Research Assistant 2 (Term position, 20 hours/week)
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Must not create sections with placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Schedule only if posting actually states them. The posting includes: "The starting wage rate is $19.41 per hour, depending on qualifications, experience, department budgets, and industry data." That's pay info. Also schedule: "This is a part-time 20-hour per week, 2.5 year term position." So schedule info present. Benefits: "Employees receive more than just a paycheck. University employees enjoy a comprehensive benefits package that includes excellent healthcare, retirement plans, tuition assistance, paid time off, and a winter recess." Also later: "Term employees are not eligible for life insurance, retirement, long term disability, short term disability, tuition assistance, layoff status, or severance pay." So benefits info includes both eligibility and non-eligibility. We need to preserve all substantive info. So Benefits section should include description of benefits package and note about term employees not eligible for certain benefits.
We also have "About the role" maybe from POSITION OBJECTIVE and description. Could use "About the role" heading for position objective and overview. Responsibilities: Essential Functions and Nonessential Functions. Qualifications: Education/Experience and maybe other qualifications. Skills: Required Skills. Also there is "SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITY" maybe part of Responsibilities or Skills? Could be under Responsibilities. Also "WORKING CONDITIONS" maybe part of Responsibilities or separate? Not listed as allowed heading; we could put under Responsibilities or maybe a separate section but only allowed headings are those listed. So we need to fit content into those headings. We can put working conditions under Responsibilities or maybe under About the role. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can include it under Responsibilities as a list.
We must not invent sections. Use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to avoid repeating job title. No markdown.
Let's craft:
About the role
POSITION OBJECTIVE Working under general supervision, the Research Assistant 2 will plan and carry out research projects in accordance with general plans. The research objective of the projects in the lab will be to understand the embryonic development of skull bone. The research assistant will be in charge of dissections, processing tissues, histology, genotyping, and helping with the care of animals. The research assistant will also work with students, new members of the lab, collaborations, and the general upkeep of laboratory. This position will work with animals. This is a part-time 20-hour per week, 2.5 year term position.
But schedule already covered; maybe we mention schedule in About the role? However schedule is separate section. We could still mention schedule in About the role but also have Schedule section. That's okay as long as not duplicate? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. It's okay to have some overlap? Might be considered duplication but not prohibited. Better to keep schedule separate and not repeat in About the role. So About the role should contain position objective and overview without schedule. Let's extract: "POSITION OBJECTIVE Working under general supervision, the Research Assistant 2 will plan and carry out research projects in accordance with general plans. The research objective of the projects in the lab will be to understand the embryonic development of skull bone. The research assistant will be in charge of dissections, processing tissues, histology, genotyping, and helping with the care of animals. The research assistant will also work with students, new members of the lab, collaborations, and the general upkeep of laboratory. This position will work with animals."
That's the objective. We'll put that in .
Now Responsibilities: Essential Functions and Nonessential Functions. We'll make a list.
Essential Functions bullet points with percentages. We'll capture each.
Essential Functions:
- Conduct a series of experiments to supply scientific information as part of a larger project. (40%)
- May assist in developing improved techniques, projection methods, and procedures. Focus on improving histology and imaging techniques. (10%)
- Collect and analyze data. Collect embryos, generate cryosections, perform gene expression analysis on tissues and do confocal imaging. The focus will be on mouse craniofacial embryonic development. (25%)
- Oversee inventory in the lab of chemicals, consumables. May be involved in basic lab organization, updating inventory, ordering, safety related materials. Maintain certain equipment facilities. Keep equipment clean and functional. If equipment needs repair, contact company and follow instructions. (15%)

Nonessential Functions:
- Perform other duties as assigned. (

Now Skills: Required Skills list.
We need to extract all required skills bullet points.

Now Benefits: We have description: "Employees receive more than just a paycheck.

Also note about term employees: "Term employees are not eligible for life insurance, retirement, long term disability, short term disability, tuition assistance, layoff status, or severance pay."

Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove all that.
Also remove duplicated lines: there may be repeated sentences about animal facilities accreditation etc. That's under Working Conditions but we might not have a section for it; we could include under Responsibilities or About the role? The working conditions details: "General laboratory environment in Millis Building and in the Animal Resource Center in Wolstein building. Desk space in the lab with access to a shared computer as needed. Common space in Millis Building and access to shared instrumentation facilities in the building complex. The employee will need to walk to the mouse facility in Wolstein building on campus which is a 10 minute walk. Must be able to sit for long periods of time (2 to 3 hours) for cryosectioning and imaging. May have to go to the confocal core facility in the Robbins building in the medical school. Employee will be exposed to small quantities (less than 10 mls) of 4% paraformaldehyde in the hood, and oral gavaging Tamoxifen to adult mice. Personal protective equipment, including lab coat, gloves and goggles, will be provided to limit exposure to hazards. There is no external travel. Sometimes additional hours are needed to complete an experiment, the hours may be adjusted. Case Western Reserve University's animal facilities are accredited by the Association for the Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC) and is managed according to the "Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals¿ appropriate Federal Animal Welfare Regulations, and the Public Health Service ¿Policy on the Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals." This position, and all animal research personnel, are subject to internal compliance to Animal Resource Center Standard Operating Procedures and to compliance regulations of the Animal Welfare Act, Public Health Service Policy, AAALAC guidelines, the State of Ohio Veterinary Practice Act, Federal Drug Enforcement Administration regulatory guidelines, US Food and Drug Administration Center for Veterinary Medicine regulations and other applicable regulatory guidelines."
We need to preserve this substantive info. Where to put? Could be under Responsibilities as part of duties? Or maybe under About the role? But we have no specific heading for Working Conditions; we could add a
Working Conditions
but not allowed per instructions (only those headings). So we must fit into allowed headings. Perhaps we can put under Responsibilities as part of duties (like "Work environment" etc). Or under About the role. Since About the role already has position objective; we could add a paragraph about working conditions after objective. That would preserve info.
Thus About the role will have two paragraphs: objective and working conditions.
Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Case Western Reserve University is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Remove.
Now produce HTML.
Check for any repeated lines: we must avoid duplicating same sentence. We'll be careful.
Now craft final HTML.
