Senior Research Associate

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Job Title: Senior Research Associate (not heading). Agency: Texas A&M University. Department: Texas A&M Institute for Genome Sciences & Society. Proposed Minimum Salary: Commensurate (should not create Pay section because it's not specific). Job Location: College Station, Texas. Job Type: Staff. We have sections: Who We Are (maybe About the role). What We Want (description). What You Need To Know (salary note, special note). Other Requirements and Factors (funding contingency, travel, beyond normal hours). Essential Duties/Tasks (list). Qualifications (Required Education and Experience, Preferred Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities). Why Texas A&M University? (benefits). Our Commitment (EEO etc - should be removed as boilerplate). Also "All positions are security-sensitive..." etc is boilerplate; remove. We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which content fits. - About the role: Could be "Who We Are" and "What We Want". That's description of role and institute. - Responsibilities: Essential Duties/Tasks list. - Requirements: Could be "Other Requirements and Factors" (funding contingency, travel, beyond normal hours) plus maybe "What You Need To Know" (special note about cover letter). But "Requirements" heading is for mandatory requirements? Might be okay. - Qualifications: Required Education and Experience, Preferred Qualifications. - Skills: Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities. - Benefits: Why Texas A&M University? includes benefits like medical, prescription drug, dental, vision, life and AD&D, flexible spending accounts, long-term disability insurance, 12-15 days annual paid holidays, up to eight hours paid sick leave, at least eight hours paid vacation each month, automatic enrollment in Teacher Retirement System, health and wellness free exercise programs, professional development LinkedIn Learning, educational release time tuition assistance, Living Well program. - Pay: The posting only says "Compensation will be commensurate to the selected hire’s experience." That's not specific; we should NOT create Pay section because it's not specific (commensurate with experience). According to instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. So we should NOT include Pay section. - Schedule: Not mentioned specifically; only "may require work beyond normal office hours and/or work on weekends." That's not a schedule definition; but could be considered schedule info? It's not a specific schedule like "full-time, 40 hrs/week". It's a condition. The instruction says never create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does not state a schedule; just mentions possible beyond normal hours. So we should not create Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. We must use

for section headings. 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. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove "Special Note: A cover letter and resume are strongly recommended." That's application instruction? It's about application materials; likely considered application instruction; we should remove it. Also remove "This position is funded from grant and/or contract funding..." maybe that's a requirement? It's about contingency; could be considered a requirement (funding contingency). It's substantive; we should keep. Also "This position may require up to 2% or more travel." and "This position may require work beyond normal office hours and/or work on weekends." Keep as requirements. Also remove "All positions are security-sensitive..." etc (EEO boilerplate). Remove "Equal Opportunity/Veterans/Disability Employer." Remove. Also remove "Proposed Minimum SalaryCommensurate" line? It's just a label; we can drop as it's not specific. Also remove "Job LocationCollege Station, TexasJob TypeStaff" maybe we can incorporate location and job type into About the role? But we must not invent headings; we could include location and job type in a short paragraph under About the role. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." So we can include location and job type in a paragraph. Thus About the role paragraph could include: Who we are (TIGSS aims...), What we want (TPPC seeking Senior Research Associate...), plus location and job type. We must preserve all substantive info; we can combine. Now Responsibilities: list of Essential Duties/Tasks. We need to output as

  • each duty. We must not lose any duty. Let's extract them: Essential Duties/Tasks (under headings Core Research & Technical Operations, Training & User Support, Research Support & Scholarly Activities, Administration). We'll combine all bullet points. List: Core Research & Technical Operations: - Design, plan, coordinate, and conduct experiments supporting investigator-initiated research projects and core facility services. - Operate, maintain, troubleshoot, calibrate, and perform preventive maintenance on Imaging Mass Cytometry (Hyperion) and other assigned core instrumentation. - Develop, optimize, validate, and implement standard and specialized laboratory protocols and workflows. - Collect, analyze, interpret, and document experimental data using appropriate software and statistical methods. - Ensure accurate recordkeeping, quality control, compliance with SOPs, and adherence to institutional safety and regulatory requirements. - Recommend and implement improvements to laboratory procedures, workflows, and equipment performance. - Coordinate instrument scheduling, monitor performance metrics, and communicate with vendors regarding maintenance and service as needed. Training & User Support: - Train faculty, staff, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduate students on proper operation of Imaging Mass Cytometry instrumentation and associated workflows. - Develop and maintain user training materials, SOPs, and instructional documentation. - Provide technical consultation, troubleshooting, and ongoing support to core users. - Monitor user competency and ensure compliance with laboratory policies and safety procedures. Research Support & Scholarly Activities: - Analyze, summarize, and interpret experimental results for investigators and collaborators. - Contribute to scientific publications, technical reports, presentations, and grant proposals. - Assist with development of new assays, technologies, and core service capabilities. - Maintain documentation required for research projects, quality assurance, and funding activities. Administration: - Assist with daily operation of the core facility, including scheduling, inventory management, reagent procurement, equipment maintenance records, and service documentation. - Maintain instrument usage logs, quality assurance records, and billing documentation. - Participate in budgeting, equipment planning, vendor communications, and implementation of new technologies. - Perform other core facility duties as assigned to support TPPC operations. Now Requirements: includes "Other Requirements and Factors" (funding contingency, travel, beyond normal hours) plus maybe "What You Need To Know" (special note about cover letter removed). Also maybe "Proposed Minimum Salary" removed. Also maybe "Job Type Staff" included earlier. We need to keep: "This position is funded from grant and/or contract funding, which is renewed through provisions of the grantor of the contract. Therefore, this position is contingent upon continuation of funding from these grants and/or contracts, as well as satisfactory job performance" "This position may require up to 2% or more travel." "This position may require work beyond normal office hours and/or work on weekends." Also maybe "Special Note: A cover letter and resume are strongly recommended." we removed as application instruction. Also maybe "Job LocationCollege Station, TexasJob TypeStaff" we can include in About the role paragraph. Thus Requirements section will be a
    • list of those three items. Now Qualifications: includes Required Education and Experience, Preferred Qualifications. We need to preserve all detail. Required Education and Experience: - Bachelor’s degree in in biology, chemistry, biomedical sciences, engineering, or a related field - Four years of relevant research or core facility experience, to include experience operating and maintaining advanced analytical, imaging, or mass spectrometry instrumentation. Preferred Qualifications: - Master’s degree in a related field - Experience with Hyperion Imaging Mass Cytometry (IMC), imaging mass spectrometry, or CyTOF technologies. - Experience in a university core facility or shared research resource. - Experience developing SOPs, training users, and supporting fee-for-service research operations. - Familiarity with tissue preparation, immunohistochemistry, antibody panel development, and image analysis. - Experience with IMC data processing and image analysis software. We should output as
      • under Qualifications heading. Now Skills: Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities list. List: - Strong organizational, troubleshooting, and communication skills. - Ability to work independently while supporting multiple investigators in a shared research environment. - Ability to effectively communicate both orally and in writing - Ability to positively and professionally interact with clients and staff - Excellent communication and presentation skills - Strong interpersonal and organizational skills - Familiarity with appropriate laboratory and/or technical equipment. - Ability to effectively utilize a computer and applicable software. - Attention to detail. - Ability to multitask and work cooperatively with others. Note there are duplicates: Strong organizational skills appears twice; also communication skills appears multiple times. We should preserve as given; not deduplicate unless it's boilerplate duplication? It's not boilerplate; it's in the original. We should keep them as is. Now Benefits: Why Texas A&M University? paragraph includes many benefits. We need to extract benefits list: - Medical, prescription drug, dental, vision, life and AD&D, flexible spending accounts, and long-term disability insurance with Texas A&M contributing to employee health and basic life premiums - 12-15 days of annual paid holidays - Up to eight hours of paid sick leave and at least eight hours of paid vacation each month - Automatic enrollment in the Teacher Retirement System of Texas - Health and Wellness: Free exercise programs and release time - Professional Development: All employees have access to free LinkedIn Learning training, webinars, and limited financial support to attend conferences, workshops, and more - Educational release time and tuition assistance for completing a degree while a Texas A&M employee - Living Well, a program at Texas A&M that has been built by employees, for employees Also mention: "We are a prestigious university with strong traditions, Core Values, and a community of caring and collaboration. Amenities associated with a major university, such as sporting and cultural events, state-of-the-art recreation facilities, the Bush Library and Museum, and much more await you. Experience all that a big city has to offer but with a reasonable cost-of-living and no long commutes." That's also substantive; we should include as prose maybe before list. Thus Benefits section: a

        describing the university amenities, then a

        • list of benefits. Now we must not include Pay or Schedule sections. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll structure:
