Research Assistant II - Leukemia

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description paragraphs. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract content. First paragraph: description of MD Anderson, Leukemia department, role. That's about the role. Could be "About the role". We'll put that in

. Then responsibilities: there is a "Responsibilities" heading in original with subheadings Laboratory Operations, Molecular & Cellular Biology, Research Support & Documentation, Additional Responsibilities. We'll combine into a

• list of duties. Should we keep subheadings? Probably just list items. We'll capture each bullet. Responsibilities list: - Maintain and organize leukemia banking samples and research biospecimens - Process and store bone marrow and blood specimens following protocol requirements - Coordinate with research nurses to obtain patient blood, bone marrow aspirates, and tumor samples - Maintain accurate, detailed, and legible laboratory documentation - Operate laboratory equipment for biospecimen processing and storage - Review literature and confer with supervisors to update procedures - Record and evaluate data as assigned - Maintain attention to detail and alertness while working with samples - Comply with institutional safety policies, including the use of biological safety cabinet - Perform routine maintenance of ultra-low freezers and monitor liquid nitrogen, CO2, and water levels - Perform bone marrow aspirate processing to produce mononuclear cells - Complete serum extraction, DNA preparation, and RNA extraction - Maintain tissue culture cell lines using proper sterile techniques - Observe cells under the microscope and assess culture health - Determine cell counts using a hemocytometer - Perform small-volume pipetting tasks with accuracy - Obtain and process samples consistently and promptly - Troubleshoot laboratory issues and seek guidance as needed - Demonstrate full understanding of assigned research projects and protocols - Present project updates during weekly laboratory meetings - Maintain organized handwritten and digital records of procedures and protocols - Participate in SOP quality control reviews - Perform biospecimen inventory checks and documentation reviews - Collaborate with team members and directors to resolve workflow issues - Perform other duties as assigned Now Requirements: The posting includes "Licenses and certifications are not specified." That's not specific; we should not create a section for that if it's just not specified. Also "Education Required: Bachelor's Degree Basic Science. Preferred: Master's Degree Basic Science. Preferred: Medical Degree". That's qualifications. Also "Work Experience Required: One year Scientific or experimental research work experience or no experience required with preferred degree." That's also qualifications/experience. Skills: The posting mentions "Candidates should demonstrate strong attention to detail, experience working in a research laboratory environment, proficiency in sample handling and documentation, and the ability to work independently while maintaining compliance with laboratory safety standards." That's skills. Benefits: There's a "Why Us?" section with benefits list. Also later "The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center offers excellent benefits, including medical, dental, paid time off, retirement, tuition benefits, educational opportunities, and individual and team recognition." So we have benefits. Pay: Salary Information: Minimum $45,000 - Midpoint Salary $56,500 - Maximum Salary - $68,000. Also later Minimum Salary etc. So we have pay. Schedule: "Typical Work Schedule: Days". Also "Work Week: Days, Weekends". So schedule: Days (maybe also weekends). We'll include schedule section. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

  for each section heading. Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to decide which content goes where. About the role: The initial descriptive paragraphs (maybe two paragraphs). We'll combine into

    . Responsibilities: as

    • . Requirements: maybe combine education and experience? The spec says use headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We have education and experience under Qualifications? Actually "Requirements" could be education and experience. "Qualifications" could be preferred degrees. But we can combine. However we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see: we have education (Bachelor's required, Master's preferred, Medical preferred). Experience: One year scientific or experimental research work experience or no experience required with preferred degree. That's qualifications. We'll put under "Qualifications". For "Requirements" maybe we could put licenses and certifications (none) but that's not specific. Better to skip Requirements if not substantive. But we need to follow instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we can skip Requirements if not specific. However we have education and experience which are qualifications. So we can have a "Qualifications" section. Skills: we have attention to detail, lab experience, proficiency in sample handling/documentation, ability to work independently, compliance with safety standards. That's skills. Benefits: list from Why Us? plus later benefits. Pay: salary range. Schedule: typical work schedule days, also work week days weekends. We must not repeat job title. Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive info. Let's capture all details. From "Why Us?": - Employer-paid medical coverage starting day one for employees working 30+ hours/week - optional group dental, vision, life, AD&D, and disability insurance - Accruals for PTO and Extended Illness Bank, plus paid holidays, wellness, childcare, and other leave options - Tuition Assistance Program after six months of service - access to extensive wellness, fitness, and employee resource groups - Defined-benefit pension through the Teachers Retirement System - voluntary retirement plans - employer-paid life and reduced salary protection programs Later: "The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center offers excellent benefits, including medical, dental, paid time off, retirement, tuition benefits, educational opportunities, and individual and team recognition." This is somewhat redundant but we should keep. We'll combine into a benefits list. Now Pay: we have Minimum $45,000 - Midpoint Salary $56,500 - Maximum Salary - $68,000. Also later Minimum Salary: US Dollar (USD) 45,000 Midpoint Salary: US Dollar (USD) 56,500 Maximum Salary : US Dollar (USD) 68,000. We'll just present as range. Schedule: "Typical Work Schedule: Days". Also "Work Week: Days, Weekends". So schedule: Days (including weekends). We'll note. Now About the role: Let's extract the descriptive paragraphs: "The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is a leading academic cancer center dedicated to cancer patient care, research, education, and prevention. Within the Leukemia department, the Research Assistant II supports critical laboratory and biospecimen operations that advance leukemia research, biobanking initiatives, and translational science programs. The Research Assistant II works with clinical and research teams to ensure the integrity, processing, storage, and documentation of valuable patient specimens. The Research Assistant II plays a key role in supporting laboratory workflows, maintaining biospecimen inventories, and performing molecular and cellular biology techniques. The Research Assistant II contributes directly to research efforts by processing samples, maintaining laboratory records, supporting protocol compliance, and assisting with laboratory operations essential to the mission of UT MD Anderson." That's about the role. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, legal statements, requisition ID, etc. Remove those. Now produce HTML. Structure:

          Schedule

          Typical work schedule: Days (including weekends).

          Check we didn't miss any substantive info: The "Additional Responsibilities Perform other duties as assigned" we included as bullet. Also "This position may be responsible for maintaining the security and integrity of critical infrastructure..." That's a substantive statement about security responsibilities. Should we include? It's about security and integrity of critical infrastructure, condition of hire. That's substantive. We should include it somewhere, maybe under Responsibilities as an additional bullet. Let's add bullet: "Responsible for maintaining the security and integrity of critical infrastructure, including routine reviews and screening to ensure continued security and integrity (condition of hire and continued employment)." Also "The ability to satisfy and maintain all requirements necessary to ensure the continued security and integrity of such infrastructure is a condition of hire and continued employment." Already covered. Also "FLSA: exempt and not eligible for overtime pay" that's metadata about overtime eligibility. Could be considered schedule? But it's about FLSA status. Might be considered part of Pay? Not exactly. It's substantive but maybe we can include under Pay or a separate section? The instruction says include section only when posting has real specific content. We could add a note under Pay or maybe under Schedule? But FLSA is not pay or schedule. Could be under "Additional Information". However we are not to create sections for minor metadata. Might be okay to include as a brief note under Pay or maybe under Responsibilities? Probably better to add a bullet under Responsibilities: "Position is FLSA exempt and not eligible for overtime pay." But that's not a duty. Could be under "Additional Information". However we are told to drop minor metadata like Job ID/requisition numbers. FLSA status might be considered metadata but it's substantive about overtime eligibility. I'd include it as a bullet under Responsibilities maybe as a note. Also "Work Location: Onsite - Houston, Texas" we haven't included location. That's substantive. Should we include? The instruction says we can include location maybe under About the role or a separate section? There's no heading for Location. Could add a paragraph under About the role. But we already have About the role paragraph; we could add location there.
