Then other boilerplate: CAMPUS SECURITY CRIME STATISTICS, EEO IS THE LAW, etc. Remove those.
We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe a summary), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe required qualifications), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills (maybe skills like proficient in MS Office, communication, etc.), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for Pay (salary range) and Benefits (benefits description). Schedule: we have flexible work arrangement (remote and on-campus) and travel required. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
We need to decide headings: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (required qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (maybe list of skills like communication, MS Office, etc.), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title. Use for each section heading.
We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the specifics: e.g., ARL description, team size, etc. Should we put that in About the role? Probably yes.
We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Questions related to flexible work should be directed to the hiring manager during the interview process." That's part of schedule/flexible work; we can keep that as part of schedule description.
We must not include application instructions (cover letter, resume etc.) - remove.
We must not include EEO, background checks? The background checks section is substantive? It says employment requires background check, no visa sponsorship, authorized to work in US. That's substantive but maybe could be part of Requirements? However instructions: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Background checks might be considered legal? It's about employment requirement; but it's not EEO. It's a condition of employment. Might be considered legal boilerplate? The instruction says remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Background check is a legal requirement; but it's also substantive. However typical job postings include that; but they said remove legal boilerplate. I'd err on side of removing it to be safe. However they said "Preserve ALL substantive information". Background check is substantive. But they also said remove legal boilerplate. Might be ambiguous. I'd keep it under Requirements maybe as a note: "Must be eligible for government security clearance, participate in ARL drug testing, comply with electronic/physical monitoring, be US citizen." That's from earlier security clearance section. That's definitely substantive. The background check section about visa sponsorship etc is also substantive but maybe less unique. I'd keep the security clearance and citizenship requirements; drop the generic background check sentence about visa sponsorship as it's more boilerplate.
We also need to drop the "Minimum Education, Work Experience & Required Certifications" but we can incorporate that into Requirements or Qualifications.
We need to avoid duplication.
Let's craft sections:
