We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. First paragraph: "Build Our Future Together At Regeneron, we use science and innovation to develop life-changing medicines for people with serious diseases. We are seeking an Associate Scientist/Senior Associate Scientist to join our Nucleic Acid Therapeutics group, supporting drug discovery and technology development in the field of oligonucleotide therapeutics such as siRNAs and antisense oligonucleotides. In this role, you will develop assays and execute high-throughput screenings of hundreds to thousands of candidate molecules, while collaborating with your team to advance oligonucleotide therapeutic programs. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to a fast-growing, science-driven organization making a meaningful difference to patients worldwide." That's about the role: can be About the role. Then "When & Where Location: Tarrytown, NY Work model/flexibility: Onsite". That's location and schedule? It's location and work model (onsite). Could be Schedule? Not exactly schedule but work model. Could be included in a "Location" but we only have headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put location under Schedule? Not ideal. Maybe we can treat "When & Where" as location info, but we don't have a heading for location. Could fold into About the role as a short p. Or we could create a Schedule section with "Onsite" but that's not schedule. Better to include location in About the role paragraph. Then "Discover Your Role" heading then bullet list of duties: Develop assays to enable high-throughput oligonucleotide library screenings Execute high-throughput screening of hundreds to thousands of candidate molecules Perform cell culture optimization, bDNA, RT-qPCR, cell line generation, and transfection optimization Design probes and conduct compatibility tests, along with western blot analysis Work with automated or semi-automated processes, including liquid handlers and instruments such as KingFisher and QuantStudio Independently execute and refine techniques and technologies with general guidance Multi-task and shift priorities based on communicated department needs Thrive in a fast-paced environment, staying detail-oriented, organized, and eager to learn new techniques These are responsibilities. Then "This Role Requires" then bullet list: Bachelor's degree required; Master's degree preferred 2+ years of industrial experience in a relevant field highly appreciated Ability to independently execute and refine techniques with general guidance, multi-tasking across shifting priorities Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to work well in a team Preferred: experience with automated/semi-automated liquid handlers, KingFisher, and QuantStudio Preferred: knowledge of oligonucleotide chemistry and RNA biology These are qualifications/requirements/skills. We need to separate into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills perhaps. We have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements: education, experience. Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications. Skills: technical skills. We can assign: - Requirements: Bachelor's degree required; Master's degree preferred; 2+ years of industrial experience in a relevant field highly appreciated; Ability to independently execute and refine techniques with general guidance, multi-tasking across shifting priorities; Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to work well in a team. - Qualifications: Preferred: experience with automated/semi-automated liquid handlers, KingFisher, and QuantStudio; Preferred: knowledge of oligonucleotide chemistry and RNA biology. - Skills: maybe we could combine but we already used skills for technical? Actually we could put technical skills under Skills: experience with automated/semi-automated liquid handlers, KingFisher, QuantStudio; knowledge of oligonucleotide chemistry and RNA biology. But those are also qualifications. Might be overlapping. Better to follow typical: Requirements = mandatory; Qualifications = preferred; Skills = specific abilities. But we have limited content. We could also combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section if thin. But instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have Requirements (including education, experience, abilities) and Skills (technical). Qualifications maybe not needed. Let's see: we have "Preferred: experience with automated/semi-automated liquid handlers, KingFisher, and QuantStudio" and "Preferred: knowledge of oligonucleotide chemistry and RNA biology". Those are skills/qualifications. Could go under Skills. Thus: - About the role: intro paragraph + location. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: Bachelor's degree required; Master's degree preferred; 2+ years of industrial experience in a relevant field highly appreciated; Ability to independently execute and refine techniques with general guidance, multi-tasking across shifting priorities; Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to work well in a team. - Skills: Experience with automated/semi-automated liquid handlers, KingFisher, and QuantStudio; Knowledge of oligonucleotide chemistry and RNA biology. Now Benefits, Pay, Schedule: The posting includes some benefits info later: "Regeneron offers a competitive and comprehensive total rewards package which may include, depending on country and role: annual bonuses or other incentive plans, equity awards, pension or retirement benefits, 401(k) company match, health and wellness programs, fitness centers, insurance benefits (e.g. medical, dental, vision, life and disability), paid time off, and family support benefits." That's benefits. Also there is mention of salary range: "For jobs in Canada: this posting is for an existing position. Salary Range (annually)" but no actual range given. It says "Salary Range (annually)" but no numbers. That's placeholder; we should not create Pay section unless actual numbers given. Since no specific range, we should not include Pay. Schedule: we have location and work model: Onsite. Could be Schedule? Not exactly schedule but we could put under Schedule: Onsite (work model). However instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state work model/flexibility: Onsite. That's schedule info (onsite vs remote). So we can include Schedule section with "Onsite". That's specific. Benefits: we have description of benefits. So include Benefits section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We need to output HTML fragment: use

for section headings,
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation, etc. Also remove "Does this sound like you? Apply now..." etc. Also remove navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Thus we need to cut out: - "Does this sound like you? Apply now to take your first step towards living the Regeneron Way!" - EEO paragraph. - "We are committed to building a workplace with an inclusive culture." Actually that's part of EEO? Might be considered boilerplate; remove. - The paragraph about reasonable accommodation. - "Where required, we will provide reasonable accommodation..." - "Where necessary, we disclose salary ranges..." - "Regeneron offers a competitive and comprehensive total rewards package..." Actually that's benefits; we keep that but maybe we need to keep the list. That's not boilerplate; it's substantive benefits description. Keep. - "For additional information about Regeneron benefits in the U.S., please visit ..." That's application instruction/link; remove. - "For other locations, additional information will be provided during the recruitment process." Remove. - "If you have any questions, please speak with your recruiter." Remove. - "Please be advised that at Regeneron, we believe we do our best work when we are together..." Remove. - "As part of the recruitment process, certain background checks may be conducted..." Remove. - "For jobs in Canada: this posting is for an existing position. Salary Range (annually)" Remove because it's placeholder and no actual range. Also remove duplicated lines. Now we need to keep location: "Location: Tarrytown, NY Work model/flexibility: Onsite". We'll incorporate into About the role maybe as a short p. Let's craft About the role paragraph: "Build Our Future Together At Regeneron, we use science and innovation to develop life-changing medicines for people with serious diseases. We are seeking an Associate Scientist/Senior Associate Scientist to join our Nucleic Acid Therapeutics group, supporting drug discovery and technology development in the field of oligonucleotide therapeutics such as siRNAs and antisense oligonucleotides. In this role, you will develop assays and execute high-throughput screenings of hundreds to thousands of candidate molecules, while collaborating with your team to advance oligonucleotide therapeutic programs. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to a fast-growing, science-driven organization making a meaningful difference to patients worldwide. Location: Tarrytown, NY. Work model/flexibility: Onsite." That's prose; we can put in

    . Now Responsibilities: list items. We need to convert each line into

  • . The lines: - Develop assays to enable high-throughput oligonucleotide library screenings - Execute high-throughput screening of hundreds to thousands of candidate molecules - Perform cell culture optimization, bDNA, RT-qPCR, cell line generation, and transfection optimization - Design probes and conduct compatibility tests, along with western blot analysis - Work with automated or semi-automated processes, including liquid handlers and instruments such as KingFisher and QuantStudio - Independently execute and refine techniques and technologies with general guidance - Multi-task and shift priorities based on communicated department needs - Thrive in a fast-paced environment, staying detail-oriented, organized, and eager to learn new techniques Make sure to keep punctuation. Now Requirements: list items: - Bachelor's degree required; Master's degree preferred - 2+ years of industrial experience in a relevant field highly appreciated - Ability to independently execute and refine techniques with general guidance, multi-tasking across shifting priorities - Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to work well in a team Now Skills: list items: - Experience with automated/semi-automated liquid handlers, KingFisher, and QuantStudio - Knowledge of oligonucleotide chemistry and RNA biology Now Benefits: we have description: "Regeneron offers a competitive and comprehensive total rewards package which may include, depending on country and role: annual bonuses or other incentive plans, equity awards, pension or retirement benefits, 401(k) company match, health and wellness programs, fitness centers, insurance benefits (e.g. medical, dental, vision, life and disability), paid time off, and family support benefits." We could turn into a

    or

    • . Since it's a list of benefits, we can use
      • . The sentence includes a colon then list. We'll break into items: - annual bonuses or other incentive plans - equity awards - pension or retirement benefits - 401(k) company match - health and wellness programs - fitness centers - insurance benefits (e.g. medical, dental, vision, life and disability) - paid time off - family support benefits We can keep the introductory clause as a

        maybe: "Regeneron offers a competitive and comprehensive total rewards package which may include, depending on country and role:" then

          . But instruction: use

          for prose. So we can have a

          for the intro sentence, then

            for list. Or we could just make a

            containing the whole sentence; but they said use

            • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should use list for benefits. We'll include a

              for the intro maybe optional. But we can just do

              • directly; it's still a list. The instruction: "Use
                • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". So we can just output
                  • items. No need for preceding

                    . We'll do that. Now Schedule: we have "Onsite". Could be a

                    with "Onsite". Since it's not a
