Program Manager Scientific Awards
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. We have: - About the role: description paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of duties (Key Responsibilities, Nomination Development & Faculty Support, Research, Analytics & Reporting, Database & Systems Management, Other duties as assigned). Could combine into one Responsibilities section with subpoints? Probably just list all duties under Responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe education and experience? Could be Requirements (education) and Qualifications (experience). But we have both Education and Experience. Could map Education to Requirements, Experience to Qualifications. Or combine. - Skills: maybe list of skills from experience: strong research, analytical, data management, project management, communication, relationship building, etc. - Benefits: from Why Us? list. - Pay: salary range. - Schedule: Hybrid Onsite/Remote. We must not create sections with placeholder text. Ensure we have real content. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove requisition ID etc? 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 with Requisition ID etc maybe as metadata. But better to drop it? It says fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Could include a short p at top with Requisition ID, Employment Status, etc. But not as heading. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting: responsibilities bullet points, education requirements, experience requirements, preferred qualifications, skills, benefits details, salary range, work schedule, etc. We must not include cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So remove the EEO paragraph and the link. Also remove "Additional Information" maybe but keep the data like Requisition ID etc as minor metadata. We must not include "Why Us?" heading; we will use Benefits heading. We must not include "Key Responsibilities:" heading; we will use Responsibilities heading. We must not include "EDUCATION:" heading; we will use Requirements heading. We must not include "EXPERIENCE:" heading; we will use Qualifications heading. We must not include "Other duties as assigned" as separate heading; just include as bullet. We must not include "Pivotal Position: Yes Referral Bonus Available?: Yes Relocation Assistance Available?: Yes" maybe as metadata. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:
Requisition ID: 183090 | Employment Status: Full-Time | Work Week: Days | FLSA: exempt | Fund Type: Hard | Work Location: Hybrid Onsite/Remote | Pivotal Position: Yes | Referral Bonus Available: Yes | Relocation Assistance Available: Yes

We must ensure no duplicate content. Also we included a short p for metadata. Ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO. We removed that. Check if any content duplicated: The responsibilities list includes some repeated headings inside li; that's okay. We must not invent or summarize away detail: we kept all details. Check if any missing: The posting also mentions "The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center offers excellent benefits, including medical, dental, paid time off, retirement, tuition benefits, educational opportunities, and individual and team recognition." That's covered in benefits. Also "This position may be responsible for maintaining the security and integrity of critical infrastructure, as defined in Section 113.001(2) of the Texas Business and Commerce Code and therefore may require routine reviews and screening. The ability to satisfy and maintain all requirements necessary to ensure the continued security and integrity of such infrastructure is a condition of hire and continued employment." This is substantive; we should include it somewhere, maybe under Responsibilities or a separate section like "Security Responsibilities". Since we have no heading for that, we could add a bullet under Responsibilities. It's important to preserve all substantive information. Let's add a bullet: "Responsible for maintaining the security and integrity of critical infrastructure as defined in Section 113.001(2) of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, including routine reviews and screening." Add to Responsibilities list. Also "The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center offers excellent benefits, including medical, dental, paid time off, retirement, tuition benefits, educational opportunities, and individual and team recognition." Already covered. Also "This position may be responsible for maintaining the security and integrity of critical infrastructure..." we added. Also "The ability to satisfy and maintain all requirements necessary to ensure the continued security and integrity of such infrastructure is a condition of hire and continued employment." Could add as bullet. Also "It is the policy of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to provide equal employment opportunity..." we removed as boilerplate. Also "http://www.mdanderson.org/about-us/legal-and-policy/legal-statements/eeo-affirmative-action.html" removed. Also "Additional Information Requisition ID: 183090 Employment Status: Full-Time Employee Status: Regular Work Week: Days Minimum Salary: US Dollar (USD) 79,000 Midpoint Salary: US Dollar (USD) 99,000 Maximum Salary : US Dollar (USD) 119,000 FLSA: exempt and not eligible for overtime pay Fund Type: Hard Work Location: Hybrid Onsite/Remote Pivotal Position: Yes Referral Bonus Available?: Yes Relocation Assistance Available?: Yes" we included metadata.
