Senior Research and Policy Associate

We need to produce HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to extract content: The posting includes description about role, responsibilities, qualifications, etc. Also salary range given: $89,100.00 - $120,400.00. Also mention "Salary commensurate with education and experience." That is not specific enough? It says "Salary range" then "Salary commensurate with education and experience." The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state salary range, so we can include Pay section with that range. Benefits: not mentioned explicitly. Schedule: not mentioned. So we omit Benefits and Schedule. We need sections: About the role (maybe a summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay. Possibly also "Preferred Qualifications" could be part of Qualifications or separate? We can combine. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Use

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

  for prose. We need to decide what goes where. About the role: could be the first paragraph describing the position: "The Coelho Center for Disability Law, Policy, and Innovation (TCC) at Loyola Marymount University seeks a Senior Associate for Research and Policy to support and advance TCC’s research, policy, and public-facing work. This position will work closely with the Faculty Director to develop and implement TCC’s research agenda, produce policy briefs and reports, support community-engaged research projects, supervise research staff and student fellows, and help translate scholarship into meaningful policy interventions." That's prose. Responsibilities: list of duties from "Position Specific Responsibilities/Accountabilities" bullet list. We'll turn each line into

• . Requirements: maybe "Requisite Qualifications" section includes typical qualifications: J.D. or Ph.D etc, minimum 3 years experience, demonstrated knowledge, etc. Could be split into Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). But we have both sections: Requirements and Qualifications. We'll put the "Requisite Qualifications" as Requirements (must-haves). And "Preferred Qualifications" as Qualifications (nice-to-haves). Skills: maybe we can extract skills like strong research, writing, project management, policy analysis, ability to work independently, manage complex projects, collaborate, produce clear written materials, supervisory, interpersonal, accessibility commitment, computer competency, etc. Could be placed under Skills. But we must not duplicate content. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to ensure each piece appears somewhere. Let's parse the text: First paragraph: description. Then "Position Specific Responsibilities/Accountabilities" followed by a list of responsibilities (each sentence ends with a period). We'll list them. Then "Loyola Marymount University Expectations" - that's generic expectations; could be considered part of Requirements? It's about behavior supporting mission etc. Might be considered part of Requirements or maybe we can include under Requirements as expectations. But it's generic; still substantive. We'll include maybe under Requirements as a
  list. Then "Requisite Qualifications" with bullet-like sentences (though not bulleted). We'll convert each sentence to
  • . Then "Preferred Qualifications" similarly. We also have "Computer competency, including proficiency with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and research/project management tools. Familiarity with Qualtrics, Zotero, SPSS, SmartSheet, or similar tools is preferred but not required." That's part of requisite qualifications. Also "The above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed. They are not intended to be construed as an exhaustive list of all responsibilities." That's boilerplate; we should drop. Then "Staff Term (Fixed Term)" maybe not needed. Then "Salary range$89,100.00 - $120,400.00 Salary commensurate with education and experience." We'll put Pay section with that range. Then "Please note that this position may not be eligible for visa sponsorship now or in the future." That's maybe metadata; we could drop as minor metadata? It's not heading; we could fold into a short p under Pay or maybe drop. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. This is minor metadata; we could drop or include as a p under Pay. Probably drop. Then LMU description about mission etc. That's boilerplate; drop. Then EEO etc; drop. Thus final HTML: sections: About the role (

). We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. All have content. Now we need to extract precise sentences. Let's copy the responsibilities list exactly as given (but we can trim trailing spaces). The list: - Develop, coordinate, and manage research and policy projects in collaboration with the Faculty Director. - Conduct legal, policy, qualitative, and/or mixed-methods research related to disability law, disability rights, care infrastructure, public benefits, health care, employment, housing, and related areas. - Draft, revise, and edit policy briefs, white papers, research reports, public-facing explainers, grant materials, presentations, and other TCC publications. - Track and synthesize relevant developments in federal, state, and local disability law and policy, including California-specific developments where applicable. - Support the design and implementation of community-engaged research projects, including interviews, focus groups, surveys, landscape scans, literature reviews, and policy analyses. - Maintain a research infrastructure, including project timelines, databases, bibliographies, codebooks, interview protocols, data management systems, and publication workflows. - Supervise and mentor associate research staff, graduate research fellows, undergraduate research assistants, and/or student workers on TCC projects. - Coordinate research assignments, review work product, provide feedback, and ensure timely completion of deliverables. - Assist with planning and execution of TCC convenings, workshops, public programs, stakeholder meetings, and policy roundtables. - Collaborate with disability advocates, service providers, scholars, legal professionals, policymakers, community organizations, and people with lived experience. - Support grant writing, fundraising proposals, donor reports, and other development-related materials in partnership with the Faculty Director and university staff. - Prepare sophisticated presentations, briefing materials, public reports, and visual summaries of research findings. - Represent TCC in relevant university, professional, community, policy, and advocacy settings, including public meetings, briefings, coalition spaces, stakeholder conversations, and conferences. - Ensure that TCC research and programming reflect strong commitments to accessibility, disability inclusion, ethical research practices, and community accountability. - Perform other duties as assigned or requested. We need to keep all. Now Requirements: from "Loyola Marymount University Expectations" and "Requisite Qualifications". Let's capture expectations: - Exhibit behavior that supports the mission, vision, and values of the university. - Communicate and employ interpersonal actions that model high standards of professional, responsible, accountable, and ethical conduct. - Demonstrate a commitment to outstanding service, inclusive excellence, and the building of a just society. Then Requisite Qualifications (must-haves): - Typically, a J.D. or Ph.D in public policy, political science, or sociolegal studies, or equivalent advanced degree in law, public policy, disability studies, social work, sociology, public health, political science, psychology, gender studies, or a related field. - Minimum 3 years’ experience conducting research, policy analysis, legal analysis, program evaluation, or community-engaged research in an academic, nonprofit, legal, governmental, advocacy, or policy setting. - Demonstrated knowledge of disability law, disability policy, disability studies, disability justice, or related fields. - Excellent writing skills, including the ability to translate complex research, legal, and policy material for multiple audiences. - Strong organizational and project management skills, including the ability to manage multiple projects, deadlines, collaborators, and deliverables. - Ability to work independently and collaboratively, exercise sound judgment, and make consistent progress without close day-to-day supervision. - Experience supervising, mentoring, or coordinating the work of students, research assistants, junior staff, fellows, or interns. - Strong interpersonal skills and demonstrated ability to work respectfully with diverse communities, including disabled people, families, advocates, service providers, scholars, and institutional partners. - Demonstrated commitment to accessibility, disability inclusion, ethical research practices, and equity. - Computer competency, including proficiency with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and research/project management tools. Familiarity with Qualtrics, Zotero, SPSS, SmartSheet, or similar tools is preferred but not required. We could combine expectations and requisite qualifications into Requirements section. Or separate? The instruction: we have sections Requirements and Qualifications. Likely Requirements = mandatory, Qualifications = preferred. So we put expectations + requisite qualifications under Requirements. And preferred qualifications under Qualifications. Now Qualifications (preferred): - Experience with national and California disability systems, including Medi-Cal, Medicaid, regional centers, developmental disability services, special education, community-based services, housing, employment, or long-term services and supports. - Experience producing policy briefs, legislative testimony, public reports, grant proposals, academic publications, or legal/policy memoranda. - Experience working with disability-led organizations, advocacy groups, public agencies, legal services organizations, research centers, or university-based institutes. - Experience with both qualitative and quantitative research methods. - Experience planning public programs, convenings, stakeholder meetings, or community-engaged research events. - Familiarity with accessibility practices for public events, digital materials, presentations, and research dissemination. Now Skills: we could extract skills mentioned elsewhere not already covered. But many skills are already in requirements/qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could still list skills like: strong research, writing, project management, policy analysis, ability to work independently, manage complex projects, collaborate, produce clear written materials, supervisory, interpersonal, accessibility commitment, computer competency, etc. However that would duplicate content. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is not prohibited but might be redundant. Better to avoid duplication by not creating a Skills section if its content is already covered elsewhere. However we need to decide if we should include Skills section. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. If we already have Requirements and Qualifications covering skills, we could omit Skills. But we need to check if any skill not captured elsewhere: maybe "strong research, writing, project management, and policy analysis skills" is in the first paragraph. That's covered in Requirements (excellent writing skills, strong organizational and project management skills). "Ability to work independently, manage complex projects, collaborate with faculty and community partners, and produce clear written materials for academic, policy, practitioner, and public audiences." That's covered in Requirements (ability to work independently and collaboratively, etc.) and maybe also in Responsibilities. So Skills section may be redundant. We could omit Skills. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay. Now we need to format. Let's craft About the role paragraph: combine first two sentences maybe.
