We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Department Summary, Position Summary, Minimum Requirements, Professional Competencies, Preferred Qualifications, Benefits (mention of robust benefits package). No explicit Pay or Schedule. So we include sections where there is real content: About the role (maybe Position Summary), Responsibilities? Not explicit duties list but there are examples of types of positions; could treat as Responsibilities? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which headings to use based on content. We have: - Department Summary (could be About the role? maybe About the role includes description of institute and mission). We'll use About the role. - Position Summary (could be Responsibilities? Actually Position Summary describes the role, limited duration appointments, types of positions. Could be About the role as well. Might combine. - Minimum Requirements (Requirements) - Professional Competencies (Skills? maybe Skills) - Preferred Qualifications (Qualifications? Could be Qualifications) - Benefits (Benefits) We should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Requirements (minimum requirements) we have a list of ranks descriptions; we can put as
      . For Professional Competencies list, also
        . For Preferred Qualifications list, also
          . For Benefits, we have a sentence about robust benefits package; not a list; we can put

          . We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation, etc. Also remove "Special Instructions to Applicants" (application instructions) and "Review of Applications Begins", etc. Also remove "Department: Prevention Science Institute Rank: Research Assistant (Type A) Annual Basis: 12 Month". That's metadata; we can fold minor metadata into a short

          or drop it. Probably drop it. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract substantive content: Department Summary: "The Prevention Science Institute (PSI) is a multi-disciplinary institute focused on understanding human development, promoting behavioral health, and implementing effective interventions in community settings. The PSI encompasses focus areas consistent with the field of prevention science, including prevention and intervention, and implementation science. Understanding effective intervention strategies and the outcomes associated with these interventions across multiple domains of functioning, including biological, social, and contextual, is the focus of research at the PSI. The core mission of the PSI is to improve the lives and well-being of children, individuals, and families throughout the lifespan. The PSI is committed to research that expands our understanding of interventions and human development and actively seeks to promote research that reduces health disparities in health outcomes." Position Summary: "The Prevention Science Institute (PSI) at the University of Oregon is seeking qualified applicants for its open research pool. Positions are limited duration appointments potentially renewable for up to a total of three years. In limited circumstances, there is the possibility of renewal beyond three years based on programmatic need, funding, and performance. Appointments may be as a research assistant, conducting research under the direction of a principal investigator, or as a research associate, conducting research with only general guidance. Research assistant/associate opportunities frequently arise in the PSI. These positions are primarily funded by federal grants with research aims related to understanding human development, preventing behavioral health problems, and implementing effective interventions in community settings. Candidates with professional or academic interests in any of these areas are encouraged to apply; applicants will be screened as needs arise. Successful candidates will have professional experience and a commitment to working effectively with research participants and staff from diverse backgrounds. Candidates with fluency in Spanish are strongly encouraged to apply. Examples of the types of positions that arise include: Interviewer/Assessors who work with families and children to gather complete and accurate data through standardized personal interviews, questionnaires, standardized tests, semi-structured interviews, parent-child interaction tasks, child and adult diagnostic interviews and video recorded observations; Data Managers who oversee the tracking, cleaning, formatting and compiling of computerized datasets; Records Coordinators who locate and coordinate the collection of data from community partners (such as local school districts, child welfare agencies or the local youth authority and/or adult courts) and obtain and track signed consent forms; Recruiters who contact potential participants to screen and invite them to participate in active research projects. Due to the broad nature of the available research positions, please indicate if you have experience with any of the following: standardized assessments, standardized surveys & interviews, behavioral coding, working with families and children, working with high-risk families, working with foster families, working with children with special needs, experience with home interviews, and experience with neurobiological methods (e.g, cortisol, genetic data, RSA & PEP, high density EEG/ERP, blood draws, fMRI)." Minimum Requirements: "Research Assistant ranks: RESEARCH ASSISTANT (TYPE A): Positions that require skills and/or experience relevant to the duties of the position but do not have a minimum degree requirement. RESEARCH ASSISTANT (TYPE B): Positions require a bachelor’s or equivalent degree. In rare occasions, positions in specialized fields may allow for a combination of education and equivalent experience prior to the time of hire to satisfy the bachelor’s degree requirement. RESEARCH ASSISTANT (TYPE C): Positions require a master’s or equivalent degree. In rare occasions, positions in highly specialized fields may allow for a combination of education and exceptional equivalent experience prior to the time of hire to satisfy the master’s degree requirement. Ranks for each research assistant type in ascending order are research assistant, senior research assistant I, and senior research assistant II. Research Associate rank: Terminal degree. Senior Research Associate I rank: Terminal degree plus 6 years of applicable work experience post-degree. Senior Research Associate II rank: Terminal degree plus 12 years of applicable work experience post-degree." Professional Competencies: "Knowledge of spoken and written English sufficient to obtain, provide, or exchange information. Ability to communicate effectively, with a specific capacity for sensitivity, confidentiality, diligence, and persistence with regard to engaging and retaining subjects in the study. Customer service skills and the ability to effectively relate project information. Highly efficient and organized approach to work and strong attention to detail and thoroughness. Exceptional time management skills and ability to manage multiple scheduling issues. Ability to work in a collaborative and cooperative team environment. Ability to learn quickly and work independently, with supervision as needed. Ability to multi-task. Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to interact effectively with adults, adolescents, and children from diverse backgrounds." Preferred Qualifications: "Experience with standardized assessments, surveys & interviews. Experience with behavioral coding. Experience working with children and families. Experience working with high-risk families. Experience working with foster families. Experience working with children with special needs. Experience with home interviews. Experience with neurobiological methods (i.e., cortisol genetic data, RSA & PEP, high density EEG/ERP, blood draws, fMRI, etc.). Fluency in Spanish." Benefits: "The University of Oregon is proud to offer a robust benefits package to eligible employees, including health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off. For more information about benefits, visit our website ." We should keep the sentence about benefits; maybe we can keep as

          . The link text "visit our website" is not a real URL; we keep as is. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. So we strip all that. Now produce HTML with headings:

          About the role

          (maybe combine Department Summary and Position Summary? Could be two paragraphs.) We could have:

          About the role

          Department Summary...

          Position Summary...

          But the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine Department Summary and Position Summary under About the role. Then

          Responsibilities

          ? Not explicitly listed; but we have examples of types of positions; maybe treat as Responsibilities. However we already used Position Summary for description; maybe we can treat Responsibilities as the list of example positions. But we already have that in Position Summary. Could create a Responsibilities section with the list of example positions (Interviewer/Assessors, Data Managers, Records Coordinators, Recruiters) and the list of experience indicators. But that might be duplicative. Better to follow the headings given: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content for About the role (department+position summary). Responsibilities: we could list the example positions and tasks. Requirements: minimum requirements. Qualifications: preferred qualifications? Or maybe Qualifications = preferred qualifications. Skills: professional competencies. Benefits: benefits package. Let's map: - About the role: Department Summary + Position Summary (overview). - Responsibilities: list of example positions (Interviewer/Assessors, Data Managers, Records Coordinators, Recruiters) and the experience indicators list? Actually the experience indicators list is more like qualifications. But we can put responsibilities as the bullet list of duties (the example positions). We'll keep the experience indicators under Qualifications maybe. - Requirements: Minimum Requirements (ranks description). - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list. - Skills: Professional Competencies list. - Benefits: benefits paragraph. We must not create Pay or Schedule sections. Now ensure we use
          • for any list. For Responsibilities we have a list of positions; we can make
              . For the experience indicators list (under Qualifications) also
                . For Skills also
                  . For Requirements we have a paragraph describing ranks; could be

                  but also could be

                    if we break each rank into items. The text includes multiple sentences; we could keep as

                    . But the instruction: use

                    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The requirements are a list of ranks; we can treat as list. Let's split each rank into
                    • . However we must preserve all substantive information; we can convert to list items preserving the text. Similarly for Professional Competencies list we can make
                        . Now produce HTML. Let's craft:
