Qualitative Research Analyst, Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Use
for section headings
- Use - for lists
- Use
for prose
- Do NOT repeat job title as heading
- Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings
- Preserve ALL substantive information
- Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions)
- Include section ONLY when posting has real, specific content
- Never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text
- Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them
- Output ONLY HTML fragment
Looking at the content, I see:
- The first paragraph describes BADU and the Office of Research, Surveillance, Policy, and Communications
- Then "The Qualitative Research Analyst will support..." - this is about the role
- "Duties Will Include But Not Be Limited To" - responsibilities
- "Preferred Skills" - requirements/qualifications
- "Why You Should Work For Us" - benefits section with Loan Forgiveness, Benefits, Work From Home Policy, Job Security
- "Established in 1805..." - about the department
- "Commitment To Equity" - EEO statement
- Then there's a separate section "CITY RESEARCH SCIENTIST - 21744 Minimum Qualifications" which seems to be a different job classification or maybe the civil service title for this position? The posting mentions "CITY RESEARCH SCIENTIST - 21744" at the end with minimum qualifications for Assignment Level I and II.
Wait, the job title appears to be "Qualitative Research Analyst" but the civil service title is "City Research Scientist - 21744". The posting includes both the functional description and the civil service classification requirements.
I should structure this as:
1. About the Bureau/Role (combining the first few paragraphs)
2. Responsibilities (Duties)
3. Qualifications/Preferred Skills
4. Benefits (Why You Should Work For Us - includes loan forgiveness, benefits, work from home, job security)
5. About the NYC Health Department
6. Commitment to Equity
7. Minimum Qualifications (for City Research Scientist)
8. Probationary Period
9. Residency Requirement
But note: The "Commitment To Equity" and "Additional Information" are essentially EEO boilerplate. The instructions say to remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. However, the "Commitment To Equity" section includes specific contact information for reasonable accommodation requests. That might be considered substantive. But the instructions say "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate". So I should probably remove the EEO statements.
Also, the "Additional Information" at the end repeats the EEO statement. That's duplicate.
The "Public Service Loan Forgiveness" appears twice - once in "Why You Should Work For Us" and again later. Duplicate.
I need to consolidate and remove duplicates.
Let me plan the sections:
About the Bureau and Role

Probationary Period
Appointments to this position are subject to a minimum probationary period of one year.
Residency Requirement
New York City residency is generally required within 90 days of appointment. However, City Employees in certain titles who have worked for the City for 2 continuous years may also be eligible to reside in Nassau, Suffolk, Putnam, Westchester, Rockland, or Orange County. To determine if the residency requirement applies to you, please discuss with the agency representative at the time of interview.
I should not include the EEO statements. The "Commitment To Equity" and "Additional Information" are EEO boilerplate. The reasonable accommodation contact might be useful but it's part of EEO boilerplate. The instructions say remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So I'll omit those sections.
Also, the "Public Service Loan Forgiveness" duplicate at the end - already covered in Benefits.
The "CITY RESEARCH SCIENTIST - 21744" is a job ID/requisition number? The instructions say "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short or drop it." So I should not make "CITY RESEARCH SCIENTIST - 21744" a heading. Instead, I can mention it in the Minimum Qualifications section.
Now, let me extract the content carefully.
First paragraph: "The Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Use (BADU) works to close gaps and reduce overall morbidity and mortality related to alcohol and substance use among New Yorkers. BADU develops, implements, and evaluates interventions and prevention strategies through contracting of treatment, recovery and support services; policy analysis and development; epidemiology and surveillance; dissemination of treatment and management guidelines; harm reduction initiatives; public and provider outreach and education; and community involvement and interagency collaboration.
