Research Administrator Senior
$20/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings present in posting: About the role? Not present. Responsibilities, Requirements (Qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections with real specific content.
Let's parse posting:
- Mission Statement: not needed as heading? Could be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only if posting has real specific content for it.
We have:
- Job Summary: could be considered "About the role". It contains description. So we can create About the role
with paragraph(s) from Job Summary.
- Responsibilities*: list of duties. So Responsibilities
with - items.
- Required Qualifications*: list of qualifications. Could be
Requirements
or Qualifications
. The instruction includes both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We need to decide. Probably combine into one section "Requirements" (or "Qualifications"). Since they have "Required Qualifications*" and "Desired Qualifications*". We could have a section "Requirements" for required qualifications, and maybe another "Preferred Qualifications" but not in list. The instruction only lists certain headings; we could use "Requirements" for required qualifications and maybe "Qualifications" for desired? But better to follow instruction: use headings from list; we can include both "Requirements" and "Qualifications" if content exists. However we should avoid thin sections. Could combine required and desired into one "Qualifications" section with subparts? But instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe one "Qualifications" section covering both required and desired. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can include both required and desired within same section using paragraphs.
- Benefits: posting mentions "This position provides vacation, sick, and holiday time, as well as the full range of benefits provided by the University of Michigan." Also later "What Benefits can you Look Forward to? Excellent medical, dental and vision coverage effective on your very first day 2:1 Match on retirement savings". So we have benefits content. So include Benefits
with paragraphs.
- Pay: posting mentions "In addition, Cardiovascular Medicine pays competitive salaries commensurate with experience". That's vague; "commensurate with experience" is placeholder; instruction says do NOT include Pay section unless posting actually states them, and never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". So we should NOT include Pay section.
- Schedule: not mentioned; no schedule specifics. So omit.
- Skills: not explicitly separate; could be part of qualifications. We'll not create separate Skills section.
- About the role: we have Job Summary and Mission Statement maybe. We'll include About the role with job summary paragraph(s). Also maybe include mission statement? It's generic but could be part of About the role. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; mission statement is substantive but generic. It's okay to include.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out: Application Deadline, Background Screening, U-M EEO Statement, etc. Also "Learn more about the work modes." maybe not needed? It's part of work modes description; but we might keep work modes? Not in headings list; but could be part of About the role? Probably not needed; we can drop.
We need to keep: Mission Statement, Job Summary, Responsibilities, Required Qualifications, Desired Qualifications, Benefits (including vacation etc and medical etc). Also maybe "Modes of Work" but not required heading; could be omitted.
Let's extract content.
Mission Statement paragraph:
"Mission Statement Michigan Medicine improves the health of patients, populations and communities through excellence in education, patient care, community service, research and technology development, and through leadership activities in Michigan, nationally and internationally. Our mission is guided by our Strategic Principles and has three critical components; patient care, education and research that together enhance our contribution to society."
We'll put as paragraph.
Job Summary:
"The Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Department of Internal Medicine, Michigan Medicine is seeking a full-time Research Administrator Senior to join its Post-Award Financial Team. The Division of Cardiovascular Medicine (CVM) has a growing and robust research program, serving over 130 faculty, $20 million in yearly sponsored research expenditures during FY2026, and a significant volume of non-sponsored activity. Sponsored funding is comprised of awards from National Institutes of Health, industry sponsors, and multiple foundations such as the American Heart Association. Clinical trials will be managed in collaboration with the Clinical Trials Support Unit (CTSU). This position provides vacation, sick, and holiday time, as well as the full range of benefits provided by the University of Michigan. In addition, Cardiovascular Medicine pays competitive salaries commensurate with experience, and boasts a culture of acceptance, openness, flexibility, and teamwork."
We need to avoid repeating "This position provides vacation..." maybe we will keep in Benefits section later; but it's also in Job Summary. We could keep it there but might duplicate. Better to keep benefits separate; but we can keep it in Job Summary as part of summary; but then Benefits section will also mention similar. To avoid duplication, we could remove that sentence from Job Summary and keep only in Benefits. However instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; we can't discard. But we can avoid duplication by not repeating same sentence in both places; we can keep it in Benefits and not in Job Summary. However Job Summary originally includes that sentence; if we remove it, we lose that info from Job Summary. But we can keep it in Benefits and still have it represented; the info is still present overall. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; not necessarily that each piece must appear in original location; as long as it's present somewhere in output. So we can move it to Benefits section.
Thus Job Summary paragraph will exclude the benefits sentence. Also remove the salary sentence (competitive salaries commensurate with experience) as placeholder for Pay; we will not include Pay section, but we could keep that sentence in Job Summary? It's about pay; but it's placeholder; we should not include Pay section but we could keep the sentence as part of Job Summary? It's still about pay but vague. The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It doesn't forbid mentioning pay in other sections. However the sentence "competitive salaries commensurate with experience" is vague placeholder; maybe we should keep it as it's substantive? It's not specific; but it's still info. The instruction about Pay section: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It doesn't say we cannot mention pay elsewhere. However they also say "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". That's about headings. So we can keep the sentence in a paragraph elsewhere; it's not a heading. So we can keep it in Job Summary.
Thus Job Summary paragraph: keep everything except the benefits sentence? We'll keep the benefits sentence maybe in Benefits section; but we can keep it also in Job Summary? Might duplicate. Safer to keep it only in Benefits section to avoid duplication. We'll remove from Job Summary.
Thus Job Summary paragraph: "The Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Department of Internal Medicine, Michigan Medicine is seeking a full-time Research Administrator Senior to join its Post-Award Financial Team. The Division of Cardiovascular Medicine (CVM) has a growing and robust research program, serving over 130 faculty, $20 million in yearly sponsored research expenditures during FY2026, and a significant volume of non-sponsored activity. Sponsored funding is comprised of awards from National Institutes of Health, industry sponsors, and multiple foundations such as the American Heart Association. Clinical trials will be managed in collaboration with the Clinical Trials Support Unit (CTSU). In addition, Cardiovascular Medicine pays competitive salaries commensurate with experience, and boasts a culture of acceptance, openness, flexibility, and teamwork."
Now Responsibilities: we need to extract list items. The responsibilities block includes a paragraph then a list. Let's capture each duty.
Responsibilities* block:
"This position reports to the Post-Award Research Administration Manager and works very closely with a team of post-award and pre-award staff managing Cardiovascular Medicine?s research activities. The selected candidate will be responsible for proper stewardship of sponsored and non-sponsored projects using various University accounting and information systems including, but not limited to, Business Objects, M-Reports, and M-Pathways. The Duties Of This Position Include The Following Perform reconciliation of project grants using various accounting and information systemsRead, understand, and interpret sponsored grant and clinical trial contract terms and conditionsAnticipate reporting deadlines and close-out deadlines for sponsored grantsDetermine the correct project grants for salary support for faculty and staffAnalyze the financial status of individual projects as well as faculty members? full portfolios, including, forecasting expenses, projecting budget period balancesand proactively anticipate changes in effort and gaps in funding Meet with faculty on a regular basis to review their accounts and provide complete outlook of financial portfolios.

Projects include, but are not limited to development of the annual budget and faculty effort reviewsAttend medical school and university meetings to stay fully up to date on grant and contract requirements."
We need to split into sensible list items. The text is messy; we can break at each capitalized verb phrase. Let's create list items:
- Reports to the Post-Award Research Administration Manager and works closely with post-award and pre-award staff managing Cardiovascular Medicine's research activities.
- Responsible for proper stewardship of sponsored and non-sponsored projects using various University accounting and information systems including Business Objects, M-Reports, and M-Pathways.
