We need to output only HTML fragment, using for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive information, no summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, EEO, etc.
We need to extract content: About URI (maybe "About the role"? Actually "About URI" is about the university, not role. But we have "About the role" heading: we can put "About the role" and include the Position Summary? The posting includes "Position Summary" and "About URI". The instruction: use

We need to extract content: About URI (maybe "About the role"? Actually "About URI" is about the university, not role. But we have "About the role" heading: we can put "About the role" and include the Position Summary? The posting includes "Position Summary" and "About URI". The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content accordingly.
We have:
- About URI: description of university. Could go under "About the role"? Might be better as "About the role" includes position summary and maybe about URI. But we need to preserve all substantive info. We'll include About URI under "About the role" maybe.
- Position Summary: coordinate post-award administration... We'll include under "About the role" or maybe separate "Responsibilities"? Actually responsibilities are listed later under Duties and Responsibilities. So "About the role" could contain Position Summary and About URI.
- Responsibilities: Duties and Responsibilities (Key Duties And Responsibilities, Other Duties And Responsibilities). We'll list as - .
- Requirements: maybe "Required Qualifications". That's qualifications. Could be under "Qualifications". The instruction includes Qualifications as a heading separate from Requirements? They listed both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We need to decide: Use Requirements for required qualifications? Or separate? The instruction says use those headings as examples; we can include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have both Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications, plus Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. Could map:
- Requirements: Required Qualifications (maybe also include required experience etc.)
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications? Or maybe combine? But they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Required and Preferred under Qualifications? But they have separate headings for Requirements and Qualifications. Might be better to have:
- Requirements: Required Qualifications (list)
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (list)
- Skills: Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (list)
But we also have Licenses, Tools, And Equipment (maybe under Skills? Could be part of Skills). However we need to avoid filler sections. We'll include Skills for Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities plus Licenses, Tools, And Equipment.
Pay: we have Pay Grade Level Grade Level: 9 Pay Grade Range Salary Hiring Range: $60,000 - $70,000. That's specific pay range. So we should include a Pay section with that info.
Schedule: we have FTE 1.00, Calendar Year, Full-time, Permanent. Also Position Type Professional Staff. So schedule info: Full-time, Permanent, Calendar Year. We'll include Schedule section.
Benefits: not mentioned explicitly. No benefits details. So we should not include Benefits section.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay range.
We must not include duplicated lines. Remove boilerplate like EEO, Environmental Conditions, Posting Date, Closing Date, Special Instructions to Applicants, etc. Also remove contact info? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Contact info maybe considered application instructions? It says Contact(s) Please note: Job applications must be submitted directly online only at: (https://jobs.uri.edu) Contact Phone/Extension Contact Email Physical Demands Campus Location Kingston Grant Funded No Extension Contingency Notes. That's likely contact info and application instructions; we should drop it.
Also remove "Posting Number SF02216 Job Title Research Coordinator Position Number 106160 FTE 1.00 FLSA Exempt Position Type Professional Staff Union PSA/NEA - Professional Staff Assoc Pay Grade Level Grade Level: 9 Pay Grade Range Salary Hiring Range: $60,000 - $70,000 Status Calendar Year, Full-time, Permanent Department Information Department Dean Pharmacy Contact(s) ..." We'll drop metadata except we need to keep pay range and schedule info. So we will extract pay range and schedule from that line but not include the metadata headings.
