Scientific Affairs Manager
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodations, etc. Also remove "Note: USP does not accept unsolicited resumes..." etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" (Brief Job Overview + How will YOU create impact?), "Responsibilities", "Qualifications" (or "Requirements"), "Benefits". Possibly also "Skills" but we can incorporate into qualifications.
We must not create sections with filler text. Ensure each heading has real content.
Let's extract content.
