We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job posting. First, there is introductory paragraph about Elanco, but that's not a section heading; we can include as

maybe under "About the role"? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can create sections with those headings if content exists. We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is "Research Scientist (R1 level) in the Vaccine Technical Development area". Not to be used as heading. We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions). Also remove duplicated lines (the EEO statement appears twice). Also remove "Other Information: Travel: Occasional travel (primarily within the U.S.)," maybe keep? It's substantive? It's travel info; could be part of "About the role" or maybe a separate section? Not listed as a standard heading; we could incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate "Travel" but not required headings. Since only allowed headings are those listed, we should incorporate travel info into About the role or maybe a paragraph. We need to include Benefits section if posting actually states them. It does: "Elanco Benefits and Perks: We offer a comprehensive benefits package focusing on financial, physical, and mental well-being while encouraging our employees to pursue our purpose! Some highlights include: Multiple relocation packagesTwo weeklong shutdowns (mid-summer and year-end) in the US (in addition to PTO)8-week parental leave9 Employee Resource GroupsAnnual bonus offeringFlexible work arrangementsUp to 6% 401K matching". So we need Benefits section with
  • for each benefit. Pay and Schedule: The posting does not mention pay or schedule specifics. So we should NOT include Pay or Schedule sections. Qualifications vs Requirements vs Skills: The posting has "Minimum Qualification (education, experience and/or training, required certifications):" and then list. Also "Additional Preferences:" which could be considered Skills or Requirements. We need to decide how to map. We have sections: About the role (intro description), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe minimum qualifications), Qualifications (maybe additional preferences?), Skills (maybe specific skills). But we need to avoid duplication and only include sections with real content. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But instruction says use those headings if content exists. We have content for Minimum Qualification and Additional Preferences. Could treat Minimum Qualification as "Requirements" and Additional Preferences as "Qualifications" or "Skills". Let's see typical job posting: Requirements often include education/experience; Qualifications may include preferred qualifications; Skills may include specific abilities. We'll allocate: - About the role: introductory paragraph about Elanco and role description (the first paragraph before "Job Description:" maybe). Also include travel info. - Responsibilities: list of responsibilities (the bullet-like sentences after "Primary Responsibilities:"). - Requirements: Minimum Qualification (education, experience, certifications, legal authorization, no sponsorship). - Qualifications: Additional Preferences (downstream processing, biohazardous organisms, animal health product experience, understanding regulations). - Skills: maybe we could list communication skills, mentoring, etc. But those are already in Minimum Qualification? Actually Minimum Qualification includes "Comprehensive verbal and written communication skills. Demonstrated ability to understand and influence key business drivers within the discipline. Proven track record of training and mentoring others. High ethical and quality standards." Those could be considered Skills. But we already used them in Requirements? Might be better to put those under Skills. However the instruction says we should not create thin sections; we prefer few substantive sections. Could combine Requirements and Skills into one "Requirements" section that includes both mandatory and preferred? But we need to follow headings if content exists. We could have: - About the role - Responsibilities - Requirements (includes Minimum Qualification and Additional Preferences) - Benefits But then we lose distinction. However the instruction says "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't require us to use all; we can choose which to include. It says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine into fewer sections. Thus we could have: - About the role (intro + travel) - Responsibilities (list) - Requirements (minimum qualifications + additional preferences + skills) - Benefits (list) That seems reasonable. We must not include Pay or Schedule. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat the EEO statement. We must preserve all substantive information: need to include all details from responsibilities, minimum qualifications, additional preferences, benefits, intro, travel. Let's extract. Intro paragraph before "Job Description:": "At Elanco (NYSE: ELAN) – it all starts with animals! As a global leader in animal health, we are dedicated to innovation and delivering products and services to prevent and treat disease in farm animals and pets. At Elanco, we are driven by our vision of Food and Companionship Enriching Life and our purpose – all to Go Beyond for Animals, Customers, Society and Our People.

Here, you’ll be part of a company that values and champions new ways of thinking, work with dynamic individuals, and acquire new skills and experiences that will propel your career to new heights.

Then "Job Description: The Research Scientist (R1 level) in the Vaccine Technical Development area plays a crucial role in leading and advancing R&D projects efficiently and effectively with a specialized focus on innovative fermentation and bioreactor technologies. This position leverages extensive scientific expertise to ensure projects progress on schedule and within budget.

This role operates within the Process Development (PD) functional group and operates cross functionally within Elanco network. Leads multiple large-scale projects, educating self and others, while driving innovative improvements in technical methodologies." That's part of About the role maybe. Then "Primary Responsibilities:" followed by many sentences (some duplicated). We need to extract unique responsibilities. Let's list them: - Drive timely progress of large-scale Technical Development projects involving fermentation and bioreactor systems by applying advanced scientific knowledge and skills in area of expertise. - Own projects or full technical areas as a lead. - Gaining knowledge on the entire innovation cycle and the role of Technical Development in completing a product licensure. - Utilize technical expertise to design and implement experiments, methods, protocols, and SOPs for process improvements within the area of expertise. - Perform hands-on laboratory work, including creating, developing and optimizing new methods and techniques at various scales. - Work independently to troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues. - Oversee data analysis and interpretation, providing detailed insights to project teams and management. - Serve as Project Lead, developing technical plans, and coordinating cross-functional communication and alignment with management involvement as needed. - Train and mentor others, fostering a learning environment and promoting technical development within the team. - Develop new innovative ideas and accelerate timelines for process scale-up and efficiencies. - Own projects for the PD function and represent TD on Project Team. - Define clear goals and make rapid decisions. - Responsible for acquiring resources for project completion and working with TD team members to accomplish the project. - Maintain a greater level of communication while working/representing the team to a larger audience as Project Leads. - Able to execute or find resources internally to complete a project as long as it is within the area of expertise (e.g., Development and Transfer of a process for bacterial product) - Work within the team to gather resources to finish tasks. - Relies less on management communication cross functionally. - Expected to be a knowledge source and trainer for team members. - Maintain accountability to the functional group and research/development teams for assigned tasks and responsibilities, embodying Elanco's values and demonstrating expected behaviors. - Establish and nurture key relationships with internal and external stakeholders to identify and meet customer requirements. - Proactively seeks feedback from peers and SMEs with openness. - Demonstrate flexibility and high learning agility to perform and adapt in a fast paced, rapidly changing environment. Note there are duplicates: some sentences appear twice in the original (like "Able to execute or find resources internally..." appears twice, also "Work within the team to gather resources..." etc). We'll deduplicate. Now Minimum Qualification: "Minimum Qualification (education, experience and/or training, required certifications): Master of Science (M.S) degree with greater than 10 years, or Ph.D. with 1 or more years of relevant experience. Comprehensive verbal and written communication skills. Demonstrated ability to understand and influence key business drivers within the discipline. Proven track record of training and mentoring others. High ethical and quality standards. Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to be employed in the United States. Elanco does not anticipate providing sponsorship for employment visa status (e.g. H-1B, or TN status) for this employment position" Additional Preferences: "Additional Preferences: Experience with downstream processing techniques/related equipment. Experience with biohazardous organisms. Experience in developing animal health products. Good understanding of the relevant regulations for animal health product development." Other Information: Travel: Occasional travel (primarily within the U.S.) Benefits list: "Multiple relocation packagesTwo weeklong shutdowns (mid-summer and year-end) in the US (in addition to PTO)8-week parental leave9 Employee Resource GroupsAnnual bonus offeringFlexible work arrangementsUp to 6% 401K matching" Note formatting: there are missing spaces; we need to parse. We'll produce Benefits as list items: - Multiple relocation packages - Two weeklong shutdowns (mid-summer and year-end) in the US (in addition to PTO) - 8-week parental leave - 9 Employee Resource Groups - Annual bonus offering - Flexible work arrangements - Up to 6% 401K matching Now we need to output HTML fragment with

    headings and
    • for lists,

      for prose. We'll not include any extra divs. Structure:

      About the role

      ... (intro + job description + travel)

      Responsibilities

      • ... each responsibility

      Requirements

      • ... each requirement (minimum qualification + additional preferences)

      Benefits

      • ... each benefit
      We need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO statements. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information: we must include the sentences about "Elanco does not anticipate providing sponsorship..." etc. That's part of Requirements. Also include "Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to be employed in the United States." Now we need to write the About the role paragraph: combine intro and job description and travel. Let's craft: "At Elanco (NYSE: ELAN) – it all starts with animals!
