Professor or Associate Professor, Urban & Regional Planning
for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use only sections that have real content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "How To Apply" etc. Also remove "Diversity", "Employment Requirements", "About University Of Minnesota". Also remove "Pay And Benefits" but we need to keep Pay and Benefits if present. The posting includes Pay Range and benefits description. So we need a Pay section and Benefits section? The instruction: Use headings like Pay, Benefits, Schedule. We can combine Pay and Benefits maybe separate. The posting includes Pay Range and then a paragraph about benefits. We could have Pay
with the pay range info, and Benefits
with benefits list.
Also we need About the role? The posting includes "About The Job" which describes role. Could map to "About the role". Also "Qualifications" section. Also "About The Department" maybe could be "About the department" but not in allowed headings list; allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No "About the department". But we could incorporate department info into About the role or maybe omit? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could keep About the role (covering About The Job and maybe department). Qualifications separate. Pay and Benefits separate. Possibly also Responsibilities? The posting includes responsibilities like teaching, research, service, etc. Could put under Responsibilities. But we already have About the role covering that. Might be okay to have About the role and Qualifications and Pay and Benefits.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So only include sections with real content.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like joint appointment with College of Extension, teaching graduate-level courses, etc. Must keep all.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities we should list as
. For qualifications list as . For benefits list as . For pay maybe just .
We must not include application instructions, so remove "How To Apply", deadline, etc. Also remove "Diversity", "Employment Requirements", "About University Of Minnesota". Also remove EEO boilerplate.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract substantive content:
About The Job paragraph:
"The Humphrey School of Public Affairs seeks applications for a tenured faculty position at the associate or full professor level in urban and regional planning. The faculty member will join a vibrant community of interdisciplinary scholars at the Humphrey School, supporting graduate students in the Master of Urban and Regional Planning (MURP) professional degree program, the Ph.D. in Public Affairs program, and other related programs at the University of Minnesota. This position is joint with the UMN College of Extension, enabling the candidate to develop a component of their teaching and research program to inform the work of the Community Development Extension program. Successful candidates must demonstrate the potential to develop an innovative and socially impactful research portfolio that addresses contemporary questions related to social equity and planning. Applicants may have disciplinary backgrounds in urban or regional planning, public affairs, public policy, or related fields. We seek candidates working broadly on housing policy and neighborhood affordability, which can include: housing planning or development; housing policy or regulation; housing politics or political economy; housing justice; or the intersection of neighborhood redevelopment and affordability. We welcome applications from scholars employing a broad range of methodological approaches, though with a preference for applicants who conduct mixed-methods research inclusive of quantitative methods. We also welcome applications from scholars interested in exploring intersecting and related rural-urban affordability challenges. Candidates should be able to teach graduate-level courses related to their area of expertise, as well as contribute to one or more core courses in the Urban and Regional Planning area. As part of the faculty of a comprehensive school of public affairs, they may also have opportunities to teach students with a diverse range of backgrounds and interests. Candidates must be committed to scholarly and socially impactful research; provide leadership to established master’s and Ph.D. programs at the Humphrey School; be willing to help prepare students for careers in urban and regional planning; function collaboratively in a multi- and interdisciplinary environment; and help ensure the long-term capacity of the School as a center of excellence for professional education, service, and scholarship. This search is for candidates at the associate or full professor rank. Candidates should demonstrate a nationally or internationally recognized research program, a consistent record of high-quality publications, and a record of excellent teaching and service. The starting date for this appointment is August 30, 2027 or as soon thereafter as possible. This position is not eligible for H-1B or Green Card sponsorship."
Qualifications:
"Minimum Qualifications: All candidates must hold a Ph.D. by the time of employment. See preferred qualifications in the description above."
But we already captured preferred qualifications in description above (the About The Job). So we could just have Qualifications section with the minimum qualification: Ph.D. by time of employment.
About The Department:
"The Humphrey School of Public Affairs is committed to academic excellence and diversity in every facet of its work, and in its mission: to educate, engage, and equip leaders and communities to discover solutions that advance the common good in our diverse world. The School is ranked in the top 5% nationally among U.S. based schools of public affairs, is NASPAA-accredited, and known for its research and public engagement in local, state, national, and international policy spheres. The Humphrey School works to enrich the diversity of the University community and encourages faculty applicants from a wide range of backgrounds to apply. Our concept of a diverse community encompasses people with identities that have been historically marginalized in our society and underrepresented in higher education and the realm of public affairs, particularly: scholars from the Global South; Black, Indigenous, and people of color; new immigrants; people with disabilities; women and people of all gender identities and expressions; LGBTQIA+ individuals; and first- generation college students. We seek candidates whose approach to teaching and research is innovative and inclusive in terms of structurally or historically underrepresented groups. The Humphrey School also recognizes issues of access and climate for individuals who might encounter barriers based on their religion, age, national origin, ethnicity, or veteran status. We are committed to creating, inviting, and welcoming individuals into an environment where all people may learn and contribute with a sense of belonging."

As part of our commitment to fair and equitable compensation, please be aware that the salary offered to incoming candidates will be based on their individual credentials and experience."
We need to separate Pay and Benefits. Pay: the salary ranges. Benefits: the list.
We should not include "Time Appointment: 100% Appointment Position Type: Faculty and P&A Staff" maybe could be part of Pay? It's not pay or benefits; maybe we could include in About the role? But it's metadata; maybe we can drop as it's not substantive? It's about appointment type; could be considered part of role. But we can keep in About the role as a sentence.
We must not include "Please visit the Office of Human Resources website for more information regarding benefit eligibility." That's a reference; maybe we can keep as part of benefits? It's a link instruction; maybe we can drop as it's not substantive benefit detail. But we could keep as a sentence referencing benefits info.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the benefit list exactly as given.
Now produce HTML:
About the role
... (the About The Job paragraph, maybe also include appointment type sentence)
Responsibilities
maybe not needed if we covered in About the role. But we could split: About the role for overview, Responsibilities for duties. However we have to avoid thin sections. Could combine.
Given instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have About the role, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits. That's four sections.
We need to embed lists where appropriate.
In About the role we have many sentences; we could keep as paragraphs.
Qualifications: we have minimum qualification: Ph.D. by time of employment. Could be

Pay: we have salary ranges. Could be

Let's extract benefit items from the text:

We need to split into items. The text is a bit run-on. We can parse:
- Competitive wages

- Generous time off
- Continuous learning opportunities through professional training and degree-seeking programs supported by the Regents Tuition Benefit Program
- Low-cost medical, dental, and pharmacy plans
