We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: 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. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Position Summary: full-time, on-campus, fixed-term faculty position to begin spring 2027. Teach four courses per semester, may include face-to-face and online. Area of specialty open. Undergraduate program consists of three majors: General Psychology, Mental Health Concentration, Business Psychology Concentration. Reappointment contingent upon satisfactory performance and departmental needs. While research not required, opportunities for collaborative research with existing faculty are available. - Required Qualifications: Ph.D. in psychology or related field. ABD candidates considered if degree conferred by start date. Experience teaching Psychology courses in both face-to-face and online format. Evidence of teaching effectiveness. Ability to perform essential functions of the position, with or without reasonable accommodation. - Preferred Qualifications: (none listed? There's a line "Preferred Qualifications Message to Applicants:" but then it's about diversity etc. Actually after "Preferred Qualifications" there is "Message to Applicants: Central Michigan University is dedicated...". So maybe no specific preferred qualifications listed. We'll treat that as not substantive. - About The Department: description of department: offers graduate programs in Industrial/Organizational, and School Psychology. Offers undergraduate major and minor, with major consisting of General Psychology, Mental Health Concentration, and Business Psychology Concentration. Additional info on website. - About CMU: description of university, legacy, student numbers, programs, leadership institute, sports, wellness program, benefits etc. This could be considered Benefits? But we need to only include Benefits section if posting actually states them. The posting mentions "CMU employees enjoy access to a nationally recognized wellness program along with health care and benefits that exceed regional, state and national norms." That's a benefit statement. Also mentions wellness program, health care and benefits. So we can include Benefits section with that info. - Pay: Not mentioned. No salary. So we should not include Pay section. - Schedule: Position Type: 9 month (Academic Year). Position Begin Date: 01/07/2027 Position End Date: 05/10/2028. Also teaching four courses per semester. So we can include Schedule section with academic year 9-month, dates, teaching load. - Skills: Not explicitly listed. Could infer teaching effectiveness, online/face-to-face teaching, etc. But we should not invent. Only include if posting states them. There's "Evidence of teaching effectiveness." That's a qualification, not skill. Could put under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll keep Qualifications section for required and preferred qualifications. - Responsibilities: Teaching four courses per semester (face-to-face and online). Possibly also collaborative research opportunities (though not required). So we can list responsibilities: teach four courses per semester (face-to-face and online), contribute to undergraduate program, participate in departmental activities, engage in collaborative research opportunities (optional). We must not invent beyond what's stated. The posting says: "This position requires teaching four courses per semester, which may include face-to-face and online courses." Also "While research is not a requirement of this position, opportunities for collaborative research with existing faculty are available." So responsibilities: teach four courses per semester (face-to-face/online); engage in collaborative research opportunities (optional). Also maybe "contribute to department's undergraduate program" is implied but not explicitly stated. Safer to stick to explicit statements. - Requirements: Could be same as Required Qualifications? Usually Requirements separate from Qualifications. But we can combine. However we need to follow instruction: use headings for sections like Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. We have: - About the role: could be Position Summary. - Responsibilities: teaching load, research opportunities. - Requirements: maybe the required qualifications (Ph.D., ABD, teaching experience, evidence of teaching effectiveness, ability to perform essential functions). - Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications (none) or we could skip if none. - Skills: maybe not present. - Benefits: wellness program, health care and benefits exceeding norms. - Pay: none -> omit. - Schedule: 9-month academic year, begin/end dates, teaching four courses per semester. We must not create sections with filler. So if Skills has no content, omit. We also need to include About the role section (maybe using Position Summary). Must not repeat job title as heading. So we can have

About the role

with paragraph summarizing. We must preserve all substantive information. Let's extract all substantive bits: From posting: - Posting Number: F-1056 (metadata, drop) - College/Unit: College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences (metadata, drop) - Home Department: Department of Psychology (metadata) - Employee Group: Fixed-Term Faculty - Academic Year (metadata) - Employment Status: Full-Time (metadata) - Position Type: 9 month (Academic Year) (schedule) - Position Classification: Fixed-Term Faculty (metadata) - Position Begin Date: 01/07/2027 (schedule) - Position End Date: 05/10/2028 (schedule) - Position Summary: The Psychology Department at Central Michigan University invites applications for a full-time, on-campus, fixed-term faculty position to begin in spring 2027. This position requires teaching four courses per semester, which may include face-to-face and online courses. The area of specialty is open. Our undergraduate program (both on-campus and online) consists of three majors: General Psychology, Mental Health Concentration, and Business Psychology Concentration. Reappointment is contingent upon satisfactory performance and departmental needs. While research is not a requirement of this position, opportunities for collaborative research with existing faculty are available. - Required Qualifications: Ph.D. in psychology or a related field. ABD candidates will be considered provided the degree is conferred by the start date. Experience of teaching Psychology courses in both face-to-face and online format. Evidence of teaching effectiveness. Abililty to peform the essential functions of the position, with or without reasonable accommodation. (typo: Abililty -> Ability) - Preferred Qualifications: (none explicit) then "Message to Applicants: Central Michigan University is dedicated to fostering an environment that is reflective of the communities we serve. We are especially interested in highly qualified candidates who will advance and promote CMU's mission, vision, and leadership standards." That's more of a statement about diversity, not a qualification. Could be considered as part of About CMU? But we already have About CMU later. We'll treat that as part of About CMU maybe. - You must submit an online application... (application instructions, drop) - Cover letters may be addressed to the Hiring Committee. (drop) - About The Department: The Department of Psychology offers graduate programs in Industrial/Organizational, and School Psychology. The department offers an undergraduate major and minor, with major consisting of General Psychology, Mental Health Concentration, and Business Psychology Concentration. Additional information is available on the departmental website. - Posting Begins: 09/17/2026 (metadata drop) - Posting Ends Open Until Filled: Yes (metadata drop) - About CMU: long paragraph about legacy, student numbers, programs, leadership institute, sports, wellness program, benefits, location, etc. We need to extract substantive info for Benefits maybe. Specifically: "CMU employees enjoy access to a nationally recognized wellness program along with health care and benefits that exceed regional, state and national norms." That's benefit. Also earlier: "CMU leads the nation in leadership development programming through our Sarah R. Opperman Leadership Institute, and we are proud to be among only 5% of U.S. universities in the top two Carnegie research classifications." That's maybe not benefit but could be part of About CMU. But we only need Benefits section if posting actually states them. It does state wellness program and health care and benefits exceeding norms. So we can include Benefits with that statement. Also maybe mention "CMU is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." but that's EEO boilerplate, drop. - Title IX info etc drop. - Copyright etc drop. Thus final HTML:

About the role

The Psychology Department at Central Michigan University invites applications for a full-time, on-campus, fixed-term faculty position beginning spring 2027. The role involves teaching four courses per semester (face-to-face and/or online) in an open area of specialty. The undergraduate program includes majors in General Psychology, Mental Health Concentration, and Business Psychology Concentration. Reappointment depends on satisfactory performance and departmental needs. While research is not required, opportunities for collaborative research with existing faculty are available.

Responsibilities

  • Teach four courses per semester, which may be delivered face-to-face, online, or a combination.
  • Participate in optional collaborative research opportunities with department faculty.

Requirements

  • Ph.D. in psychology or a related field.
  • ABD candidates considered if the degree will be conferred by the start date.
  • Experience teaching Psychology courses in both face-to-face and online formats.
  • Evidence of teaching effectiveness.
  • Ability to perform the essential functions of the position, with or without reasonable accommodation.

Qualifications

But we need to decide: Should we include Qualifications heading with no content? No, we must not emit heading followed by filler. So omit Qualifications.

Benefits

  • Access to a nationally recognized wellness program.
  • Health care and benefits that exceed regional, state, and national norms.

Schedule

  • Nine‑month academic year appointment.
  • Position begins January 7, 2027 and ends May 10, 2028.
  • Teaching load: four courses per semester.
We should not include Skills section. Check that we preserved all substantive info: - Position summary: captured. - Teaching four courses per semester: captured in responsibilities and schedule. - Area of specialty open: captured. - Undergraduate majors: captured. - Reappointment contingent: captured. - Research opportunities: captured. - Required qualifications: all captured. - ABD condition: captured. - Experience teaching both formats: captured. - Evidence of teaching effectiveness: captured. - Ability to perform essential functions: captured. - Preferred qualifications: none, omitted. - About the Department: we didn't include a separate About the Department section. The instruction says we should include sections only when posting has real, specific content for it. We have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Schedule. The About the Department content is not captured anywhere else. Should we include it? The posting includes a paragraph about the department: graduate programs, undergraduate major/minor, majors. That is substantive. We could include an "About the department" section, but the allowed headings list does not include "About the department". The allowed headings are: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we cannot add a custom heading. We could fold department info into About the role or Responsibilities? About the role already includes some description; we could add department info there. The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but likely the only allowed headings. It says "Use

for section headings (e.g
