We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. The posting includes description of duties, location, status, hours, then a paragraph about UTHealth Houston, then benefits description (though earlier says "No benefits" but later says benefits package includes... contradictory). We need to preserve all substantive info. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not create sections with placeholder or generic text. We need to extract actual content. Let's parse: First paragraph: "This individual will conduct and coordinate daily preclinical research on stroke and heart–brain interactions, including animal experiments, tissue collection, laboratory assays, data analysis, and accurate documentation. They will also support mouse colony management, laboratory operations, and collaboration across the research team This position is located with our department of Neurology. It is a Non Exempt, Casual status position with No benefits. The role is not to exceed 19.5 hours per week." So we have duties/responsibilities: conduct and coordinate daily preclinical research..., support mouse colony management, laboratory operations, collaboration across team. Location: department of Neurology. Status: Non Exempt, Casual status, No benefits. Schedule: not exceed 19.5 hours per week. Then: "What we do here changes the world. UTHealth Houston is Texas’ resource for healthcare education, innovation, scientific discovery, and excellence in patient care. That’s where you come in. Once you join us you won't want to leave. It’s because we reward our team for the excellent service they provide. Our total rewards package includes the benefits you’d expect from a top healthcare organization (benefits, insurance, etc.), plus: 100% paid medical premiums for our full-time employees Generous time off (holidays, preventative leave day, both vacation and sick time – all of which equates to around 37-38 days per year) The longer you stay, the more vacation you’ll accrue!

As a world-renowned institution, our employees’ wellbeing is important to us. We offer work/life services such as... Free financial and legal counseling Free mental health counseling services Gym membership discounts and access to wellness programs Other employee discounts including entertainment, car rentals, cell phones, etc. Resources for child and elder care Plus many more!" This is benefits description, but note earlier says "No benefits". However we must preserve all substantive info; we cannot discard contradictory statements. We'll include both statements: "No benefits" and then benefits description. Probably they intend that casual position has no benefits, but then they list benefits for full-time employees. We'll keep both. Then "Position Summary: The Research Assistant I, under general supervision, conducts basic/ translational research which may include animal work and other activities according to research protocol. Research activities may include some or all of the following: handling biological samples, laboratory experiments and activities, and data collection." Then "Position Key Accountabilities: Under general supervision, performs laboratory experiments and activities to support research objectives.Collects, organize and prepares research data to provide needed information to principal investigators and other researchers. Updates notebooks, records, and databases as needed.Maintains clean laboratory equipment and/or work area to ensure a safe and efficient work environment.Orders laboratory and/or other supplies as directed by senior research staff.Stays abreast of new and updated procedures and protocols for the research laboratory. Must maintain compliance with required training. May participate in continuing education programs, seminars, and workshops.As needed, may coordinate the work of technicians to ensure efficient, timely and high-quality results.Performs other duties as assigned." Then "Certification/Skills: General knowledge of research fields Minimum Education: Bachelor's Degree required May substitute required education with equivalent years of experience beyond the minimum experience requirement. Minimum Experience: None Physical Requirements: Exerts up to 20 pounds of force occasionally and/or up to 10 pounds frequently and/or a negligible amount constantly to move objects. Security Sensitive: This position is a security-sensitive position pursuant to Texas Education Code 51.215 and Texas Government Code411.094. To the extent that a position requires the holder to research, work on, or have access to critical infrastructure as defined in Texas Business and Commerce Code117.001(2), the ability to maintain the security or integrity of the infrastructure is a minimum qualification to be hired for and to continue to be employed in that position. Personnel in such positions, and similarly situated state contractors, will be routinely reviewed to determine whether things such as criminal history or continuous connections to the government or political apparatus of a foreign adversary might prevent the applicant, employee, or contractor from being able to maintain the security or integrity of the infrastructure. A foreign adversary is a nation listed in 15 C.F.R.791.4. Residency Requirement: Employees must permanently reside and work in the State of Texas." We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe position summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (education, experience, physical, security, residency), Qualifications (maybe certification/skills), Skills (general knowledge of research fields), Benefits (the benefits description), Pay (none mentioned), Schedule (hours limit). We should not create Pay section if no pay info. Schedule we have "not to exceed 19.5 hours per week". That's schedule info. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, using

for section headings,
  • for lists,

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive info; we can combine some into paragraphs. Let's craft sections: - About the role: maybe combine position summary and description? Could be "About the role" with prose summarizing role. - Responsibilities: list of duties from first paragraph and key accountabilities. - Requirements: education, experience, physical requirements, security sensitive, residency requirement. - Qualifications: maybe certification/skills? Could be "Qualifications" includes certification/skills and general knowledge. - Skills: maybe "General knowledge of research fields" as skill. - Benefits: the benefits description (including note about no benefits for casual? We'll include both statements). - Schedule: "The role is not to exceed 19.5 hours per week." We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not create sections with empty content. Let's extract specifics: About the role: Could be the position summary plus initial description: "This individual will conduct and coordinate daily preclinical research on stroke and heart–brain interactions, including animal experiments, tissue collection, laboratory assays, data analysis, and accurate documentation. They will also support mouse colony management, laboratory operations, and collaboration across the research team. The position is located in the Department of Neurology." Also include position summary: "The Research Assistant I, under general supervision, conducts basic/ translational research which may include animal work and other activities according to research protocol. Research activities may include some or all of the following: handling biological samples, laboratory experiments and activities, and data collection." We can combine. Responsibilities: list from first paragraph and key accountabilities. Let's list duties: - Conduct and coordinate daily preclinical research on stroke and heart–brain interactions - Animal experiments - Tissue collection - Laboratory assays - Data analysis - Accurate documentation - Support mouse colony management - Support laboratory operations - Collaboration across the research team - Perform laboratory experiments and activities to support research objectives - Collect, organize and prepare research data to provide needed information to principal investigators and other researchers - Update notebooks, records, and databases as needed - Maintain clean laboratory equipment and/or work area to ensure a safe and efficient work environment - Order laboratory and/or other supplies as directed by senior research staff - Stay abreast of new and updated procedures and protocols for the research laboratory - Maintain compliance with required training - Participate in continuing education programs, seminars, and workshops (as needed) - Coordinate the work of technicians to ensure efficient, timely and high-quality results (as needed) - Perform other duties as assigned We can make a

      list. Requirements: Education: Bachelor's Degree required; may substitute with equivalent years of experience beyond minimum experience requirement. Minimum Experience: None. Physical Requirements: Exerts up to 20 pounds of force occasionally and/or up to 10 pounds frequently and/or a negligible amount constantly to move objects. Security Sensitive: description. Residency Requirement: Employees must permanently reside and work in the State of Texas. We can put each as

      or list. Qualifications: Certification/Skills: General knowledge of research fields. Could be under Qualifications. Skills: maybe same as above; but we can separate: Skills: General knowledge of research fields. But we might combine Certification/Skills as Qualifications. Better: Qualifications: General knowledge of research fields; Bachelor's Degree required; may substitute education with equivalent experience; No prior experience required. But we already have education in Requirements. To avoid duplication, we need to decide where each piece goes. The instruction: Use sections for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should not duplicate content across sections unless it's naturally part of each. We can allocate: - About the role: narrative summary. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: education, experience, physical requirements, security sensitive, residency. - Qualifications: maybe certification/skills? But certification/skills is "General knowledge of research fields". Could be under Qualifications. - Skills: maybe same as qualifications? Could be left empty; better not to create Skills if no distinct skill list beyond general knowledge. But we could put "General knowledge of research fields" under Skills and leave Qualifications empty? But we must not create empty sections. So we need to decide which section to put that content. We could treat "General knowledge of research fields" as a skill, and put under Skills. Then Qualifications could be empty? Better to put under Qualifications: "General knowledge of research fields" as a qualification. Then Skills maybe we could omit if no distinct skill list. But we need to avoid empty sections. So we can omit Skills section entirely if no specific skill list beyond what's covered. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So if we don't have distinct skill content beyond what's already in Qualifications, we can omit Skills. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Schedule. Pay: no info, omit. Now Benefits: we have contradictory statements: "It is a Non Exempt, Casual status position with No benefits." and later benefits description for full-time employees. We need to preserve both. So we can include a paragraph: "This position is a Non Exempt, Casual status position with No benefits." Then another paragraph describing the benefits package for full-time employees: list items. We'll put that under Benefits. Schedule: "The role is not to exceed 19.5 hours per week." Now we need to format. Let's craft HTML:
