Senior/Principal Scientist – Bioseparation & Analytical Development
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should not repeat job title as heading. The posting includes Overview, Responsibilities, Skills/Qualifications, Physical Demands, Company Overview, Diversity Statement (which is boilerplate EEO, should be removed). Also we need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we keep substantive info: Overview (maybe "About the role" or "Overview"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. We can choose appropriate headings based on content. The posting has "Overview Element Ann Arbor is currently seeking..." That's like a summary. Could map to "About the role". Then "Responsibilities" heading. Then "Skills / Qualifications" heading (maybe "Qualifications" or "Skills"). Then "Physical Demands" maybe not a standard heading but could be included under "Requirements"? However instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Physical Demands is present with specifics: lifting 50 lbs occasionally, stand long periods, lift 50+lbs periodically. That's substantive. Should we create a section for Physical Demands? Not in the list of example headings but we can still use with appropriate heading like "Physical Demands". The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive. Likely we can add other headings as needed. We'll include Physical Demands.
Company Overview: Could be "About the company" or "Company Overview". Might be considered substantive. We'll include a section "Company Overview". Diversity Statement is EEO boilerplate, remove.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from Overview, Responsibilities, Skills/Qualifications, Physical Demands, Company Overview.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Senior or Principal Scientist – Bioseparation". Not to be used as heading.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none present).
We must remove duplicated lines. Need to check for duplicates: The responsibilities list repeats modalities multiple times; we should keep but not duplicate identical lines? The posting has repeated list of modalities in Overview and Responsibilities. We should keep both but not duplicate identical sentences? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove duplicated lines that are exactly same. Let's scan.
