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. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key content:
- Intro paragraph about division: "The Division of Physics provides comprehensive clinical and research support for faculty and professional staff. The team coordinates patient care, educational programs, and research initiatives while ensuring operational efficiency across multiple sections. This division plays a critical role in advancing cancer treatment through innovative practices and collaborative efforts."
- Primary purpose: "The primary purpose of this position is to perform complex administrative activities that support departmental operations and provide advanced-level administrative and secretarial assistance. This role requires independent judgment, initiative, and strong organizational skills to manage multiple priorities under minimal supervision. Excellent verbal and written communication skills are essential for interacting with staff, patients, and visitors at all levels."
- Ideal candidate description: "The ideal candidate has a strong administrative background with experience in calendar management, event coordination, and financial tracking. They are detail-oriented, highly organized, and proficient in handling confidential information. Advanced communication skills, both written and verbal, are required, along with the ability to work independently and under pressure. Experience with travel coordination, website maintenance, and project management is highly valued."

Accruals for PTO and Extended Illness Bank, plus paid holidays, wellness, childcare, and other leave options. Tuition Assistance Program after six months of service and access to extensive wellness, fitness, and employee resource groups.

- Job Duties list: bullet points.
- Education: "Required: High School Diploma or Equivalent Preferred: Associate's Degree or Preferred: Bachelor's Degree"
- Work Experience: "Required: 5 years Administrative/secretarial experience. or Required: 3 years Required experience with Associate's degree. or Required: 1 year Required experience with Bachelor's degree."
- Other Requirements: "Must pass pre-employment skills test as required and administered by Human Resources."
- Additional info: benefits statement repeated, but we already have benefits.
- Security infrastructure mention: maybe not needed? It's substantive but could be part of Requirements? It says: "This position may be responsible for maintaining the security and integrity of critical infrastructure, as defined in Section 113.001(2) of the Texas Business and Commerce Code and therefore may require routine reviews and screening. The ability to satisfy and maintain all requirements necessary to ensure the continued security and integrity of such infrastructure is a condition of hire and continued employment." That's a requirement.
- EEO boilerplate to remove.
- Additional Information: Requisition ID etc to drop.
We need to decide sections.
We have:
- About the role: could include division description and primary purpose.
- Responsibilities: Job Duties list.
- Requirements: could include Education, Work Experience, Other Requirements (skills test, security integrity). Could also include "Must pass pre-employment skills test".
- Qualifications: maybe education and experience combined? But we have both Requirements and Qualifications; we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose which to include based on content.
We have content for:
- About the role: division description + primary purpose.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: education, experience, other requirements (skills test, security).
- Qualifications: maybe we could treat "ideal candidate has strong administrative background..." as Qualifications? But that overlaps with Skills. Could put Skills: advanced communication, independent judgment, initiative, organizational skills, detail-oriented, etc. However we already have many skill-like statements in the ideal candidate paragraph. Could separate: Skills: communication, organization, etc. Qualifications: education, experience. But we have both education and experience as requirements. Might be better to put Requirements for education/experience/other, and Qualifications for ideal candidate traits? However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should combine where possible.
We could have:
- About the role (division + purpose)
- Responsibilities (duties list)
- Requirements (education, experience, other requirements)
- Skills (communication, organization, independent judgment, etc.)
- Benefits
- Pay
- Schedule
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for each.
Let's extract specifics.
About the role: combine division description and primary purpose.
Paragraph: "The Division of Physics provides comprehensive clinical and research support for faculty and professional staff. The team coordinates patient care, educational programs, and research initiatives while ensuring operational efficiency across multiple sections. This division plays a critical role in advancing cancer treatment through innovative practices and collaborative efforts. The primary purpose of this position is to perform complex administrative activities that support departmental operations and provide advanced-level administrative and secretarial assistance. This role requires independent judgment, initiative, and strong organizational skills to manage multiple priorities under minimal supervision. Excellent verbal and written communication skills are essential for interacting with staff, patients, and visitors at all levels."
That's substantive.
Responsibilities: list from Job Duties:
- Provide high-level administrative support to faculty, professional staff, and dosimetry/physics teams.
- Coordinate complex calendars, meetings, seminars, and conferences, including advertising and visitor arrangements.
- Manage departmental operations such as mail distribution, lab coat delivery, and front desk coverage.
- Process and track purchase requisitions, monitor spending, and reconcile financial reports.
- Coordinate domestic and international travel, including multi-destination itineraries and visa requirements.
- Assist with faculty recruitment visits and annual conference logistics.
- Maintain and update departmental intranet and internet content.
- Operate standard office equipment and manage poster printing for departmental events.
- Mentor new support staff and attend scheduled meetings.
- Handle confidential projects requiring independent judgment and adherence to institutional policies.
We'll put each as .
Requirements: Education, Experience, Other Requirements (skills test, security). Let's list:
Education:
- Required: High School Diploma or Equivalent
- Preferred: Associate's Degree
- Preferred: Bachelor's Degree
Work Experience:
- Required: 5 years Administrative/secretarial experience
- OR: 3 years experience with Associate's degree
- OR: 1 year experience with Bachelor's degree
Other Requirements:
- Must pass pre-employment skills test as required and administered by Human Resources.
- This position may be responsible for maintaining the security and integrity of critical infrastructure (per Texas Business and Commerce Code); ability to satisfy and maintain all requirements necessary to ensure continued security and integrity is a condition of hire and continued employment.
We'll format as
- for each bullet, maybe grouping.
Skills: from ideal candidate paragraph: strong administrative background, experience in calendar management, event coordination, financial tracking; detail-oriented, highly organized; proficient in handling confidential information; advanced communication skills (written and verbal); ability to work independently and under pressure; experience with travel coordination, website maintenance, project management highly valued.
We'll list as bullet points.
Benefits: from "What's in it for you?" paragraph.
- Employer-paid medical coverage starting day one for employees working 30+ hours/week, plus optional group dental, vision, life, AD&D, and disability insurance.
- Accruals for PTO and Extended Illness Bank, plus paid holidays, wellness, childcare, and other leave options.
- Tuition Assistance Program after six months of service and access to extensive wellness, fitness, and employee resource groups.
- Defined-benefit pension through the Teachers Retirement System, voluntary retirement plans, and employer-paid life and reduced salary protection programs.
Pay: Hourly breakdown: Minimum $21.88 - Midpoint $27.40 - Maximum $32.93
Also there is additional salary info: Minimum Salary: $45,500; Midpoint: $57,000; Maximum: $68,500 (annual). Should we include both? The posting includes both hourly breakdown and annual salary. We should preserve all substantive information. So we can include both hourly and annual. Maybe combine: "Hourly: Minimum $21.88 - Midpoint $27.40 - Maximum $32.93 (equivalent to annual Minimum $45,500 - Midpoint $57,000 - Maximum $68,500)". That preserves both.
Schedule: "The typical work schedule is Monday - Friday, standard business hours, with occasional flexibility required for events or departmental needs."
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /. Use

- for lists. Use
for prose. We must not repeat job title. Not include Job ID etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal statements. We must not create sections with filler. All sections we propose have content. Let's craft. Structure:
