Postdoctoral Scholar, Neuroimaging, Health Physics and Diagnostic Sciences, School of Integrated Health Sciences [R0153454]
for each section heading. 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 keep details like specific tasks, technologies, etc.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So no heading "Postdoctoral Scholar, Neuroimaging". Use sections.
We need to drop Job ID etc. Also drop application instructions, EEO, etc.
Let's extract content.
From posting:
Job Description paragraph: "The University of Nevada, Las Vegas invites applications for Postdoctoral Scholar, Neuroimaging, Health Physics and Diagnostic Sciences, School of Integrated Health Sciences [R0153454] ROLE of the POSITION Responsibilities The Postdoctoral Scholar in Neuroimaging will report to Ayan Sengupta, Assistant Professor, Department of Health Physics and Diagnostic Sciences within the School of Integrated Health Sciences at UNLV.

The newly established UMIC facility further exemplifies UNLV’s mission as a Carnegie R1 institution, supporting high-impact, interdisciplinary research and creative activity."
Then responsibilities list: bullet points after "The responsibilities of this position will include, but will not be limited to, the following:" then a series of sentences separated by periods. We need to turn each into list items.
Let's extract responsibilities sentences:
- Conducting scientific research and development work in MRI projects.
- The candidate will be performing research in line with the PI’s research program.
- The scholar will also be encouraged to propose research that is interesting to them and demonstrate a certain level of independence in research endeavors.
- The postdoctoral scholar will also be one of the mentors to incoming graduate and undergraduate students in the group.
- The primary responsibility will be writing manuscripts, collecting and analyzing data, helping with grant proposal writing, and related tasks.
- Further development and practical implementation of innovative MRI acquisition and data analysis methods.
- Providing scientific and methodological support and consultation in the implementation of neuroscientific studies and the scientific processing and analysis of research data, as well as providing technical and methodological support to users and research groups at the UMIC in resolving methodological and technical issues.
- Developing and implementing suitable procedures for scientific data management on the High-Performance Computational Cluster.
- Participating in academic teaching and academic self-governance.
- The postdoctoral scholar will receive mentorship from the PI and the PI’s network in research, grant writing, manuscript preparation, research methodology, etc.
- There is a potential opportunity to initiate and conduct independent research projects in alignment with the PI’s research group at the UMIC.
- Running cutting-edge reproducible Neuroimaging Pipelines.
- The Postdoctoral Scholar’s research activities will involve the application of the following technologies and methodologies: 3 Tesla Siemens Prisma magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner with extensive equipment, peripheral physiological measurement devices, various systems for audio and video presentation through Nordic Neurolab Systems and potential functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).
- UHF-MRI Compatible piezoelectric vibrotactile stimulation devices and control systems.
- Dedicated MRI Data processing through High Performance Computational Cluster.
- Multimodal neurostimulation, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) through interdisciplinary collaborations.
- Behavioral measurements and physiological recordings, including facilities for computer-based behavioral experiments, EEG.
- Wet laboratory facilities, e.g., Phlebotomy, MRI Contrast administration.
We could keep each as list item.
Now Minimum Qualifications: "This position requires a PhD degree in psychology, neuroscience, MR physics, or a in related field from an accredited college or university as recognized by the United States Department of Education and/or the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Credentials must be obtained prior to the employment start date."
Preferred Qualifications: list:
- Excellent computer and programming skills in relevant programming languages (e.g. Python, MATLAB), experience with MRI data processing, and broad expertise in cognitive neuroscience methods are particularly important. These skills should be demonstrated through research experience and relevant publications.
- Candidates with demonstrated experience of working with fMRIprep pipelines will be given higher preference.
- Familiarity with Linux Operation Systems (primarily Debian or Debian based OSs) and SLURM cluster management and job scheduling system.
- Demonstrated evidence of analyzing Neuroimaging Data on High Performance Computational Clusters.
- Strong communication skills and experience working in teams, as well as experience in academic supervision (e.g., supervising doctoral theses)
- Ability to set up and maintain technical infrastructure in collaboration with the UMIC core team, including devices for stimulus presentation and response recording in MRI environments, or combinations of MRI and other neuroscientific measurements with peripheral physiological recordings.
- Proficiency in English language skills for ensuring effective research communication with all user groups and participants in UMIC’s interdisciplinary environment.
We could treat these as Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred) or Skills.
The instruction: Use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide what goes where.
- About the role: maybe a brief paragraph describing the role (the initial description). Could be the paragraph about reporting to PI, UMIC, etc.
- Responsibilities: list as above.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (maybe as qualifications).
- Skills: maybe list of specific skills from preferred qualifications (programming languages, Linux, etc.) but we could also put them under Qualifications. However we need to avoid duplication. Could put under Skills a list of specific technical skills: Python, MATLAB, fMRIprep, Linux/Debian, SLURM, HPC neuroimaging analysis, TMS/tDCS, EEG, wet lab, etc. But we must preserve all substantive info; we can't omit details. If we put them under Skills, we still need to keep the preferred qualifications content somewhere. Could put under Qualifications a paragraph summarizing preferred qualifications, and under Skills a bullet list of specific skills. That would duplicate some info but maybe okay as long as we preserve all info. However instruction says "Do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplication is not inventing; it's repeating detail, which is okay but maybe not ideal. Better to keep preferred qualifications under Qualifications and maybe Skills empty? But we need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. If we put Skills section, we need content. We could extract specific skills from preferred qualifications and put them as list under Skills, while Qualifications could contain a brief statement about preferred qualifications (like "Preferred qualifications include...") but that would be summarizing. Might be okay if we keep the original bullet points under Qualifications and also under Skills? That duplicates but preserves detail. However we might be overdoing.
Alternative: Use Qualifications for both minimum and preferred? But we have separate headings Requirements and Qualifications. Could put Minimum under Requirements, Preferred under Qualifications. Then Skills could be omitted if no specific skill list beyond those already captured. But we could still include Skills as a list of specific technical skills extracted from preferred qualifications, but that would be summarizing (though we are extracting). The instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Extracting is not summarizing away; it's pulling out details. But we would be omitting the surrounding sentences (like "Excellent computer and programming skills...") if we only list the skills. That would be summarizing away detail (the descriptive sentences). So better to keep the full preferred qualifications under Qualifications (or Requirements) and not create a separate Skills section unless there is a distinct list of skills separate from qualifications. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" section; it's embedded in preferred qualifications. So we could omit Skills section.
But the instruction says to use headings for those categories if they exist. If we don't have distinct content for Skills, we should not emit it. So we will omit Skills.
Similarly, Benefits: we have a list.
Pay: Salary range.
Schedule: none.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
Now we need to format.
About the role: we can take the paragraph after "Job Description" up to before responsibilities? Actually the posting includes "Job Description The University of Nevada, Las Vegas invites applications for Postdoctoral Scholar, Neuroimaging, Health Physics and Diagnostic Sciences, School of Integrated Health Sciences [R0153454] ROLE of the POSITION Responsibilities The Postdoctoral Scholar in Neuroimaging will report to ...". So we can take the description before responsibilities: "The University of Nevada, Las Vegas invites applications for Postdoctoral Scholar, Neuroimaging, Health Physics and Diagnostic Sciences, School of Integrated Health Sciences. The Postdoctoral Scholar in Neuroimaging will report to Ayan Sengupta, Assistant Professor, Department of Health Physics and Diagnostic Sciences within the School of Integrated Health Sciences at UNLV.

The newly established UMIC facility further exemplifies UNLV’s mission as a Carnegie R1 institution, supporting high-impact, interdisciplinary research and creative activity."
We'll put that as
.
Responsibilities:
- each responsibility sentence.
Requirements: Minimum Qualifications: maybe a
containing that sentence.
Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications: we can put as
- each bullet.
Benefits: list from "Benefits Of Working At Unlv Competitive total rewards package including:" then bullet list.
Pay: Salary range: "Salary range is $60,000 - $70,000. Position is contingent upon funding." We'll put as
.
Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc.
Let's craft HTML.
We'll output:
