Postdoctoral Scholar

We need to output HTML fragment with 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. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, etc. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Position: Postdoctoral Scholar (NOAA ESLR Postdoctoral Scholar) - Department: AAH Earth Environment and Planning Department - Location: Greenville, NC, USA - Salary: Hourly Salary Rate/Range $57,132 - $63,480 (that's annual? It says hourly but numbers look like annual salary. We'll keep as given.) - Position Type: Temporary Staff, Full time, FTE 1.0 - Number of Vacancies: 1 - Primary Purpose of Position: postdoctoral scholar responsible for independent and collaborative development, implementation, and analysis of scientific research in the discipline of coastal engineering and adaptation alternatives including living shorelines. Responsibilities include management of all aspects of coastal engineering analyses, including design of adaptation alternatives and modeling their effectiveness. Duties include: hypothesis development, literature review, collection of pilot data, report writing, and supervising of undergraduate research students and graduate research students, overseeing data collection procedures, supervising experimental procedures, developing engineering designs for adaptation alternatives, setting up, calibrating, and running numerical models to test various alternatives, review of data for quality control, supervision of data entry/data analysis, analysis of research hypothesis using descriptive and multivariate statistics, and the development of independent and collaborative presentations and publications. Approximately 90% of time on coastal engineering analyses and assessments of hazard adaptation alternatives at 3-5 sites in eastern NC. Approximately 10% managing day-to-day activity of undergraduate and graduate research students in the laboratory. Scholars expected to demonstrate compliance with guidelines and regulatory standards for research including biosafety, responsible conduct of research and human subjects training. - Minimum Education, Knowledge, Skills, And Experience: PhD in integrated coastal sciences, coastal engineering, or a related discipline; English Proficiency: Excellent written and oral communication skills; License or Certification Required by Statute or Regulation: None; License or Certification Required by the Department: None. - Preferred Education, Knowledge, Skills, And Experience: Experience with field data collection of the hydrodynamic aspects of living shoreline and other coastal hazard structures; Experience with North Carolina coastal and estuarine environments; Experience with coastal engineering theories and analyses; Experience in ecological and drone-based remote-sensing monitoring assessments of living shorelines. - Additional info: Temporary appointment limited to max period of five years, including any periods already completed in any ECU Postdoctoral Scholar position. Work Authorization Notice: Applicants eligible for J-1, F-1 OPT or STEMOPT welcome; cannot provide nonimmigrant sponsorship such as H-1B. - Benefits: The posting mentions "Eligible employees also benefit from a comprehensive benefits package that promotes a healthy work-life balance." That's a generic statement but it's specific enough? It says "comprehensive benefits package". That is substantive? It's not detailed but it's a statement about benefits. According to rules, we should include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. It does state "comprehensive benefits package". That's enough to include a Benefits section with that sentence. - Pay: Salary range given. - Schedule: Not explicitly stated besides full time. Could infer full-time schedule but not given explicit hours. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Schedule not stated explicitly; only "Full time or Part time: Full Time". That's a schedule indication (full-time). Might be enough to include Schedule section with "Full-time". However the rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state "Full time or Part time: Full Time". So we can include Schedule with that. - About the role: Could be a summary of the position purpose. The posting includes "Primary Purpose of Position" and also some introductory paragraphs about ECU. We need to avoid boilerplate like "Be a Pirate! Be a Pirate!" and repeated paragraphs. We should keep substantive info about the role: purpose, department, location, etc. The "About the role" section could contain the Primary Purpose of Position and maybe department info. - Responsibilities: Already detailed. - Requirements: Minimum education etc. - Qualifications: Could be preferred qualifications? Usually Qualifications includes both minimum and preferred? But we have separate sections: Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). Or we could combine. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide what goes where. We have: - About the role: brief description of role, department, location, maybe purpose. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: Minimum Education, Knowledge, Skills, And Experience. - Qualifications: Preferred Education, Knowledge, Skills, And Experience. - Skills: Could extract specific skills from responsibilities? But we already have skills in requirements/qualifications. Might be redundant. Better to not create Skills section unless there is explicit skills list. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading. We could omit Skills. - Benefits: mention comprehensive benefits package. - Pay: Salary range. - Schedule: Full-time. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

. Use headings for sections. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from responsibilities, requirements, preferred qualifications, etc. Not summarizing away detail like "approximately 90%" etc must be kept. We must remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, etc. Also remove repeated paragraphs like "Be a Pirate! Be a Pirate!" and the long ECU description that appears twice. We should keep only substantive info about the role, not generic university marketing unless it's part of the role description? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The ECU description about being a top public university etc is likely boilerplate/marketing; but it's also part of the posting. However it's not specific to the role; it's generic. Should we remove it? The instruction says remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. That description is likely boilerplate (university marketing). So we should remove it. Keep only role-specific info. Thus we will include: - About the role: maybe combine department, location, purpose. Let's extract: Department: AAH Earth Environment and Planning Department (also homepage https://earth.ecu.edu/). Location: Greenville, NC, USA. Primary Purpose of Position: The postdoctoral scholar is responsible for independent and collaborative development, implementation, and analysis of scientific research in the discipline of coastal engineering and adaptation alternatives including living shorelines. Responsibilities include management of all aspects of coastal engineering analyses, including design of adaptation alternatives and modeling their effectiveness. We could put that in About the role. But we also have a Responsibilities section with detailed duties list. Thus About the role could be a short paragraph: "The Postdoctoral Scholar will work in the Department of Earth, Environment and Planning at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC, focusing on coastal engineering and adaptation alternatives including living shorelines." That's derived but we must not invent or summarize away detail. However we are summarizing; but we need to preserve all substantive information. If we summarize, we might lose detail. The instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That suggests we should not summarize; we should keep the exact details. However we can still have a short paragraph that is not a summary but just a restatement of the purpose? The purpose is already given; we could put that verbatim in About the role. That would preserve detail. Thus About the role could contain the "Primary Purpose of Position" paragraph (maybe plus department and location). That is substantive. Responsibilities: list of duties as given. Requirements: Minimum Education, Knowledge, Skills, And Experience. Qualifications: Preferred Education, Knowledge, Skills, And Experience. Benefits: "Eligible employees also benefit from a comprehensive benefits package that promotes a healthy work-life balance." Pay: "Hourly Salary Rate/Range $57,132 - $63,480" Schedule: "Full time or Part time: Full Time" (or just "Full-time"). We also have other info like "Temporary appointment limited to a maximum period of five years, including any periods already completed in any ECU Postdoctoral Scholar position." That's substantive; where to put? Could be under About the role or Responsibilities? It's about the position duration. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "Appointment Details". But we only have allowed headings list; we could put it under About the role as additional prose. Also "Work Authorization Notice: Applicants who are eligible for J-1, F-1 OPT or STEMOPT are welcome to apply. Please note, however, that we are unable to provide nonimmigrant sponsorship such as H-1B for this position." That's also substantive; could be under About the role or maybe a separate section like "Eligibility". Not in allowed headings; we could incorporate into About the role. We must not include application instructions, so we omit the "Special Instructions to Applicant", "Additional Instructions to Applicant", "Supplemental Questions", "Documents Needed To Apply", etc. Also remove duplicated lines like the repeated "Be a Pirate! Be a Pirate!" and the repeated ECU description. Now we need to format. We'll produce:
