We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job posting. First, there is a narrative intro: "Join Amgens Mission of Serving Patients At Amgen, if you feel like youre part of something bigger, its because you are..." This is about the role? Could be "About the role" or "About Amgen". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections are present. We have: - Intro about mission, culture: could be "About the role" or maybe "About Amgen". But we can treat as "About the role". It's prose. - Then "Principal Scientist, Inflammation" is the job title (should not repeat as heading). Then "What You Will Do" then description: "Lets do this. Lets change the world..." then bullet list of responsibilities. So we can have a Responsibilities section. - Then "What We Expect Of You" includes qualifications: basic qualifications, preferred qualifications. Could be split into Requirements and Qualifications and Skills. The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what content goes where. We have "Basic Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". Also "Technical Skills", "Collaborative Skills", "Innovative Thinking". So we could have: - Requirements: maybe basic qualifications (education/experience). Could be "Requirements". - Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications. - Skills: technical skills, collaborative skills, innovative thinking. But we need to avoid thin sections; combine if appropriate. We also have "What You Can Expect Of Us" includes benefits, salary range, total rewards plan. So we can have Benefits, Pay sections. Specifically: "The expected annual salary range for this role in the U.S. (excluding Puerto Rico) is posted. Actual salary will vary based on several factors..." That's Pay info (though not specific numbers). The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state salary range is posted (but not given). It says "The expected annual salary range for this role in the U.S. (excluding Puerto Rico) is posted." That is a statement that salary range exists but not provided. Is that enough to create a Pay section? It says "actual salary will vary based on several factors". It's not giving numbers. The instruction: 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. Since they say salary range is posted but not given, it's essentially not specified in the text. So we should not create a Pay section because no actual numbers or range given. However they mention "In Addition To The Base Salary, Amgen Offers a Total Rewards Plan..." That's benefits. So we can create Benefits section. Also schedule: no mention. Thus sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities, Requirements (basic qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (technical, collaborative, innovative), Benefits. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Use

for prose,

  • for lists. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. At the end there is a lot of EEO etc. Must remove. Also remove "Apply now and make a lasting impact with the Amgen team.careers.amgen.com" and the following lines about redacting age, application deadline, sponsorship, EEO, accommodation. All that is boilerplate. We need to keep the substantive content: mission intro, responsibilities list, basic qualifications, preferred qualifications, technical skills, collaborative skills, innovative thinking, benefits description (total rewards plan). Also maybe mention "As we work to develop treatments that take care of others, we also work to care for your professional and personal growth and well-being." That's part of benefits. Let's extract. Intro paragraph: "Join Amgens Mission of Serving Patients At Amgen, if you feel like youre part of something bigger, its because you are. Our shared missionto serve patients living with serious illnessesdrives all that we do. Since 1980, weve helped pioneer the world of biotech in our fight against the worlds toughest diseases. With our focus on four therapeutic areas Oncology, Inflammation, General Medicine, and Rare Disease we reach millions of patients each year. Amgen is advancing a broad and deep pipeline of medicines to treat cancer, heart disease, inflammatory conditions, rare diseases, and obesity and obesity-related conditions. As a member of the Amgen team, youll help make a lasting impact on the lives of patients as we research, manufacture, and deliver innovative medicines to help people live longer, fuller happier lives. Our award-winning culture is collaborative, innovative, and science based. If you have a passion for challenges and the opportunities that lay within them, youll thrive as part of the Amgen team. Join us and transform the lives of patients while transforming your career." We can keep as prose. Responsibilities: after "What You Will Do". The paragraph: "Lets do this. Lets change the world. In this vital role you will lead discovery and translational biology efforts for a novel immune-targeting therapeutic platform focused on selective modulation of pathogenic immune-cell populations in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. This role will emphasize in vitro and ex vivo immune cell-assay development, mechanistic characterization and in vivo translational pharmacology to support candidate advancement. You will play a central role in defining the experimental and translational framework required to translate early platform concepts into therapeutic candidates capable of delivering robust and durable immune pharmacology." Then list of responsibilities (starting with "Key Responsibilities"): each line begins with a verb. We need to capture each as
  • . Let's extract: - Lead in vitro and ex vivo biological strategy for a next-generation immune-targeting therapeutic platform, establishing experimental approaches to evaluate immune effector activity and target cell elimination in relevant in vitro and preclinical models. - Design and execute in vivo studies evaluating lymphocyte-mediated target cell depletion, immune pharmacology, and durability of therapeutic responses in mouse models of inflammatory disease. - Develop and optimize in vitro and ex vivo functional immune-cell assays, including co-culture systems, cytotoxicity or target-cell modulation assays and readouts of immune-cell activation, expansion, persistence, target engagement and pharmacodynamic response. - Build translational biology capabilities including immune cell profiling, biodistribution studies, and pharmacodynamic biomarker development to support candidate optimization. - Integrate in vitro and in vivo datasets to generate mechanistic insights that inform platform optimization and candidate selection. - Advance lead therapeutic candidates toward development by delivering preclinical efficacy and mechanistic datasets supporting program progression. - Collaborate with discovery biology, protein engineering, delivery sciences, in vivo pharmacology and translational safety to design, perform, and analyze laboratory experiments encompassing in vitro, ex vivo, in silico, and in vivo methodologies. - Serve as key scientific contributor on cross-functional project teams by synthesizing data, presenting conclusions, documenting results and communicating recommendations to internal and external scientific audiences. - Exhibit excellent organizational, verbal, and written communication skills, produce reliable and reproducible results, multitask efficiently, and coordinate multiple projects confidently. That's the responsibilities list. Now "What We Expect Of You": includes basic qualifications and preferred qualifications. Basic Qualifications: "Doctorate degree PhD OR PharmD OR MD [and relevant post-doc where applicable] and 2 years of experience in drug discovery or academic settings OR Masters degree and 5 years of experience in drug discovery or academic settings OR Bachelors degree and 7 years of experience in drug discovery or academic settings experience" We need to preserve exactly. Might need to clean up duplicate "experience". The text: "Doctorate degree PhD OR PharmD OR MD [and relevant post-doc where applicable] and 2 years of experience in drug discovery or academic settings OR Masters degree and 5 years of experience in drug discovery or academic settings OR Bachelors degree and 7 years of experience in drug discovery or academic settings experience". There's a stray "experience" at end. We'll keep as is but maybe trim extra space. Preferred Qualifications: includes several bullet-like paragraphs. Let's extract: - Research Experience: PhD with deep expertise in lymphocyte biology and immune effector mechanisms and over 5 years of experience in immunology-related research in industry or academic settings. - Scientific Contributions: Demonstrated track record of independent scientific contributions in immunology, as evidenced by publications in high-impact journals. - Technical Skills: Strong expertise in in vitro and ex vivo immunology, including primary immune- cell assays, co-culture systems, immune mediated cytotoxicity or target cell depletion assays, and high parameter flow cytometry. Experience characterizing lymphocyte activation states, effector function, persistence, target engagement and pharmacodynamic responses is highly desirable. Experience with preclinical mouse models of immune-mediated target-cell modulation. Familiarity with small and large molecule drug discovery, mechanism of action studies, ELISA, MSD, and flow cytometry-based immune cell profiling, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq), CRISPR/Cas9, and omics data analysis experience a plus. - Collaborative Skills: Proven ability to work effectively in team environments with strong documentation and laboratory management skills. Excellent written and oral communication skills to clearly articulate scientific proposals and results, lead discussions, and make presentations in multidisciplinary meetings. - Innovative Thinking: A creative and innovative approach to identify and validate novel targets and therapeutic approaches. This includes staying abreast of current trends, literature, and new developments in pre-clinical and clinical development. We could split into Requirements (basic qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (technical, collaborative, innovative). Or we could combine preferred qualifications into Qualifications and then have Skills separate for technical/collaborative/innovative. Let's follow instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. So we need three sections. Thus: - Requirements: Basic Qualifications. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (Research Experience, Scientific Contributions). Could also include maybe "Preferred Qualifications" heading but we use Qualifications. - Skills: Technical Skills, Collaborative Skills, Innovative Thinking. We need to preserve all substantive info; we can list each bullet as
  • under appropriate heading. Now Benefits: after "What You Can Expect Of Us". The paragraph: "As we work to develop treatments that take care of others, we also work to care for your professional and personal growth and well-being. From our competitive benefits to our collaborative culture, well support your journey every step of the way." Then: "The expected annual salary range for this role in the U.S. (excluding Puerto Rico) is posted. Actual salary will vary based on several factors including but not limited to, relevant skills, experience, and qualifications." Then: "In Addition To The Base Salary, Amgen Offers a Total Rewards Plan, Based On Eligibility, Comprising Of Health And Welfare Plans For Staff And Eligible Dependents, Financial Plans With Opportunities To Save Towards Retirement Or Other Goals, Work/life Balance, And Career Development Opportunities That May Include A comprehensive employee benefits package, including a Retirement and Savings Plan with generous company contributions, group medical, dental and vision coverage, life and disability insurance, and flexible spending accountsA discretionary annual bonus program, or for field sales representatives, a sales-based incentive planStock-based long-term incentivesAward-winning time-off plansFlexible work models where possible. Refer to the Work Location Type in the job posting to see if this applies." We need to preserve that as benefits. It's a bit run-on; we can keep as prose or break into list. The instruction: use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we could turn the benefits into a list. However the text is not clearly bullet list; but we can parse into items: Health and Welfare Plans, Financial Plans, Work/life Balance, Career Development Opportunities, then sub-items: Retirement
