Principal Scientist, Pharmaceutical Analytical Sciences

We need to output HTML fragment with sections using

for headings: 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 as headings; can fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job description. Key sections: - About the role: The introductory paragraph about team, culture, etc. Could be "About the role". We'll include that. - Responsibilities: The bullet list of responsibilities: "Driving Our Company's Pipeline" and subsequent paragraphs. Also "Scientific Excellence And Regulatory Influence" and "Leadership". We'll combine into responsibilities. - Qualifications: Education Minimum Requirements (PhD/Master/Bachelor with years). Also maybe "Required Experience And Skills" could be under Qualifications or Skills. The instructions: Use headings for Qualifications, Skills separately. So Qualifications likely education requirements. Skills: required and preferred skills. - Benefits: The paragraph about benefits: medical, dental, vision, retirement, etc. Also mention annual bonus, long-term incentive. - Pay: Salary range $156,900 - $247,000. - Schedule: Travel Requirements 10%, Flexible Work Arrangements Not Applicable, Shift Not Indicated, Relocation: Domestic VISA Sponsorship Yes, Employee Status Regular, etc. Also maybe "Valid Driving License No". We'll include schedule info. We must not include sections with placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include duplicated lines. Remove EEO boilerplate, accommodation link, etc. Remove "Current Employees apply HERE", etc. Remove "Search Firm Representatives", etc. Remove "Job Posting End Date", etc. Remove "Requisition ID". Remove "Valid Driving License No Hazardous Material(s) n/a". Might keep as metadata? Probably drop minor metadata. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep details about responsibilities, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay, schedule (travel, relocation, visa sponsorship, etc). Also maybe "Employee Status Regular". That's substantive. We'll format as:

Salary range: $156,900.00 - $247,000.00

Schedule

• Travel: approximately 10%
• Relocation: Domestic visa sponsorship available
• Employee status: Regular
• Flexible work arrangements: Not applicable
• Shift: Not indicated

We need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "US And Puerto Rico Residents Only". That's maybe schedule? It's a requirement but could be included under schedule or qualifications? It's a residency requirement. Might be considered part of qualifications? But we can include under schedule or a separate note. Since we only have set headings, we could put under Schedule or Qualifications. Probably schedule includes location restrictions? Not exactly. Could add a note under Qualifications: "US and Puerto Rico residents only". But that is a requirement. We'll include under Qualifications as a bullet. Also "As an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer..." we must drop. Also "Please click here if you need an accommodation" drop. Also "The fastest way to breakthrough innovation..." drop as fluff? Might be considered boilerplate? It's about culture but maybe keep? It's somewhat generic but could be part of About the role. However it's repetitive of earlier culture description. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to drop. We need to preserve all substantive information; not drop specifics like "US and Puerto Rico residents only". That's substantive. Also "Employee Status Regular Relocation: Domestic VISA Sponsorship Yes Travel Requirements 10% Flexible Work Arrangements Not Applicable Shift Not Indicated Valid Driving License No Hazardous Material(s) n/a". We'll keep travel, relocation, visa sponsorship, employee status, flexible work, shift. Valid driving license no maybe not needed. Now craft content. About the role: combine first paragraph: "The Pharmaceutical Analytical Sciences (PAS) team at our company has an exciting opportunity for a Principal Scientist based in Rahway, NJ.

Also there is a "#AR&D" maybe ignore. Also "Required Skills" list: Analytical Characterization, Analytical Chemistry, Analytical Method Development, Assay Development, Bioanalysis, Chromatographic Techniques, Chromatography, Clinical Judgment, Clinical Trials, Conducting Experiments, Data Science, Liquid Chromatography (LC), Matrix Management, Mentoring Staff, Method Validation, Product Development, Scientific Study Design, Stability Testing And "Preferred Skills": Current Employees apply HERE etc ignore. We could combine required skills list into Skills section. Might be long but okay. We need to avoid duplication: The Required Experience And Skills already covers many of those. The Required Skills list is more specific technical skills. We'll include them as bullet points under Skills. We'll separate Required Skills and Preferred Skills maybe as sub-bullets? But we only have one Skills heading. We can include all under Skills, maybe separate with headings inside? Not allowed; only

for section headings. Inside we can have

or

. We could have two
with headings as ? Not allowed? The instruction only says use

for section headings. Inside we can use any HTML. We could add

but not specified. Safer to just list all skills in one

. Might be long but okay. We'll include both required and preferred skills as separate
with preceding

indicating "Required skills:" and "Preferred skills:" maybe as

Required skills:

then
. That's okay. Benefits: paragraph: "We offer a comprehensive package of benefits. Available benefits include medical, dental, vision healthcare and other insurance benefits (for employee and family), retirement benefits, including 401(k), paid holidays, vacation, and compassionate and sick days." Also mention annual bonus and long-term incentive. Also "More information about benefits is available at https://jobs.merck.com/us/en/compensation-and-benefits." We can keep that link? Might be considered boilerplate but it's substantive info about benefits. We'll keep as

with link. Pay: Salary range. Schedule: Travel 10%, Relocation: Domestic visa sponsorship yes, Employee status Regular, Flexible work arrangements Not applicable, Shift Not indicated. Also maybe "Valid Driving License No" not needed. Now produce HTML. Check for any leftover boilerplate: We removed EEO, accommodation, application instructions, search firm, job posting end date, requisition ID, etc. We must not include "US And Puerto Rico Residents Only" as a heading; we included as bullet under Qualifications. Make sure not to repeat job title as
