Research Assistant II, Neurology

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

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 as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "NOTE: Occasional work during weekend hours may be required" maybe part of schedule? It's a note about schedule; we can include in Schedule section if present. The posting includes Schedule: 40 hours per week, On-site. Also note occasional weekend hours. So we can include schedule details. We have Position Summary (prose). Could be About the role? The posting includes "Position Summary". We can treat that as About the role. Use

About the role

then

with summary. Responsibilities: there is a "Job Responsibilities" heading with list. We'll output

Responsibilities

then

• each bullet. Requirements: includes Education, Experience, maybe Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities. The posting has sections: Education, Experience, Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities. We can combine into Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use headings for those categories. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have Education (Bachelor's degree required, Masters a plus). Experience (Minimum 1+ years, knowledge of medical terminology, experience recruiting subjects). Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities (list). We could put Education and Experience under Requirements, and Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities under Skills. Or we could have Requirements (Education + Experience) and Skills (Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities). Also Qualifications maybe not needed if we already have Requirements and Skills. But we can include Qualifications if there is distinct content; but we can skip if redundant. Benefits: there is a "Job Benefits" section with bullet list. We'll include Benefits. Pay: there is "Compensation Range $18.27- $25.72" plus explanation. We'll include Pay. Schedule: we have schedule line and note about occasional weekend hours. We'll include Schedule. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, scam warning, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "About The Department" maybe not needed as a heading? Could be considered About the role? But we already have About the role from Position Summary. The "About The Department" is extra info about department; could be considered part of About the role? Might be okay to include as part of About the role paragraph. But we should not create extra headings unless needed. We could incorporate that prose into About the role. We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting, except boilerplate. Let's extract substantive content.

We need to strip boilerplate: EEO, accommodation request, scam warning, etc. Also remove "About The Department" maybe not boilerplate but could be considered part of About the role? It's substantive about department. We could include it in About the role paragraph. We also need to remove duplicated lines: there may be duplicates like "Competitive pay" appears in Benefits and also in Compensation Range explanation? Actually Benefits list includes "Competitive pay". We'll keep that as part of Benefits. We need to preserve all substantive info: Position Summary, Job Responsibilities (list), Education, Experience, Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities, Job Benefits, Compensation Range, Schedule line, note about occasional weekend hours, grant funding note maybe? "This position is funded by a 5 year grant. There may be opportunity beyond this grant funding for position integration into ongoing operations." That's substantive; we could include maybe under About the role or a separate section? There's no heading for grant info; we could incorporate into About the role paragraph. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state them. We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
