Research Operations Coordinator

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have sections: About The Department (maybe "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections are present. We have: - Posting Details: includes Posting Number, Working Title, Anticipated Hiring Range, Work Schedule, Job Location, Department. - About The Department: description. - Wolfpack Perks And Benefits: list of benefits. - Essential Job Duties: description. - Key Responsibilities: bullet list (actually paragraphs with colon headings). We need to treat as list of duties. - Other Responsibilities: short paragraph. - Qualifications: Minimum Education and Experience, Other Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Required License(s) Or Certification(s). We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have sections: About the Department (maybe "About the role"? but we have About The Department; we could use "About the role" heading? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests we can use those headings if appropriate. We have department description; maybe "About the role" could cover the role description (Essential Job Duties). But we also have "About The Department". Could make a section "About the Department". However the examples list didn't include that but we can still use

for any section heading; they gave examples but not exclusive. Probably okay to use "About the Department". But to be safe, we could use "About the role" for the Essential Job Duties description, and maybe a separate "Department Overview" not required. However we need to preserve all substantive information; we can include department description under a heading like "About the Department". The instruction didn't forbid other headings; just gave examples. So we can use

for any section heading. We must not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. We have Anticipated Hiring Range $70,000 - $74,000 (Pay). Work Schedule Monday - Friday, 8am-5pm (Opportunities for hybrid work schedule) (Schedule). Benefits: Wolfpack Perks And Benefits list. So we should include Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, disclaimer, application instructions, etc. Also remove "Posting Details Posting Information Posting Number PG194868EP Internal Recruitment No Working Title Research Operations Coordinator Anticipated Hiring Range $70,000 - $74,000 Work Schedule Monday - Friday, 8am-5pm (Opportunities for hybrid work schedule) Job Location Raleigh, NC Department Department of Materials Science and Engineering". We need to keep substantive info: maybe we can put that metadata in a short

at top? The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with posting number, working title, location, department, pay, schedule? But we also have separate Pay, Schedule sections. Might be redundant. Better to keep Pay and Schedule sections separate, and maybe include location and department in a short paragraph. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the department description, benefits list, essential job duties, key responsibilities, other responsibilities, qualifications (minimum education/experience, other required, preferred, license). Also we need to keep the "Wolfpack Perks And Benefits" list. We need to remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Thus final HTML will have maybe:

Posting Number: PG194868EP; Working Title: Research Operations Coordinator; Job Location: Raleigh, NC; Department: Department of Materials Science and Engineering.

Then sections:

About the Department

... (the department description)

Responsibilities

Maybe combine Essential Job Duties and Key Responsibilities and Other Responsibilities? But we have separate sections: Essential Job Duties (a paragraph describing role), Key Responsibilities (multiple bullet-like items), Other Responsibilities (short). Could make a single Responsibilities section with

• for each duty. However we must preserve all detail; we can break into subheadings? Not required. Could keep as

  for the Essential Job Duties paragraph, then

  • for each key responsibility, then

    for Other Responsibilities. But the instruction: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

      for prose. So we need to turn lists into

      • . The Key Responsibilities currently are paragraphs with headings like "Embedded Research Administration & Financial Operations", "Laboratory Procurement, Facilities & Building Operations", etc. Each of those is a heading followed by prose. We could treat each as a list item with the heading as part of the li content. Or we could keep headings inside li. Probably acceptable:
      • Embedded Research Administration & Financial Operations: ...
      . That preserves detail. Similarly for Other Responsibilities: short paragraph. For Requirements/Qualifications: we have Minimum Education and Experience (prose), Other Required Qualifications (list), Preferred Qualifications (list), Required License(s) Or Certification(s) (NA). We need to include Qualifications section. Use
      • for lists. We also need Benefits section: list of benefits from Wolfpack Perks And Benefits. Pay section: include the Anticipated Hiring Range. Schedule section: include Work Schedule. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include application instructions. Now craft HTML. Let's extract the department description: "About The Department The Department of Materials Science and Engineering ( MSE ) at NC State University is a nationally recognized leader in materials discovery, design and deployment. Our faculty, students and staff work at the forefront of innovation: advancing materials that enable breakthroughs in energy, electronics, health, manufacturing and sustainability. Research in MSE spans theory, computation, synthesis, characterization and scale-up, supported by a collaborative culture and state-of-the-art facilities on NC State’s Centennial Campus. Faculty lead internationally visible efforts in areas such as artificial intelligence-driven materials design, wide bandgap semiconductors, energy storage, nanomaterials, soft and biomaterials and structural materials under extreme environments. Representative labs include: Atomic-Scale Materials Lab Wide Bandgap Semiconductor Lab AIMS Lab Corrosion and Advanced Materials Lab Augustyn Research Lab Learn how NC State MSE is leading the way to discover, create and enhance the world around us." We need to keep that as prose. Benefits list: "Medical , Dental , and Vision Flexible Spending Account Retirement Programs Disability Plans Life Insurance Accident Plan Paid Time Off and Other Leave Programs 12 Holidays Each Year Tuition and Academic Assistance And so much more! Attain Work-life balance with our Childcare benefits, Wellness & Recreation Membership , and Wellness Programs that aim to build a thriving wolfpack community." We need to turn into list items. Could split by commas? Better to keep as list of bullet points each benefit. But the text is a run-on sentence. We could split at commas and "and". However we must preserve all substantive information; we can keep as a single

        but instruction says use

        • for any list of benefits. So we need to make a list. We'll interpret each benefit as separate item: Medical, Dental, and Vision; Flexible Spending Account; Retirement Programs; Disability Plans; Life Insurance; Accident Plan; Paid Time Off and Other Leave Programs; 12 Holidays Each Year; Tuition and Academic Assistance; Childcare benefits; Wellness & Recreation Membership; Wellness Programs. Also "And so much more!" maybe discard as filler? It's vague; maybe we can keep as a list item "And so much more!" but that's vague. Might be considered filler; but it's part of the posting. I'd include it as a list item. We'll produce
          • Medical, Dental, and Vision
          etc. Pay: Anticipated Hiring Range $70,000 - $74,000. Schedule: Monday - Friday, 8am-5pm (Opportunities for hybrid work schedule). Now Essential Job Duties paragraph: "The Research Operations Coordinator serves as the central administrative, financial, and operational authority for a major research group, center, or specialized facility, supporting faculty, postdoctoral researchers, graduate researchers, and visiting scholars.

          . Key Responsibilities: we have four sections: 1. Embedded Research Administration & Financial Operations: paragraph. 2. Laboratory Procurement, Facilities & Building Operations: paragraph. 3. Program Management, Outreach & External Relations: paragraph. 4. Travel Logistics & Administrative Coordination: paragraph. We'll make each a

          • with the heading bolded. Other Responsibilities: "In addition to the core responsibilities of this role, there may be occasional opportunities to take on additional duties. This offers an opportunity to build on your skills, explore new areas, and gain a deeper understanding of the department’s operations." We'll put in

            .
