We need to output 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. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Preserve all substantive info. No invented or summarized away detail. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting mentions benefits: "Our total rewards package includes the benefits you’d expect from a top healthcare organization (benefits, insurance, etc.), plus: 100% paid medical premiums for our full-time employees Generous time off (holidays, preventative leave day, both vacation and sick time – all of which equates to around 37-38 days per year) The longer you stay, the more vacation you’ll accrue! Longevity Pay (Monthly payments after two years of service) Build your future with our awesome retirement/pension plan! ... Free financial and legal counseling Free mental health counseling services Gym membership discounts and access to wellness programs Other employee discounts including entertainment, car rentals, cell phones, etc. Resources for child and elder care Plus many more!" So we have benefits content. Pay? Not explicitly stated salary. No pay amount. So we should NOT create Pay section because no specific pay. Schedule? Part-time mentioned in title: "Senior Research Associate (Part-time)". So schedule info: part-time. That is specific. So we can include Schedule section with part-time. Also maybe mention location: Houston, TX 77030. Could be part of About the role? Probably include location in About the role paragraph.
We need sections: About the role (summary of role), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe education/experience?), Qualifications (maybe certification/skills?), Skills (maybe specialized knowledge?), Benefits (list), Schedule (part-time). We must not duplicate content. Let's parse the posting.
