We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the posting. Key info: - Position: Public Health Informatics Specialist (implied). Not to repeat as heading. - Under general supervision, provides professional informatics, data support and analysis for assessment and research to promote improved public health outcomes; develops informatics systems and platforms; and performs related work as required. - This is an Open Competitive/Countywide Promotional recruitment being conducted to fill a current full-time vacancy in the Northern Nevada Public Health department. - This position is a full-time, grant funded, benefited position funded until November 2027, with no guarantee of ongoing or continued funding. - The list established from this recruitment may be used to fill future vacancies as they occur. - For more information on this position, please see the Job Specification at link (we can drop as it's a link maybe keep? It's metadata; we can fold into short p or drop. Probably drop as not substantive? Might keep as a p but not heading. - Minimum Qualifications: Two years of full-time experience in health informatics and analysis in a public health, human services, or closely related agency AND a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university in computer science, data sciences, informatics, or a closely related field; OR an equivalent combination of training and experience. - License Or Certificate: A valid driver's license is required at the time of appointment and must be maintained for continued employment in this classification. - Ideal Candidate Criteria: Reporting to the Statistics and Informatics Supervisor in the Population Health Division, the ideal candidate ... will bring advanced expertise in data science and GIS frameworks. The candidate will lead the ingestion, analysis, and spatial modeling of large health datasets, utilizing a robust technical stack that includes Python libraries, ArcGIS Pro/Enterprise, SQL, and R. The selected professional must be detail-oriented, solutions-driven, and capable of building automated data pipelines, engineering predictive models, and designing advanced spatial visualizations. They should bring proven experience in translating complex data science outputs into actionable public health insights, mapping intricate data flows, supporting automated disease surveillance systems, and deploying interactive dashboards like Power BI to optimize data governance and public health decision-making. - Conditions of Employment: The Washoe County Employees Association (WCEA) Non-Supervisory Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) covers the Public Health Informatics Specialist position. Selected candidates are required to meet the Health District (NNPH) immunization requirements and complete 2 TB Skin Tests at time of appointment, or provide documentation of a prior QuantiFERON test done within the last 12 months. Background checks will be conducted on selected applicants through the State of Nevada and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Per the Washoe County Background and Reference Checks Policy, new and rehired employees are required to submit to a fingerprint based background investigation. Effective October 1, 2026, the $40.00 fee associated with this background investigation will be paid by the employee (if applicable) and deducted automatically from the first paycheck. Employment is contingent upon the results of the background check, although a record of conviction will not necessarily bar an applicant from employment. Washoe County requires its employees to reside in the state of Nevada or neighboring California communities such as Truckee, South Lake Tahoe or Susanville as of their first day of work. Washoe County hires all new employees at the minimum rate of the salary range and eligible employees may receive an annual merit increase of 5% until they reach the maximum salary for the classification. Upon promotion, current Washoe County employees are placed at the minimum rate of the salary range for the higher classification of the new position OR a promotional calculation, whichever is greater. - What Happens Next: details about application process, exam, etc. This is procedural; we might consider it as part of "Application Instructions" which we should remove per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the "What Happens Next" section entirely. - Also the EEO statement at end: remove. Thus we need to create sections with substantive content. Potential sections: - About the role: could contain the description: "Under general supervision, provides professional informatics, data support and analysis for assessment and research to promote improved public health outcomes; develops informatics systems and platforms; and performs related work as required. This is an Open Competitive/Countywide Promotional recruitment being conducted to fill a current full-time vacancy in the Northern Nevada Public Health department. This position is a full-time, grant funded, benefited position funded until November 2027, with no guarantee of ongoing or continued funding. The list established from this recruitment may be used to fill future vacancies as they occur." - Responsibilities: maybe list duties: "Provides professional informatics, data support and analysis for assessment and research to promote improved public health outcomes; develops informatics systems and platforms; performs related work as required." Could also include leading ingestion, analysis, spatial modeling of large health datasets, building automated data pipelines, engineering predictive models, designing advanced spatial visualizations, translating complex data science outputs into actionable public health insights, mapping intricate data flows, supporting automated disease surveillance systems, deploying interactive dashboards like Power BI. Those are from Ideal Candidate Criteria but could be responsibilities. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications and License/Certificate. - Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? But we need to avoid duplication. Could combine. - Skills: technical stack: Python libraries, ArcGIS Pro/Enterprise, SQL, R, Power BI, detail-oriented, solutions-driven, ability to build automated data pipelines, engineer predictive models, design advanced spatial visualizations, translate data science outputs into actionable insights, map data flows, support disease surveillance, deploy dashboards. - Benefits: The posting mentions "Total Compensation Package for this job classification which includes county paid employee health benefits after 30 days of employment, county paid retirement benefits, vacation accruals, etc." Also mentions grant funded benefited position. Also mentions merit increase of 5% annually until max salary. Also mentions residency requirement? That's condition not benefit. Also mentions background check fee etc. But benefits: county paid employee health benefits after 30 days, county paid retirement benefits, vacation accruals. Also maybe "grant funded, benefited position". We'll include those. - Pay: The posting does not give specific salary numbers, only mentions "Washoe County hires all new employees at the minimum rate of the salary range and eligible employees may receive an annual merit increase of 5% until they reach the maximum salary for the classification." That's not a specific pay figure. According to instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state that employees are hired at minimum rate of salary range and may receive merit increase. That is some pay info, though not a number. Is that enough to include a Pay section? It says "annual merit increase of 5% until they reach the maximum salary for the classification." That is pay-related. So we can include Pay section with that info. - Schedule: It says full-time. So we can include Schedule section: "Full-time". That's specific. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual info. Now produce HTML fragment with headings

for each section. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to decide which content is list vs prose. Let's structure:

    About the role

    Under general supervision, provides professional informatics, data support and analysis for assessment and research to promote improved public health outcomes; develops informatics systems and platforms; and performs related work as required. This is an Open Competitive/Countywide Promotional recruitment being conducted to fill a current full-time vacancy in the Northern Nevada Public Health department. This position is a full-time, grant funded, benefited position funded until November 2027, with no guarantee of ongoing or continued funding. The list established from this recruitment may be used to fill future vacancies as they occur.

    Responsibilities

    • Provide professional informatics, data support and analysis for assessment and research to promote improved public health outcomes.
    • Develop informatics systems and platforms.
    • Lead the ingestion, analysis, and spatial modeling of large health datasets.
    • Build automated data pipelines and engineer predictive models.
    • Design advanced spatial visualizations.
    • Translate complex data science outputs into actionable public health insights.
    • Map intricate data flows and support automated disease surveillance systems.
    • Deploy interactive dashboards (e.g., Power BI) to optimize data governance and public health decision‑making.
    • Perform related work as required.

    Requirements

    • Two years of full‑time experience in health informatics and analysis in a public health, human services, or closely related agency.
    • A bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university in computer science, data sciences, informatics, or a closely related field; OR an equivalent combination of training and experience.
    • A valid driver's license required at appointment and must be maintained for continued employment.
    We could also add "Qualifications" but maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use headings for sections like Qualifications. We could have Qualifications separate from Requirements, but we might duplicate. Better to have Requirements for mandatory qualifications, and Qualifications for preferred/ideal candidate criteria. However the Ideal Candidate Criteria could go under Skills or Qualifications. Let's assign: - Qualifications: Ideal Candidate Criteria (preferred). Could be a list. - Skills: Technical competencies (Python, ArcGIS, SQL, R, Power BI, etc.) plus soft skills. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's think. We have Minimum Qualifications (required). We have Ideal Candidate Criteria (preferred). We have technical stack details. We could structure:

    Qualifications

    Ideal candidate will report to the Statistics and Informatics Supervisor in the Population Health Division and bring advanced expertise in data science and GIS frameworks.

    • Lead ingestion, analysis, and spatial modeling of large health datasets.
    • Build automated data pipelines, engineer predictive models, design advanced spatial visualizations.
    • Translate complex data science outputs into actionable public health insights.
    • Map intricate data flows and support automated disease surveillance systems.
    • Deploy interactive dashboards like Power BI to optimize data governance and public health decision‑making.
    • Detail‑oriented, solutions‑driven.
    But that overlaps with Responsibilities. Might be okay but we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps better to put Ideal Candidate under Skills. Let's decide: - Responsibilities: core duties (as described under general supervision). Could be short. - Requirements: mandatory qualifications (experience, degree, driver's license). - Qualifications: maybe not needed; we could skip. - Skills: technical and soft skills (Python, ArcGIS, SQL, R, Power BI, detail-oriented, solutions-driven, ability to build pipelines, predictive models, spatial visualizations, translate insights, map data flows, support surveillance, deploy dashboards). - Benefits: county paid health benefits after 30 days, county paid retirement benefits, vacation accruals, grant funded benefited position. - Pay: hired at minimum rate of salary range; eligible for annual merit increase of 5% until reaching maximum salary. - Schedule: full-time. We also have info about residency requirement, background check, immunization, TB test, etc. Those are Conditions of Employment. Should we include a section for Conditions? Not in the list of allowed headings; we only have those eight headings. The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the
