We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have University Overview (general about university) but not specific to role. The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have: - Job Description Summary (maybe "About the role") - Job Description (Responsibilities) - Qualifications (Research Specialist A and B) - Pay Range (Pay) - Benefits (University Benefits) - Job Location maybe not a heading; could be folded into a short

or omitted. - Department / School maybe part of About the role. We should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: University Overview? That's generic but maybe considered boilerplate? It's about the university, not specific to role. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. University Overview might be considered generic but it's substantive about employer. Might keep as part of "About the role"? However they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine University Overview and Job Description Summary into "About the role". But we must preserve all substantive information; we can include it in a

under About the role. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

headings,
  • for lists,

    for prose. We need to decide sections: - About the role: includes University Overview and Job Description Summary (maybe also Department/School). We'll put that in

    . - Responsibilities: from Job Description (the work includes...). Also includes Research Specialist A and B specifics? Those are more like duties for each level. Could combine under Responsibilities. - Requirements/Qualifications: Qualifications for A and B. - Benefits: University Benefits. - Pay: Pay Range. We should not include Schedule (not present). Skills maybe not separate; could be part of Qualifications. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay Range is given. We need to preserve all details: list of duties, techniques, etc. Let's extract details.
