Postdoctoral Research Fellow Aug 2026

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes introductory paragraph: "When you join the growing BILH team, you're not just taking a job, you're making a difference in people's lives." Then description of candidate: "Has been awarded or has completed the requirements for a doctoral degree or foreign equivalent. Is a trainee pursuing advanced studies beyond the doctoral level in preparation for an independent career in a biomedical field. In collaboration with and under the mentorship of the Principle Investigator (PI), a Research Fellow engages in activities that will further his or her professional development." That's about the role. Then "Job Description Primary Responsibilities:" list of responsibilities. Then "Required Qualifications" with bullet points? It's a paragraph: "Doctoral Degree or M.D.0-1 year of postdoctoral research experience in academic or industrial lab setting, and/or teaching assistantship in a university setting, and/or residency, and/or clinical duties beyond that of the qualifying doctoral degree." Then "Competencies" list. Then "Physical Nature Of The Job" description. Then "Pay Range $60,000.00 USD - $75,564.00 USD" plus explanation. Then other paragraphs about vaccination, etc. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes "Equal Opportunity Employer/Veterans/Disabled" at end – remove. Also "As a health care organization, we have a responsibility to do everything in our power to care for and protect our patients, our colleagues and our communities. Beth Israel Lahey Health requires that all staff be vaccinated against influenza (flu) as a condition of employment. More than 35,000 people working together. Nurses, doctors, technicians, therapists, researchers, teachers and more, making a difference in patients' lives. Your skill and compassion can make us even stronger." This is not boilerplate? It's organizational description; we can keep as part of About the role maybe. It's substantive. We need sections: Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include a section only when posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role (intro). Responsibilities (list). Qualifications (Doctoral Degree or M.D... plus experience). Competencies could be Skills? The posting lists competencies: Decision Making, Problem Solving, Independence of Action, Written Communications, Oral Communications, Knowledge, Team Work, Customer Service. Those are skills/competencies. So we can put Skills section. Pay section: we have Pay Range. Schedule: not mentioned. So omit. Benefits: not mentioned besides vaccination requirement? Not a benefit. So omit. Requirements vs Qualifications: The posting has "Required Qualifications" and then "Competencies". Could treat Required Qualifications as Requirements section. Then Skills as Competencies. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For responsibilities list, each item is a sentence with "(essential)" maybe keep that text. For qualifications list, it's a paragraph but could be turned into list? It's a single sentence with multiple options separated by commas and "and/or". Might be better as

  . But rule: use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The qualifications are a list of options; we could treat as list. However the instruction: "Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". So if we have a list of requirements, we should use ul/li. The qualifications sentence includes multiple items separated by commas and "and/or". We can split into list items: Doctoral Degree or M.D.; 0-1 year of postdoctoral research experience in academic or industrial lab setting; teaching assistantship in a university setting; residency; clinical duties beyond that of the qualifying doctoral degree. But the original says "Doctoral Degree or M.D.0-1 year of postdoctoral research experience..." Actually there is a missing space: "Doctoral Degree or M.D.0-1 year". Probably means Doctoral Degree or M.D.; 0-1 year of postdoctoral research experience... We'll interpret as two main options: Doctoral Degree or M.D.; and 0-1 year of postdoctoral research experience... plus/or teaching assistantship... etc. Safer to keep as paragraph? But rule says use ul/li for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The qualifications are requirements. So we should make a list. We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent. Splitting into list items may be okay as long as we don't lose meaning. We'll keep the exact phrases. Let's extract: - Doctoral Degree or M.D. - 0-1 year of postdoctoral research experience in academic or industrial lab setting - teaching assistantship in a university setting - residency - clinical duties beyond that of the qualifying doctoral degree But note the original: "Doctoral Degree or M.D.0-1 year of postdoctoral research experience in academic or industrial lab setting, and/or teaching assistantship in a university setting, and/or residency, and/or clinical duties beyond that of the qualifying doctoral degree." It seems the first part "Doctoral Degree or M.D." then "0-1 year of postdoctoral research experience..." as another option. So we can list as above. Now Responsibilities list: each bullet is a sentence ending with "(essential)" or not. We'll keep the text including "(essential)" where present. List items: - Abides by the institutional policies of BIDMC relating to health and safety, equality of opportunity and data storage and management. (essential) - As a member of the research team, actively pursues research under the supervision of a principal investigator while developing skills for independent work. (essential) - Receives training in and performs duties contributing to the investigational work of the team including formulation of research questions and design, conduct of experiments, and evaluation of results. (essential) - Prepares and publishes scientific manuscripts under direction of PI. (essential) - Develops expertise in desired lab skills/informatics/ physics/clinical research. (no essential?) - Develops proficiency with research tools and equipment. (no essential?) - Develops ability to work with more independence as the fellowship progresses (essential) - Develops new ideas that promote current research; brings new expertise to the research program. (essential) - teaching skills and provide supervision of students and their projects when appropriate. (essential) (Note: starts lower case; keep as is) - Engages in collaborative meetings with other research groups. Attends and leads scientific seminars. (essential) - Learns to identify, acknowledge and correct deficiencies in one's own performance. (essential) - Under the direction of PI, pursues/secures independent funding near the end of the fellowship. (essential) Now Skills (Competencies) list: each bullet is a competency description. List items: - Decision Making: Ability to make decisions that are guided by general instructions and practices requiring some interpretation. May make recommendations for solving problems of moderate complexity and importance. - Problem Solving: Ability to address problems that are varied, requiring analysis or interpretation of the situation using direct observation, knowledge and skills based on general precedents. - Independence of Action: Ability to follow precedents and procedures.

Resolves service issues in the assigned unit(s) in a timely and respectful manner. Now About the role: combine introductory paragraph and description of candidate and organizational description. Paragraphs: "When you join the growing BILH team, you're not just taking a job, you're making a difference in people's lives." "Has been awarded or has completed the requirements for a doctoral degree or foreign equivalent. Is a trainee pursuing advanced studies beyond the doctoral level in preparation for an independent career in a biomedical field. In collaboration with and under the mentorship of the Principle Investigator (PI), a Research Fellow engages in activities that will further his or her professional development." "As a health care organization, we have a responsibility to do everything in our power to care for and protect our patients, our colleagues and our communities. Beth Israel Lahey Health requires that all staff be vaccinated against influenza (flu) as a condition of employment. More than 35,000 people working together. Nurses, doctors, technicians, therapists, researchers, teachers and more, making a difference in patients' lives. Your skill and compassion can make us even stronger." We can combine into one or multiple

      . Use

      for prose. Now Pay section: include the pay range and explanation. Paragraph: "Pay Range $60,000.00 USD - $75,564.00 USD The pay range listed for this position is the annual base salary range the organization reasonably and in good faith expects to pay for this position at this time. Actual compensation is determined based on several factors, that may include seniority, education, training, relevant experience, relevant certifications, geography of work location, job responsibilities, or other applicable factors permissible by law." We can keep as one

      . Physical Nature Of The Job: we could include as a section? Not in allowed headings list; we have Benefits, Pay, Schedule, etc. Physical nature not listed; maybe we could put under Requirements? But rule: only use those headings. We could omit Physical Nature if not matching any heading. However we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we omit, we lose info. But we could incorporate into Requirements or About the role? It's about physical demands; could be part of Requirements? Not exactly. The allowed headings are limited; we cannot create new headings. We could maybe put it under Requirements as a list item? But it's not a requirement; it's a description of physical nature. Could we put it under About the role? Might be okay to include as a paragraph within About the role? The rule: "Use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should use those headings. It also says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we must use only those headings; we cannot add other headings like Physical Nature. So we need to fit that info into one of those sections. Where does physical nature belong? Possibly under Requirements (as a job requirement) or under About the role (job description). I'd put it under Requirements as a bullet maybe. But the rule says use

      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Physical nature is a requirement (job demand). So we can add a list item under Requirements. Thus Requirements section will include both the qualifications list and physical nature? Might be mixing. Better to separate: Requirements for qualifications, and maybe we can add a sublist? But we can't have nested headings. We could just include physical nature as another list item in Requirements. Thus Requirements
        • items: the qualifications options and physical nature description. But we must not lose the qualifications list meaning. We'll include them as list items
