R&D Meat-Food Scientist Intern

for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Intro paragraph about Link Snacks (company description). Could be considered "About the role"? Actually it's about company. Could be "About the role" maybe not. But we can include a section "About the role" with description of internship: "Join our team as a Research & Development Meat/Food Scientist Intern during the summer of 2027 and Feed Your Wild Side! Your internship will be based in Minneapolis, MN. You will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience through formal and informal training, managing projects, attending events, networking with fellow interns, working with key Jack Link’s leaders and team members. At the completion of your internship, you will conduct a final presentation on your internship experience." - Then description of role: "From concept to commercialization, R&D Meat and Food Scientists are the leaders and drivers of new product development at Jack Link’s. As a Meat/Food Scientist Intern you will join us in a highly collaborative role, working closely with the R&D team, operations, food safety & quality (FSQ), business management, marketing, sales, consumer insights, and procurement; in order to run pilot plant tests, execute plant trials, and to effectively launch new protein snacks." - Then "Essential Functions & Responsibilities:" list bullet points: - Provide hands on support in determining root cause and finding solutions for problems in food products such as sensory, quality, or processing issues. - Participate on cross-functional teams to identify areas of opportunity in cost reduction, yield improvement, and formulation/process improvement and efficiencies. - Support the design and execution of appropriate testing methodologies to validate changes to raw materials, formulations, and process. - Coordinate testing plans with food safety, regulatory, quality and operations. - Generate written reports, interpret results, and make next step recommendations. - Some travel may be required - Then "Qualifications Minimum requirements:" list bullet points: - Working towards a Bachelor of Science degree in Meat Science, Food Science or related field - Proficient written and oral communication skills - Comfortable in a fast paced, changing environment - Must be able to communicate effectively with various manufacturing and marketing functional groups at various levels - Must be flexible and able to work well in a team environment - Express a strong work ethic and execute responsibilities in a professional manner - Comfortable working in refrigerated environments while performing tests, though vast majority of work will be in standard office setting - Then "Preferred Qualifications:" bullet points: - Completed junior year coursework in a Bachelor’s degree program - Meat processing industry knowledge and experience - Then "Additional Information": includes pay range: "The hiring range for this role is $23 to $25 per hour for a Bachelor's degree candidate and $30 per hour for a Master's degree candidate. Actual wages will vary based on several factors, including but not limited to external market data, internal equity, location, and candidate skill set and experience." - Then "LINK SNACKS CORE VALUES:" list values: Be Real, Speed Matters, Stewardship, Relationship Driven, Self-Discipline, and Show Awesome Character. - Then "PHYSICAL DEMANDS" description: paragraphs. - Then "WORK ENVIRONMENT" description. - Then EEO etc which we must remove. We need to decide sections: We can have sections: About the role (intro + role description), Responsibilities (Essential Functions & Responsibilities), Qualifications (Minimum requirements + Preferred Qualifications), Skills (maybe combine communication etc?), Benefits (maybe core values? Not exactly benefits but could be considered benefits? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Benefits: not explicitly listed; core values maybe not benefits. Pay: we have pay range, so we can include Pay section. Schedule: not mentioned. So we should not create Schedule. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". The pay description includes "Actual wages will vary based on several factors..." That's not filler; it's specific. So we can include Pay. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include the intro paragraphs, responsibilities list, qualifications list (both minimum and preferred), core values maybe as a list under a section like "Company Values" (could be Benefits? but we can make a section "Company Values" using

  maybe not in prescribed list but we can still use

  for any section heading? The instruction says use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive; we can still use

  for other headings? Probably we should stick to those headings where applicable. For core values maybe we can put under "Benefits" or "Skills"? Not exactly. Could create a section "Company Values" but not in list; maybe better to incorporate into "About the role" as prose. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can include core values as a

  inside a

  ?? Actually we need to use

  • for any list. So we can make a

    Company Values

    and then
    • ... but the instruction says use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but to be safe we could incorporate core values into a "Benefits" section? Benefits usually refer to compensation/benefits like health insurance etc. Not present. Could treat core values as "Skills"? Not appropriate. Maybe we can create a section "Company Values" using

      anyway; the instruction didn't say we cannot use other headings, just gave examples. It says "use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That implies we should use h3 for headings, and those are examples of possible headings. So we can use h3 for any heading we need. Thus we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Company Values, Physical Demands, Work Environment. But we need to avoid thin sections. However we have substantive content for each. We must not include EEO etc. We need to remove duplicated lines. Let's extract content: Intro paragraph: "At Link Snacks, we show up hungry, roll up our sleeves, plaid or otherwise, and dive straight into the hard work. We don’t hide from challenges; we hunt them down. We push harder, move faster, and take the kinds of big swings that built this business in the North Woods of Wisconsin four decades ago. We’re everyday people who deliver extraordinary results. Innovation, creativity, and urgency aren’t buzzwords, they’re expectations. And just like the real protein snacks we make across our global house of brands—Jack Link’s®, Lorissa’s Kitchen®, Golden Island®, BiFi®, and Peperami® and KOOEE!® to name a few—there’s nothing artificial about us. What you see is exactly what you get: humble, gritty, passionate people who show up every day ready to not just be a participate in the meat snack industry that the Link Family created, but to move faster, innovate harder and keep raising the bar so high, the rest of the world needs a ladder just to see it. Dominating this space across the world takes a team. A team that runs together, succeeds together, and celebrates together. A team that’s full of relentless energy and spirit that can only be fueled by one thing: a fist full of our delicious meat snacks. Real Meat Protein. Real People. Real Results. THAT is Link Snacks." Then "Job Description Join our team as a Research & Development Meat/Food Scientist Intern during the summer of 2027 and Feed Your Wild Side! Your internship will be based in Minneapolis, MN. You will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience through formal and informal training, managing projects, attending events, networking with fellow interns, working with key Jack Link’s leaders and team members. At the completion of your internship, you will conduct a final presentation on your internship experience." Then "From concept to commercialization, R&D Meat and Food Scientists are the leaders and drivers of new product development at Jack Link’s. As a Meat/Food Scientist Intern you will join us in a highly collaborative role, working closely with the R&D team, operations, food safety & quality (FSQ), business management, marketing, sales, consumer insights, and procurement; in order to run pilot plant tests, execute plant trials, and to effectively launch new protein snacks." We could combine these into About the role. Responsibilities list as above. Qualifications: Minimum requirements list and Preferred Qualifications list. Pay: The hiring range... etc. Company Values: list. Physical Demands: paragraphs. Work Environment: paragraphs. We need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY..." etc. Now produce HTML. We'll need to wrap each section in

      heading then content. For lists: use

      • ...

      . For prose:

      ...

      . We need to preserve all substantive info; we should not omit any details like "Some travel may be required" etc. Let's craft. Section About the role: combine intro paragraph + job description paragraph + role description paragraph. We'll put them in

      maybe multiple

      tags. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading; we are not. Now Responsibilities: heading

      Responsibilities

      then
      with each bullet. Qualifications: heading

      Qualifications

      then maybe we need to separate Minimum and Preferred? Could have two subheadings? But we can just list all qualifications with maybe a note. However we need to preserve distinction. Could do

      Minimum Requirements

      and

      Preferred Qualifications

      . But the instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It lists Requirements and Qualifications as separate possible headings. So we could have

      Requirements

      for minimum, and

      Preferred Qualifications

      for preferred. Or we could combine under Qualifications with subheadings

      but not allowed? We only have h3. Safer to split: Requirements (minimum) and Preferred Qualifications. Thus:

      Requirements

      ... minimum requirements ...

      Preferred Qualifications
