Research Scientist OPS

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real content. From job description: There's a description paragraph at start: "This is an hourly position that will assist with gathering, analyzing, and interpreting a wide variety of data related to clinical research, clinical quality improvement, and programmatic effectiveness. Applies statistical knowledge and methods to improve data collection plan and to create insight." That's about the role. Then there is a paragraph about USF background. That could be "About the role" or maybe "About USF". But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Responsibilities section present. Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (that's Skills). Qualifications section present. Working Conditions maybe not a heading we have; we could include under Requirements? Not needed. Benefits: there is mention of benefits in "About USF" paragraph: "Our first-class benefits package includes medical, dental and life insurance plans, retirement plan options, employee and dependent tuition programs, generous leave, and hundreds of employee perks and discounts." Also earlier: "Our first-class benefits package includes ..." So we have benefits content. Pay: Not mentioned explicitly; it's hourly position but no pay rate. So we should NOT create Pay section because no specific pay. Schedule: Not mentioned. So omit. We also have "About Us" and "About USF" duplicates; we could combine into About the role? Actually About the role heading should contain description of role and maybe university overview. The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role containing the initial description and maybe university info. But we also have separate "About Us" and "About USF" paragraphs that talk about university. Could include them under About the role as well. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: compliance, EEO, etc. Remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include: - About the role: description of position, hourly, assisting with data gathering etc., plus university overview (maybe combine both About Us and About USF paragraphs). Ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Learn more at www.usf.edu" maybe that's okay but it's not boilerplate? It's a link; could keep but it's not essential. Might keep as part of description. - Responsibilities: list of duties. The responsibilities paragraph includes multiple sentences; we can turn into

• items. Need to extract each duty. Let's parse responsibilities: "Reports to the Assistant Dean Clinical Affairs to assist with: Aggregating and analyzing clinical data/quality reports to support contract execution and justification. Aggregating and analyzing partnership and programmatic data/quality reports to support institutional effectiveness and accreditation. Designing study protocols, completing power analyses, preparing grants, performing literature reviews, developing data extraction forms, extracting data, managing data, and analyzing data. Conducting statistical analyses using appropriate statistical software (such as STATA, SAS, R, and SPSS), including descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, survival analysis, and various multivariable modeling. Provides insight regarding biostatistics and research methodologies and proposes statistical approaches to improve research and quality improvement efforts. Scholarly, research, and clinical results dissemination and presentation. Performs other duties as assigned." We can make each line a
• . - Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: list items. Knowledge of statistical concepts, methods, and techniques used in clinical research studies. Proficiency in statistical software packages such as STATA, SAS, R, or SPSS. Solid understanding of experimental design, sample size calculations, and randomization methodologies. Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail. Effective communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to convey complex statistical concepts to non-statisticians. Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in a team environment. We'll put under

  Skills

  maybe? The heading list includes Skills. So we use

  Skills

  . - Qualifications: list. "This position requires a bachelor's degree in Biostatistics, Statistics, Epidemiology, or a related field and a minimum of two years of professional experience; or a master's degree in one of the same fields. Degree Equivalency Clause: Four years of direct experience for a bachelor’s degree. Senate Bill 1310- The Florida Senate (https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2023/1310) is conditional upon meeting all employment eligibility requirements in the U.S. SB 1310: Substitution of Work Experience for Postsecondary Education Requirements A public employer may include a postsecondary degree as a baseline requirement only as an alternative to the number of years of direct experience required, not to exceed: (a) Two years of direct experience for an associate degree; (b) Four years of direct experience for a bachelor’s degree; (c) Six years of direct experience for a master’s degree; (d) Seven years of direct experience for a professional degree; or (e) Nine years of direct experience for a doctoral degree Related work experience may not substitute for any required licensure, certification, or registration required for the position of employment as established by the public employer and indicated in the advertised description of the position of employment. Minimum Qualifications that require a high school diploma are exempt from SB 1310." We need to preserve all substantive info. This is quite detailed. We'll put as
  • items maybe each sentence. But we should avoid overly long paragraphs; still okay. - Benefits: we have benefits description. "Our first-class benefits package includes medical, dental and life insurance plans, retirement plan options, employee and dependent tuition programs, generous leave, and hundreds of employee perks and discounts." Also earlier: "Our first-class benefits package includes medical, dental and life insurance plans, retirement plan options, employee and dependent tuition programs, generous leave, and hundreds of employee perks and discounts." That's same. We'll put under

    Benefits

    as
    • maybe each item. - About the role: we need to include description of role and university overview. Let's craft About the role paragraph: combine the initial description and the university overview paragraphs (both About Us and About USF). Ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Learn more at www.usf.edu" maybe we can keep but it's not essential; but it's not boilerplate; it's a link. Could keep. We need to avoid duplication: there are two similar paragraphs about USF; we can merge but keep key facts: serving approx 50k students, campuses Tampa, St. Petersburg, USF Health, Sarasota-Manatee (mentioned later), rankings, AAU membership, research funding, patents, economic impact, athletics, Forbes recognition, etc. We'll write a concise paragraph preserving all specifics. Now produce HTML fragment:

      About the role

      This is an hourly position that will assist with gathering, analyzing, and interpreting a wide variety of data related to clinical research, clinical quality improvement, and programmatic effectiveness. Applies statistical knowledge and methods to improve data collection plan and to create insight. The University of South Florida is a top-ranked research university serving approximately 50,000 students from across the globe at campuses in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota-Manatee and USF Health. In 2025, U.S. News & World Report recognized USF with its highest overall ranking in university history, as a top 50 public university for the seventh consecutive year and as one of the top 15 best values among all public universities in the nation. U.S. News also ranks the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine in the highest tier, placing it as one of the top 16 medical schools in the nation and inside the top 10 among public universities. USF is a member of the Association of American Universities (AAU), a group that includes only the top 3% of universities in the U.S. With an all-time high of $750 million in research funding in 2025 and as a top 20 public university for producing U.S. patents, USF uses innovation to transform lives and shape a better future. The university generates an annual economic impact of nearly $10 billion for the state of Florida. USF’s Division I athletics teams compete in the American Conference. In 2025, Forbes recognized USF as one of Florida’s best large employers, ranked No. 1 among the state’s 12 public universities. Learn more at www.usf.edu.

      But note we have some conflicting numbers: research funding $750 million in 2025 vs later $738 million in 2024. Both appear; we should keep both as they are substantive. Might cause duplication but okay. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Learn more at www.usf.edu" maybe it's okay. Now Responsibilities:

      Responsibilities

      • Reports to the Assistant Dean Clinical Affairs to assist with:
      ... Actually the first line includes "Reports to the Assistant Dean Clinical Affairs to assist with:" then subsequent lines are sub-items. Could treat as a parent item with sub-items? Simpler: make each bullet as separate line. We'll produce:
      • Reports to the Assistant Dean Clinical Affairs to assist with:
      • Aggregating and analyzing clinical data/quality reports to support contract execution and justification.
      • Aggregating and analyzing partnership and programmatic data/quality reports to support institutional effectiveness and accreditation.
      • Designing study protocols, completing power analyses, preparing grants, performing literature reviews, developing data extraction forms, extracting data, managing data, and analyzing data.
      • Conducting statistical analyses using appropriate statistical software (such as STATA, SAS, R, and SPSS), including descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, survival analysis, and various multivariable modeling.
      • Provides insight regarding biostatistics and research methodologies and proposes statistical approaches to improve research and quality improvement efforts.
      • Scholarly, research, and clinical results dissemination and presentation.
      • Performs other duties as assigned.
      But the first bullet "Reports to the Assistant Dean Clinical Affairs to assist with:" is incomplete; maybe better to incorporate as a bullet: "Reports to the Assistant Dean Clinical Affairs to assist with aggregating and analyzing clinical data/quality reports to support contract execution and justification; aggregating and analyzing partnership and programmatic data/quality reports to support institutional effectiveness and accreditation; designing study protocols, completing power analyses, preparing grants, performing literature reviews, developing data extraction forms, extracting data, managing data, and analyzing data; conducting statistical analyses using appropriate statistical software (such as STATA, SAS, R, and SPSS), including descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, survival analysis, and various multivariable modeling; providing insight regarding biostatistics and research methodologies and proposing statistical approaches to improve research and quality improvement efforts; scholarly, research, and clinical results dissemination and presentation." But that loses detail. However we can keep as separate bullet with colon and then sub-bullets? Not allowed nested ul? Could but maybe okay. Simpler: keep as separate bullet but it's okay.
