Could treat as Skills.
About the role: Could be a summary of the role: The Tang Lab seeking Postdoctoral Research Associate with background in cellular and molecular biology, research focus etc. That could be About the role.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So we will not have a heading for "Postdoctoral Research Associate". Use sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule maybe. Benefits? Might omit.

We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like research interests list, etc.
Let's extract substantive content:
About the role: The Tang Lab at the University of Virginia School of Medicine is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate with a background in cellular and molecular biology. Our research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of R-loop regulation, DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs), and their contributions to genome instability in cancer and congenital human disorders. Current Research Interests Include: R-loop biology and transcription-replication conflicts (TRCs); DNA-protein crosslink (DPC) formation, repair, and consequences; Genome instability mechanisms in cancer and congenital disorders; Development of novel tools for locus-specific chromatin and R-loop interrogation. Our ultimate goal is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which R-loops and DPCs drive genome instability — with the potential to inform the development of novel therapeutics for related human diseases. For more information, visit the Tang Lab website: https://med.virginia.edu/bmg/research/tang-lab/
That's a lot of prose.
Responsibilities: Full-time research or scholarship at the University. Preparatory for a full-time academic or research career. Supervised by a senior scholar, and allows the appointee to publish the results of his/her research or scholarship. In addition to the above job responsibilities, other duties may be assigned.
We could make a list: - Conduct full-time research or scholarship. - Prepare for academic/research career. - Work under supervision of senior scholar. - Publish research results. - Perform other assigned duties.
But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; we can keep as prose or list. Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a list.
Qualifications: Doctoral degree, preferably PhD in Cell Biology, Genetics and Genomics, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a related Biomedical Science discipline. First-author publication(s) in high-impact peer-reviewed journals and prior experience with live-cell imaging, genomics, and/or protein expression and purification is preferred.
We could list: - Doctoral degree (PhD preferred) in Cell Biology, Genetics and Genomics, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or related Biomedical Science. - First-author publication(s) in high-impact peer-reviewed journals. - Prior experience with live-cell imaging, genomics, and/or protein expression and purification (preferred).
Skills: Could be same as qualifications? Might be redundant. Perhaps we can combine qualifications and skills; but we need sections only if posting has real specific content. The posting mentions "prior experience with live-cell imaging, genomics, and/or protein expression and purification is preferred." That's more skill-based. Could create Skills section listing those techniques.
Schedule: Postdoctoral employment is normally limited to an individual who has been awarded a doctoral degree within the previous five years. This is a 12-month appointment with the possibility of renewal (for an additional two, one-year increments) contingent upon satisfactory performance and the availability of funding. This position is based in Charlottesville, VA, and must be performed fully on-site.
We can list: - Appointment length: 12 months, renewable up to two additional one-year increments based on performance and funding. - Eligibility: doctoral degree awarded within past five years. - Location: Charlottesville, VA, fully on-site.
We should not include Pay section.
We should not include Benefits section (since not specific). Could we include a brief statement about benefits? The posting says "This is an exempt-level, benefited position. Learn more about UVA benefits." That's not specific benefits; better to omit.
We also need to include maybe "About UVA And The Community" but that's boilerplate? It's a link to learn more about UVA and Charlottesville area. Might be considered extra but not essential. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About UVA And The Community" is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered extra info. However it's not a core job description; but it's substantive? It's a link to learn more about UVA and community. Might be considered extra but not required. Safer to omit.
Also "Additional Requirements Background checks and pre-employment health screenings will be conducted on all new hires prior to employment." That's a requirement; we could include under Qualifications or Requirements. Could add a Requirement: background check and health screening.
We have a section "Requirements" maybe for such items. The posting includes "Additional Requirements". So we can create a Requirements section with bullet: - Background check and pre-employment health screening required.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't create empty sections.
