Professor, Political Science
or drop it. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph for metadata like posting date, maybe location? But location is in contact info; we can drop that. The posting date maybe minor metadata; we could include a short
like "Posted September 25, 2026." But we need to decide if we keep it. The instruction says we can fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. It's not required to keep. Safer to drop it to keep only substantive sections. We need sections: About the role (maybe a summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have duties (responsibilities). Minimum qualifications (requirements). Desired qualifications (qualifications). Skills: maybe the list of skills like communication, interpersonal, organizational, flexible delivery, learner-centered, proficiency with computers, MS Office, Zoom, Canvas, physical requirements (light lifting, ability to reach above shoulder, etc). Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not explicitly stated. There's mention of maintaining a minimum twenty-seven and one-half hour per week assignment on campus, includes teaching 15 credit hours and fifteen clock hours office hours etc. That could be schedule info? It's about workload/hours. Could be considered schedule? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. The posting does mention hours per week assignment, but not explicit schedule like "Monday-Friday 9-5". It's about workload. Could be considered schedule? Might be borderline. Better to not create Schedule section unless explicit schedule like "Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm". So we skip Schedule. Pay: not mentioned. Benefits: not mentioned. So we skip Benefits and Pay. Thus we may have sections: About the role (maybe a brief summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. But we need to avoid filler headings. Ensure each heading has substantive content. We can combine About the role with a short paragraph summarizing the position: Professor, Political Science teaching load etc. Responsibilities: list of duties from Description Of Duties. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications. Qualifications: Desired Qualifications. Skills: list of skills and abilities (communication, interpersonal, organizational, flexible delivery, learner-centered, proficiency with computers, MS Office, Zoom, Canvas, physical requirements). Could also include ability to drive or provide transportation. We must use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Thus for each section we can have a heading
Section Title
then eitherprose or
- list.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep all details from the posting, but we can format them as lists.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we don't put
Professor, Political Science
. Instead we can have About the role heading and include the title in prose. We must not include Job ID etc. Let's extract details: About the role: Could be a paragraph: "Rose State College's Liberal Arts and Sciences Division is seeking a Professor of Political Science to teach introductory and lower-division political science courses in traditional, online, and flex-hybrid formats, including concurrent high school classes via distance education. The position reports to the Division Dean and involves a minimum 27.5-hour weekly on-campus assignment, including 15 credit hours of instruction and 15 clock hours for office hours and other college-related duties." That's a summary but we must preserve all substantive info; summarizing may lose detail. However we can include the details in Responsibilities and Requirements sections; About the role can be a brief overview but must not lose info. It's okay to have a brief overview as long as we still include all details elsewhere. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we cannot summarize away detail; we can provide a brief overview but must still include all details elsewhere. That's okay. Now Responsibilities: list each duty: - Teach fifteen (15) credit hours per semester of introductory political science and other lower division political science courses. - Teach courses in traditional classroom setting, fully online, and as flex-hybrids at Rose State. - Teach concurrent high school classes via distance education (as needed). - Report to the Division Dean. - Maintain a minimum twenty-seven and one-half hour per week assignment on campus. - The minimum assignment includes teaching an equated 15 credit hours of instruction and fifteen clock hours that include office hours and other College-related duties. - Cultivate and maintain professional relationships. - Deliver effective instruction. - Maintain records in accordance with College and division policies. - Participate in services to the College and the local community. - Collaborate with colleagues in the development of new program and course offerings, relationships with four-year institutions for student transfer, and micro credential offerings. - Perform other related duties in the Division as assigned by the Dean. - No regularly assigned supervisory duties or responsibilities. - Work under general supervision. - Receive training and guideline from the Division Dean and/or Associate Dean. We need to ensure we keep all details exactly as written? We can paraphrase slightly but must preserve meaning. Safer to keep close to original phrasing. Now Requirements (Minimum Qualifications): - Master's Degree in political science or Master's Degree and eighteen (18) graduate hours in political science. - Two (2) years recent experience teaching college-level political science. - Excellent oral and written communication, interpersonal and organizational skills. - Ability to use flexible delivery methods to accommodate individual learning styles. - Learner-centered teaching skills. - Proficiency with computers and MS Office (Word and Outlook), video conferencing platforms such as Zoom, and Learning Management Systems such as Canvas. - Light lifting up to 10 lbs. and light carrying up to 10 lbs. required. - Ability to reach above shoulder. - Periods of time spent sitting, standing, walking, kneeling, bending and stooping. - Ability to drive or provide other transportation among campuses if needed. Now Qualifications (Desired Qualifications): - Doctoral degree in political science. - Four (4) years recent experience teaching college-level political science courses at a community college. - One (1) year of experience teaching political science classes in a high school or concurrent high school program. Now Skills: Could be overlapping with requirements; but we can separate: maybe skills include communication, interpersonal, organizational, flexible delivery, learner-centered, proficiency with computers, MS Office, Zoom, Canvas, physical abilities (light lifting, reach above shoulder, sitting/standing/walking/kneeling/bending/stooping, ability to drive). However many of these are already in Requirements. To avoid duplication, we could treat Requirements as qualifications and Skills as abilities. But the instruction says use- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can put Requirements as list, Qualifications as list, Skills as list. It's okay if some overlap? Might be considered duplication but we must preserve all info; duplication is okay as long as we don't invent. However we should avoid duplicated lines per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should not duplicate identical lines. If we list same bullet in both Requirements and Skills, that's duplication. Better to separate: Requirements = educational/experience minimums. Skills = abilities and competencies (communication, interpersonal, organizational, flexible delivery, learner-centered, proficiency with computers, MS Office, Zoom, Canvas, physical requirements). The Minimum Qualifications list includes both education/experience and skills; we can split them. Thus: Requirements (Minimum Qualifications) list: - Master's Degree in political science or Master's Degree and eighteen (18) graduate hours in political science. - Two (2
- list.
