Scientist (Ph.D.)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Key parts: - About Exponent (company description) maybe not needed? The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly. We have "Our Opportunity" describing role: "We are currently seeking a Scientist for our User Sciences Practice to be based in our Philadelphia, PA office. In this role, you will work as part of a team to conduct user experience (UX) and usability research across a range of projects spanning consumer electronics hardware and software, medical devices, wearable technology, and artificial intelligence (AI) applications. Your work will help clients understand how users interact with their products—uncovering usability challenges, informing design improvements, and providing insights into safe and intuitive use. You will collaborate with a team of scientists and engineers from complementary disciplines to deliver research-driven insights that are rigorous, actionable, and clearly communicated to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Projects will often span study design through data collection, analysis, and final reporting." Then bullet list of responsibilities: "You will be responsible for" with list items. Then "You Will Have The Following Skills And Qualifications" list. Then "Life @ Exponent" with links and culture description. Then "Work Environment" description. Then "Compensation" description: mentions base salary range dependent on experience, bi-weekly bonuses, annual bonus, 401(k) employer contribution 7% of base salary. Then "Benefits You Will Enjoy" with link. We need to include sections only if real specific content. We have: - About the role: could be the "Our Opportunity" paragraph describing role. That's suitable. - Responsibilities: the list after "You will be responsible for". That's specific. - Requirements: maybe the qualifications list? Could be "You Will Have The Following Skills And Qualifications". That includes both skills and qualifications. Could split into Requirements and Skills? But we can put under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple of those. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have content for: - About the role: yes. - Responsibilities: yes. - Requirements: maybe the qualifications list (Ph.D., location, willingness to travel, etc.) Could be considered Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe also same as Requirements? Might be redundant. Could combine. - Skills: the list includes proficiency in analytical, statistical, computer programming, communication skills, etc. That's skills. - Benefits: we have "Benefits You Will Enjoy" with link to Life@Exponent page. That's specific enough? It says "Access benefits information on our Life@Exponent page: link". That's not specific benefits but a link. Might be considered not specific enough? The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state "Benefits You Will Enjoy" and provides a link. That's arguably stating benefits exist but not enumerating. Might be considered not specific detail. However we could still include Benefits section with a paragraph referencing the link. It's not filler like "commensurate with experience". It's a real statement. So we can include. - Pay: we have Compensation section with details: base salary range dependent on experience, bi-weekly bonuses for high-intensity efforts, annual bonus and 401(k) employer contribution of 7% of base salary. That's specific enough for Pay section. - Schedule: not mentioned. No schedule info. So we omit Schedule. We also have Work Environment and Life @ Exponent description. Could be considered "About the company" but not in headings list. Not required to include. Could ignore or maybe include under About the role? But we already have About the role. The work environment could be omitted as not in headings list. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. Probably we should stick to those headings only. So we omit Work Environment and Life @ Exponent description unless we map to Benefits? The Benefits section we can include the link and maybe a brief statement about benefits. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting, but we can reformat into HTML. We must not omit substantive info like the description of work environment, life at exponent, etc. If we omit those sections, we would be losing substantive info. The instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information". So we need to include all substantive info, even if not under those headings. But we are limited to using those headings for sections; we could still include other content as paragraphs without headings, or we could create additional sections with appropriate headings not from list? The instruction says "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive list. So we can use other headings if needed, but we should follow the pattern. However they say "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect us to use those headings for the sections we include. But we can also include other content as paragraphs without headings. Thus we can include all substantive info: company description, opportunity, responsibilities, qualifications/skills, life at exponent, work environment, compensation, benefits, job location. We need to avoid boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. We must remove the EEO statement and accommodation line, and the "Applicants are encouraged to submit a CV..." maybe that's not boilerplate? It's part of application instructions? It says "Applicants are encouraged to submit a CV (Curriculum Vitae) with publications (feel free to include publications that are in review or pending) [not restricted to 1 page]." That's an application instruction; we should remove it. Also "Thanks for your interest in joining our team!" maybe boilerplate? Might be considered fluff but not boilerplate; but it's not substantive? It's a polite closing. Might be considered not substantive; we can drop. Also "Key statistics: 950+ Consultants 640+ Ph.D.s 90+ Disciplines 30+ Offices globally" is substantive? It's about the company; we can keep. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:
