Preferences: Related psychological laboratory and/or research experience; Ability to maintain the confidentiality of sensitive information. We could put Skills section for the required skills, and maybe Qualifications for preferences? Or combine. But we must not create thin sections. Better to have a Skills section that includes both required skills and preferences? Could separate into Skills (required) and Preferences (optional). But we have allowed headings: Skills, Qualifications. Preferences not listed but we could treat as Qualifications? Actually Qualifications could include both required and preferred qualifications. But we already have Requirements for minimum requirements. Qualifications could be for preferred qualifications. Let's do: - About the role (summary) - Responsibilities (essential + additional functions) - Requirements (minimum requirements) - Qualifications (preferred qualifications) - Skills (maybe we could merge with Qualifications? But we have both Skills and Qualifications headings allowed. We could put Skills as the list of skills, and Qualifications as preferences? Or we could put Skills as the skill list, and Qualifications as the preferences (like related lab experience, confidentiality). That seems reasonable. But we also have Skills list includes many items; Preferences includes two items. So we can have Skills section with the skill list (maybe as
  ). Qualifications section with preferences (maybe as
  ). Pay section: hiring range $21.64/hour, non-exempt, eligible for overtime. Schedule section: part-time up to 20 hours per week, funded for one year. Benefits section: link to benefits.
