for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate etc. Include sections only when posting has real specific content. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Title: Research Engineering/Scientist Associate III (but we don't repeat as heading)
- Hiring Department: Department of Psychology
- Position Open To: All Applicants
- Weekly Scheduled Hours: 40
- FLSA Status: Exempt from FLSA
- Earliest Start Date: Immediately
- Position Duration: Expected to Continue Until Aug 31, 2027 (but earlier says one-year fixed-term? Actually says "This is a one-year fixed-term position." Then later "Expected to Continue Until Aug 31, 2027". Might be contradictory but we preserve both. Probably duration info is substantive.
- Location: UT MAIN CAMPUS
- Job Details: General Notes (description)
- Purpose
- Responsibilities (list)
- Required Qualifications
- Preferred Qualifications
- Salary Range $50,000 - $65,000, depending on qualifications
- Required Materials (Resume/CV, 3 work references, Letter of interest) plus instructions (but we should remove application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should not include the "Required Materials" instructions about uploading etc. But we need to preserve substantive info: the required materials list (Resume/CV, references, letter of interest). The instructions about how to upload are application instructions, so drop them. Also drop EEO, legal, etc.
- Also there is "Important for applicants who are NOT current university employees..." etc. That's application instructions, drop.
- Also "Important for Current university employees..." drop.
- Also "Employment Eligibility: ..." etc drop.
- Retirement Plan Eligibility: mention TRS etc. Might be considered benefits? Could be considered a benefit. But it's somewhat boilerplate but still substantive. However we should only include Benefits section if posting actually states them. It does mention retirement plan eligibility. Could include under Benefits.
- Background Checks: mention criminal history background check required. That's maybe a requirement? Could be under Requirements? Might be considered a condition. Could be included under Requirements or maybe a separate section? The instruction says we can have sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Background check could be under Requirements (maybe as a requirement). But we can also include under Requirements as a bullet.
- Pay Transparency etc drop.
- Employment Eligibility Verification etc drop.
- E-Verify etc drop.
- Compliance etc drop.
Thus we need to decide sections:
- About the role: could combine General Notes and Purpose. Could be a prose section.
- Responsibilities: list.
- Requirements: could include Required Qualifications plus maybe background check.
- Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; we could omit.
- Benefits: maybe retirement plan eligibility.
- Pay: Salary Range.
- Schedule: Weekly Scheduled Hours: 40 (maybe also FLSA status). Could include schedule.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual data.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive info.
Let's extract substantive info:

Now we need to format.
We should not include application instructions, EEO, etc.
We need to decide headings.
Possible sections:
- About the role (combining General Notes and Purpose)
- Responsibilities
- Required Qualifications
- Preferred Qualifications
- Benefits (maybe retirement plan eligibility)

Duration: Position Duration: Expected to Continue Until Aug 31, 2027 (and note one-year fixed-term). Could be under Schedule or About the role.
We need to avoid filler. We'll include sections only if we have content.
Let's craft:
