Key info:
- Job Summary: description about role, leadership, oversight, etc. Could be "About the role" or "Job Summary". Use About the role
with paragraph(s).
- Responsibilities: list of specific responsibilities (bulleted). The posting includes "Specific responsibilities include, but are not limited to:" then a long list separated by semicolons. Also "Key Job Responsibilities:" then bullet list. We need to combine? Probably we should produce a - list of duties/responsibilities.

- . The list includes many items separated by semicolons; also after "Key Job Responsibilities:" there is another list. We need to include both? Might duplicate. Better to combine unique items. But we must preserve all substantive info; we can include both lists as separate
maybe. However we should avoid duplication? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplication is okay if it's in original; but we should not invent. It might be okay to keep both as they appear. However they may be overlapping; but it's still substantive info. We'll include both.
We need to extract each responsibility item.
From "Specific responsibilities include, but are not limited to:" then list:

- Develop/lead research administration education and training opportunities for faculty, staff, and trainees; and
- Lead research-related faculty onboarding efforts, including start-up funding requests, new faculty orientations, and regular faculty check-ins within the first 18 months of employment.
Then after that paragraph: "This position may require some work to be performed in-person, onsite, at a designated campus work location. Some work may be performed remotely, at an offsite, non-campus work location." That's about schedule/location; maybe schedule section.
Then "Key Job Responsibilities:" then list:
- Manages large research projects for a center or program
- Exercises supervisory authority, including hiring, transferring, suspending, promoting, managing conduct and performance, discharging, assigning, rewarding, disciplining, and/or approving hours worked of at least 2.0 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees

- Serves as a unit liaison to internal stakeholder groups to foster cross-unit partnership efforts regarding research programs and activities
- Serves as a consultant to project directors and provides technical expertise to research and operational personnel
- Collaborates with project directors and the full range of clients whose knowledge and expertise varies
We need to include these as - .
Now Requirements/Qualifications: There's "Required Qualifications:" list bullet? Actually it's sentences separated by line breaks? It lists:
- At least five years of progressive responsibility in managing complex, multi-disciplinary research portfolios in an academic and/or health care setting
- Experience with pre- and post-award research administration oversight, proposal development, budget planning and preparation, and automated financial systems
- Direct, hand-on post-award financial management experience with principal investigators (PIs), demonstrating a strong understanding of and experience managing the research portfolio of a complex research enterprise

Requirements
, Preferred Qualifications to Qualifications
(or maybe Skills). Education could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. We'll include Education under Requirements or Qualifications? Probably under Requirements as it's a qualification. But we have both Required and Preferred; we could put Required under Requirements, Preferred under Qualifications. Education could be under Requirements as well (since it's preferred but still a qualification). We'll decide: Requirements: list required qualifications + education. Qualifications: list preferred qualifications.
Now Benefits and Pay: There's Compensation section: "Compensation: The starting salary for the position is $120,000 annually; but is negotiable based on experience and qualifications. Employees in this position can expect to receive benefits such as generous vacation, holidays, and sick leave; competitive insurances and savings accounts; retirement benefits.
