Scientist
Guidehouse · Bethesda, MD · 1 mo ago
On-siteAnalyst$149k–$248k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Job Family Scientist Travel Required None Clearance Required Ability to Obtain Public Trust (metadata)
- What You Will Do: description of duties.
- What You Will Need: requirements.
- What Would Be Nice To Have: nice-to-have.
- Salary range: $149,000-$248,000.
- What We Offer: benefits list.
- About Guidehouse: EEO etc (boilerplate) remove.
- Also mention "The identified candidate meets the labor category requirements provided by the customer; no additional candidates were considered." and "Incumbent capture – no other candidates were considered due to an identified incumbent who meets the labor category requirements provided by the customer". This is fluff, maybe we can drop as it's not substantive? It's basically saying incumbent capture, no other candidates considered. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not a duty/requirement. Probably we can omit as it's not substantive info about role. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. This statement is about hiring process, not role. Could be considered boilerplate? It's not about job duties/requirements. Likely we can drop it as it's not substantive to the role. However it's part of posting; but instruction says remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is not exactly those categories but it's about incumbent capture. Might be considered fluff. Safer to keep? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The incumbent capture statement is substantive? It's about the hiring process, not the job. Might be considered not substantive for the role. I'd lean to omit.
We need sections:
- About the role: maybe a short paragraph summarizing role? The posting has "What You Will Do" which is duties. Could treat that as Responsibilities. About the role could be a brief overview: "We are currently searching for Scientist to provide independently provide support services to satisfy the overall operational objectives of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). This is a full-time, on-site opportunity in Bethesda, MD". That's substantive. So we can put that under About the role.
- Responsibilities: list of duties from "What You Will Do". Use
- .
- Requirements: from "What You Will Need". Use
- .
- Qualifications: maybe combine with Requirements? But we need separate sections only if content. Could put PhD, ten years experience etc under Requirements. Qualifications could be things like "Named as author or contributor on multiple peer-reviewed journal articles." That's also a requirement. Might be better to have Requirements and Qualifications separate: Requirements: PhD, ten years experience, ability to obtain public trust. Qualifications: advanced research techniques, author on multiple peer-reviewed articles. Skills: knowledge of advanced research techniques, electrophysiological recordings, etc. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine into Requirements and Skills.
Better: Use sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay.
Schedule: not mentioned (travel required none, but schedule not given). So omit Schedule.
Now extract details:
About the role: "We are currently searching for Scientist to provide independently provide support services to satisfy the overall operational objectives of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). This is a full-time, on-site opportunity in Bethesda, MD". Note there is a typo "independently provide". Keep as is.
Responsibilities (What You Will Do):
- Design and conduct experiments and studies that require the application of a broad professional knowledge of scientific theories and principles.
- Design and conduct independent experiments to complete separate previously initiated study using multi-electrode recording.
- Perform electrophysiological recordings in association with ongoing studies to understand sensory coding and neural plasticity in the mammalian olfactory bulb.
- Perform both slice recordings and in vivo whole animal recordings.
- Perform electrical recordings in response to optogenetic induced light simulation.
- Maintain and update laboratory notebooks and databases.
- Complete the data analysis associated with multi-electrode project.
- Organize data from study and assemble them in figure format appropriate for publication.
- Prepare summaries, reports and presentations.
- Train and provide support to staff on multi-electrode recording methods.
Requirements (What You Will Need):
- PhD Degree.
- Minimum ten (10) years of biological research experience.
- Must be able to obtain and maintain a Federal or DoD “public trust”; candidates must receive approved adjudication prior to onboarding with Guidehouse. Candidates with an active public trust or suitability are preferred.
Qualifications (maybe from "What You Will Need" advanced research techniques, named as author):
- Knowledge of advanced research techniques.
- Named as author or contributor on multiple peer-reviewed journal articles.
Skills (maybe from "What Would Be Nice To Have" and also from duties):
- NIH experience desired.
- Knowledgeable in MS Office.
- Also skills implied: electrophysiological recordings, slice recordings, in vivo whole animal recordings, optogenetic induced light simulation, data analysis, figure preparation, training staff.
But we might combine skills into Requirements/Qualifications. To avoid thin sections, maybe we have only About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. Qualifications and Skills could be omitted if content thin. However we have specific nice-to-have and qualifications that are substantive. Could make a Qualifications section for "Named as author or contributor on multiple peer-reviewed journal articles." and "Knowledge of advanced research techniques." Skills section for "NIH experience desired", "Knowledgeable in MS Office". That's still thin but each has at least two items.
Better: Combine Qualifications and Skills into one section "Qualifications and Skills". But headings list includes Qualifications and Skills separate. We could still include both if they have content.
Let's decide:
- About the role: paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list.
- Requirements: list (PhD, 10 years experience, public trust).
- Qualifications: list (advanced research techniques, author on multiple peer-reviewed articles).
- Skills: list (NIH experience desired, MS Office knowledge).
- Benefits: list from What We Offer.
- Pay: paragraph with salary range.
Now Benefits list: from "What We Offer Guidehouse offers a comprehensive, total rewards package that includes competitive compensation and a flexible benefits package that reflects our commitment to creating a diverse and supportive workplace.

We need to split into items. The text is concatenated without spaces. We need to parse manually.
Let's list benefits:
- Medical, Rx, Dental & Vision Insurance
- Personal and Family Sick Time & Company Paid Holidays
- Parental Leave
- 401(k) Retirement Plan

We can put that in a
under Pay heading. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate: Remove EEO etc. Also remove "About Guidehouse" etc. Also remove "If you have visited our website..." etc. Also remove "Note that Guidehouse will never charge a fee..." etc. Also remove "Guidehouse is not responsible for losses incurred..." etc. Now produce HTML fragment.
