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. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the posting. Key info: - Based in Australia (maybe location) - Opportunity: Research Associate to investigate mineral demand implications of scaling AI hardware. Through scenario development, examine mineral requirements of AI technologies and geological constraints affecting mineral supply, while considering opportunities for resource efficiency and circular economy. Apply research methods such as material flow analysis and industrial ecology to contribute to better understanding of environmental and resource implications of continued expansion of AI. Position provides opportunity to further develop research expertise while contributing to high-quality research outcomes. Work independently and collaboratively, contribute to scholarly publications and research activities, engage with relevant stakeholders and research partners, participate in conferences and workshops, and assist with supervision of research students where required. Reports to Professor Saleem Ali, no direct reports. - Salary: Level A: AUD $118,467 to $126,711 per annum + 17% superannuation - Employment type: Full time - Appointment type: Fixed-term contract – 6 months - Location: Kensington – Sydney, Australia - About UNSW: description of university. - School of Minerals and Energy Resources Engineering description. - Skills & Experience: list bullet points. - Additional details about specific responsibilities can be found in position description (link). We should not include that as content? It's a reference; we can maybe ignore. - Application instructions etc to be removed. - Contact info etc to be removed. - EEO etc to be removed. We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what content goes where. About the role: likely the introductory paragraph describing the opportunity. Responsibilities: tasks like scenario development, examine mineral requirements, apply methods, contribute to understanding, work independently/collaboratively, contribute to publications, engage stakeholders, participate in conferences, assist supervision. Requirements: maybe the eligibility: PhD in related discipline and/or relevant work experience. Qualifications: maybe similar to requirements? Could combine? But we need separate sections only if content exists. Could treat Requirements as "PhD in a related discipline, and/or relevant work experience." Qualifications maybe "Proven commitment to keeping up to date..." etc. But those are more like skills/experience. Skills: list of skills/experience. Benefits: maybe superannuation? Actually benefits could be the 17% superannuation, plus maybe UNSW benefits like world-class facilities, collaborative networks, culture of innovation. But those are more about UNSW. The posting includes "About UNSW" describing benefits. Could treat that as Benefits section. Pay: salary range. Schedule: maybe full-time, fixed-term 6 months. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So only include if we have real content. Let's extract. About the role: The opportunity paragraph: "The School of Minerals and Energy Resources Engineering has an opportunity for a Research Associate to investigate the mineral demand implications of scaling artificial intelligence hardware. Through scenario development, you will examine the mineral requirements of AI technologies and the geological constraints affecting mineral supply, while considering opportunities for resource efficiency and a circular economy. You will apply research methods such as material flow analysis and industrial ecology to contribute to a better understanding of the environmental and resource implications of the continued expansion of artificial intelligence. This position will provide you with the opportunity to further develop your research expertise while contributing to high-quality research outcomes." That seems good. Responsibilities: "You will work independently and collaboratively, contribute to scholarly publications and research activities, engage with relevant stakeholders and research partners, participate in conferences and workshops, and assist with the supervision of research students where required." Also maybe "Through scenario development, you will examine the mineral requirements..." but that is more about role. Could split. Requirements: "A PhD in a related discipline, and/or relevant work experience." Qualifications: maybe "Demonstrated ability to undertake high-quality academic research and conduct independent research with limited supervision. Demonstrated track record of publications and conference presentations relative to opportunity." Could be qualifications. Skills: list of skills: "Proven commitment to proactively keeping up to date with discipline knowledge and developments. Demonstrated ability to work in a team, collaborate across disciplines and build effective relationships. Evidence of highly developed interpersonal skills. Demonstrated ability to communicate and interact with a diverse range of stakeholders and students. An understanding of and commitment to UNSW’s aims, objectives and values in action, together with relevant policies and guidelines. Knowledge of health and safety responsibilities and commitment to attending relevant health and safety training." Benefits: Could include "UNSW is a world-leading institution recognised for its scale, prestige, and impact. With strong industry engagement and partnerships across sectors, UNSW provides a unique environment where research expertise translates into real-world outcomes. The University is home to cutting-edge research that drives innovation and addresses some of society’s most pressing challenges. For researchers, UNSW offers an outstanding platform to thrive — combining world-class facilities, collaborative networks, and a culture of innovation that supports research excellence, industry engagement, and meaningful societal impact." Also maybe "17% superannuation" is a benefit but could be in Pay. Pay: "Salary, Level A: AUD $118,467 to $126,711 per annum + 17% superannuation" Schedule: "Employment type: Full time. Appointment type: Fixed-term contract – 6-months." Also location maybe but location not schedule. We could also include location in About the role? But location is separate metadata; we could include in a short p maybe but not as heading. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we could include in a short p after About the role maybe. We must not repeat job title. Not include application instructions, contact, EEO, etc. Thus produce HTML:

We should ensure no extra sections like About UNSW duplicated; we used that as Benefits. Check for any boilerplate: we removed EEO, application instructions, contact, etc. Check for duplication: we didn't repeat the same content. Make sure we preserve all substantive info: Did we miss anything? The opportunity paragraph also includes "Through scenario development, you will examine the mineral requirements of AI technologies and the geological constraints affecting mineral supply, while considering opportunities for resource efficiency and a circular economy." That's in About the role; we included that. We also included "You will apply research methods such as material flow analysis and industrial ecology to contribute to a better understanding of the environmental and resource implications of the continued expansion of artificial intelligence." Good. We included responsibilities: independent/collaborative, contribute to publications, engage stakeholders, participate in conferences, assist supervision. We didn't include "assist with the supervision of research students where required" - we included that. We didn't include "reports to Professor Saleem Ali and has no direct reports." That's substantive; maybe we should include in About the role or Responsibilities. Could add a sentence: "This role reports to Professor Saleem Ali and has no direct reports." Let's add to About the role paragraph. Also we missed "This position will provide you with the opportunity to further develop your research expertise while contributing to high-quality research outcomes." Already in About the role. We missed "You will work independently and collaboratively, contribute to scholarly publications and research activities, engage with relevant stakeholders and research partners, participate in conferences and workshops, and assist with the supervision of research students where required." Already. We missed "The position description is available via JOBS@UNSW." That's minor metadata; we can drop. We missed "Additional details about the specific responsibilities for this position can be found in the position description." That's reference; drop. We missed "Skills & Experience" heading but we used content. We missed "Knowledge of health and safety responsibilities and commitment to attending relevant health and safety training." included. We missed "Evidence of highly developed interpersonal skills." included. We missed "Demonstrated ability to communicate and interact with a diverse range of stakeholders and students." included. We missed "An understanding of and commitment to UNSW’s aims, objectives and values in action, together with relevant policies and guidelines." included. We missed "Proven commitment to proactively keeping up to date with discipline knowledge and developments." included. We missed "Demonstrated ability to work in a team, collaborate across disciplines and build effective relationships." included. We missed "Demonstrated ability to undertake high-quality academic research and conduct independent research with limited supervision." included in Qualifications. We missed "Demonstrated track record of publications and conference presentations relative to opportunity." included. We missed "A PhD in a related discipline, and/or relevant work experience." included. We missed "The School of Minerals and Energy Resources Engineering is a global leader..." That's part of About UNSW? Actually it's after About UNSW. Could include in Benefits or About the role? It's about the school. Could add to Benefits or a separate section? But we only have Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Could add to Benefits as extra detail about school. However the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could incorporate school description into Benefits or About the role. Since Benefits already about UNSW, we could extend Benefits to include school description. Let's add a sentence: "The School of Minerals and Energy Resources Engineering is a global leader in mining, petroleum and sustainable energy resources engineering. Our multidisciplinary academics deliver internationally recognised research and work closely with industry to develop innovative solutions for the minerals, energy and low-carbon sectors. The School is ranked second in the world and first in Australia for Mineral & Mining Engineering,
