Research Assistant (KSAS-Physics & Astronomy)
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Include only sections with real specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay: they gave Starting Salary Range: $17.65 - $31.05 HRLY (Commensurate w/exp.) That's pay info, but includes "Comm w/exp." which is filler? It says "Commensurate w/exp." That's placeholder. Should we include Pay section? The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting states Starting Salary Range: $17.65 - $31.05 HRLY (Comm w/exp.). That's a range, but includes "Comm w/exp." which is filler. However the range is specific. The phrase "Comm w/exp." is filler but the range is still there. Should we include Pay section with the range? Probably yes, but we need to avoid filler text. Could we just include the range without the parenthetical? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the exact text? Might need to keep the phrase but it's filler. However they said never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. If we include Pay heading and then the sentence includes filler, that violates. Could we omit Pay section entirely? But then we lose substantive info (the salary range). The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state them, albeit with filler. But we could still include Pay section and include the range, maybe we can rephrase to avoid filler? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot invent or summarize away detail. Summarizing away the "Comm w/exp." might be considered summarizing away detail? It's filler, but maybe we can drop it as it's not substantive. The phrase "Comm w/exp." is not substantive; it's just indicating commensurate with experience. Could be considered filler. The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", ...). So if we include Pay heading and then the text includes that phrase, it's violating. So we should not include Pay section. Similarly Schedule: they gave "Monday-Friday, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm". That's specific, not filler. So Schedule section is okay. Benefits: not mentioned. So we omit Benefits.
Now we need sections: About the role (maybe a brief summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The posting includes Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Technical Skills & Expected Level Of Proficiency. Also "Specific Duties & Responsibilities". Also initial paragraph describing role.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So no heading for "Research Assistant". Use for sections.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all duties, responsibilities, qualifications, etc.
We need to remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content.
First paragraph: "The William H. Miller III Department of Physics and Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University, in collaboration with the Post-Starburst Galaxy Group of the Space Telescope Research Institute, seeks a Research Assistant. The Research Assistant will support research that looks for evidence of active supermassive black holes in recently quenched galaxies at cosmic noon. Specifically, they will positionally match galaxy catalogs to archival multiwavelength data (e.g. mid-infrared, X-ray and radio data) in 5 extragalactic deep fields. They will then calculate quantities such as the detection fraction and black hole luminosities and compare to star-forming galaxies as a control sample. Other galaxy properties such as ages, morphologies and gas properties may be explored. The Research Assistant oversees data collection, data organization, and/or data management or similar functions/tasks for research study(ies) in support of a PI or a research team. This is a grant-funded position; continued employment is contingent upon the availability of grant funding. This position will end on September 30, 2027."
That's About the role.
Then "Specific Duties & Responsibilities" list:
- Run routine and ad hoc reports.
- Use standard tools and computer programs to review data.
- Assist with data cleaning measures to ensure accuracy of data and preparation of tables.
- Lead basic activities such as data collection and data entry.
- May lead specific tasks and develop processes to ensure study activities occur effectively and efficiently.
- May conduct literature searches to support faculty in research efforts.
- May design and format papers/publications.
- May assist PIs in writing summaries of papers for release as policy briefs or other channels.
- Other duties as assigned.
- In addition to the duties described above Write custom Python code to analyze astronomical data.
Note: The last bullet seems merged: "In addition to the duties described above Write custom Python code to analyze astronomical data." Probably separate bullet: Write custom Python code to analyze astronomical data.
We'll list each as
- .
Then "Minimum Qualifications": Bachelor's Degree in a related field. Additional education may substitute for required experience, and additional related experience may substitute for required education beyond a high school diploma/graduation equivalent, to the extent permitted by the JHU equivalency formula.
That's prose.
"Preferred Qualifications": Prior experience with multiwavelength studies of galaxy evolution and active galactic nuclei. Prior experience writing Python code.
"Technical Skills & Expected Level Of Proficiency": list of skills each with "Awareness": Analytical Skills - Awareness, Attention to Detail - Awareness, Data Management and Analysis - Awareness, Formatting and Layout Proficiency - Awareness, Information Gathering - Awareness, Oral and Written Communications - Awareness, Organizational Skills - Awareness. Then note: "The core technical skills listed are most essential; additional technical skills may be required based on specific division or department need"
We need to output as list? It's a list of skills. Use
- for each.
Now sections: About the role (prose), Responsibilities (list), Requirements? Could combine Minimum Qualifications as Requirements. Qualifications could be Preferred Qualifications? But we have both Minimum and Preferred. Could make Requirements = Minimum Qualifications, Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications. Or we could have Requirements (Minimum) and Qualifications (Preferred). Skills = Technical Skills.
We must not create sections with filler. All have content.
Schedule: we have schedule info: Monday-Friday, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm. Also maybe mention Hybrid/Homewood Campus location? That's not schedule. But schedule section is allowed.
Pay: we decided to omit due to filler.
Benefits: none.
Now produce HTML.

Monday-Friday, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm
We might also include location? Not a section.
Check for any other substantive info: "Classified Title: Research Assistant Job Posting Title (Working Title): Research Assistant (KSAS-Physics & Astronomy) Role/Level/Range: ACRO40/E/03/CD Starting Salary Range: $17.65 - $31.05 HRLY (Comm w/exp.) Employee group: Full Time Schedule: Monday-Friday, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm FLSA Status: Non-Exempt Location: Hybrid/Homewood Campus Department name: Physics and Astronomy Personnel area: School of Arts & Sciences"
We have schedule already. Could include Employee group (Full Time) maybe as part of About role? Could add to About role paragraph? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information. So we should include Full Time, Hybrid/Homewood Campus, Department name, Personnel area, FLSA Status, Role/Level/Range, Classified Title maybe. But those are metadata; we could incorporate into About role paragraph or maybe a separate section like "Position Details". However we only allowed headings from list; we could add a section like "Details" but not in allowed list. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use for section headings (e.g. those). Likely we should stick to those headings only. However we need to preserve all substantive info; we can embed metadata into About the role paragraph or maybe a separate
after About role before Responsibilities. That would preserve info without extra heading.
Thus we can add a paragraph after About role that includes: "Classified Title: Research Assistant; Job Posting Title (Working Title): Research Assistant (KSAS-Physics & Astronomy); Role/Level/Range: ACRO40/E/03/CD; Employee group: Full Time; FLSA Status: Non-Exempt; Location: Hybrid/Homewood Campus; Department: Physics and Astronomy; Personnel area: School of Arts & Sciences; Position end date: September 30, 2027; Grant-funded, contingent on funding."
We must keep the info about grant-funded and end date already in About role; we can incorporate.
Let's craft About role paragraph to include all that.
