Research Programmer III- Machine Learning & Computational Neuroscience, Kennedy Lab
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip EEO statement, the statements about at-will, etc. Also remove "The above statements describe the level of work performed..." etc. Also remove "LOCATION: La Jolla, California." maybe keep as part of About the role? It's substantive but not under a heading; we could include as a paragraph within About the role. Similarly "PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS: ..." maybe not needed as it's not a heading; but it's substantive. Could include as a paragraph under About the role or separate? Since no heading for Physical Requirements, we could include as a paragraph. But we need to preserve all substantive info. So we should include location and physical requirements somewhere.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none).
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Pay is stated, Benefits stated, Schedule not stated, so omit Schedule.
We must not emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". For Pay we have actual range $75,000 to $100,000 per year, commensurate with experience. The phrase "commensurate with experience" is filler? It's part of the description but maybe considered placeholder? The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So we should avoid having a Pay section that only says that phrase. But we have actual range plus that phrase. It's okay to include the range and also mention commensurate with experience? Might be considered filler but it's attached to real info. Probably okay to include the full sentence.
We need to format Benefits as list.
Let's extract content:
Position Summary paragraph: "The Kennedy laboratory is involved in numerous projects to track, quantify, and forecast individual and group behavior and relate it to recorded neural activity. We develop new computational methods to understand how agents (animals, humans, virtual) gather information about their sensory environment, integrate this with internal motivational needs, and execute goal-directed actions in complex, naturalistic environments. We also develop machine learning and computer vision platforms for high-throughput animal phenotyping, with the goal of accelerating drug screening and repurposing efforts at Scripps. We seek motivated individuals interested in gaining hands-on experience in scientific research projects, with a goal of contributing to scientific papers and participating in an active lab environment. You will also have the opportunity to lead independent research projects on existing datasets from our collaborators (U Penn, UCLA, Harvard, U Utah, Northwestern, and others). This is an ideal position for applicants interested in building their scientific CV ahead of applying to graduate programs in Computational Neuroscience or Machine Learning, or those looking for a longer term position where they can contribute to original scientific research and model development."
Location: "LOCATION: La Jolla, California."
Physical Requirements: "PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS: This position works in an office environment, and it is expected that work will be primarily performed in-person."
Compensation: "Compenstaion The expected hiring range for this position is $75,000 to $100,000 per year, commensurate with experience." Note typo "Compenstaion". We'll keep as is but maybe correct? We should preserve exactly? Probably keep as is but could fix typo? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Fixing typo could be considered altering? Might be okay to correct obvious typo? Safer to keep as is? It's a typo but still substantive. I'd keep as "Compenstaion" but maybe better to correct to "Compensation"? The instruction says do not invent or summarize away detail; correcting a typo is not inventing, but could be considered altering. I'd keep original.
Benefits: "Comprehensive Benefits Include Employer Contributed Retirement Plan – Depending on eligibility, employees receive an employer contributed retirement plan (no employee contribution required) and the option to contribute to a 403(b) (which is similar to a 401(k) using your own pre or post-tax dollars)Full Suite of Health and Welfare plans including three medical plan options (including an HSA available option), dental, vision, life insurance, disability, EAP and moreAccess to Flexible Spending Accounts (Medical/Dependent Care)Competitive vacation and sick leave policiesFree, on-site parking"
We need to split into list items. The text runs together; we need to parse logically. Benefits list:
