We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to extract content. From posting: - About The Role: includes Level C ($155k - $178k) plus 17% Superannuation and annual leave loading; Fixed Term – 2.5 years; Full-time (35 hours per week). That's Pay, Schedule, Benefits? Actually Pay: Level C ($155k - $178k) plus 17% Superannuation and annual leave loading. Benefits: maybe superannuation and annual leave loading? Could treat as Benefits. Schedule: Full-time (35 hours per week). Fixed Term – 2.5 years maybe also schedule? But schedule is about hours per week; term length maybe not schedule but could be included in schedule? The instruction: include Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. So we have Pay: salary range. Benefits: superannuation and annual leave loading. Schedule: Full-time (35 hours per week) and Fixed Term – 2.5 years (maybe schedule includes term). We'll include schedule with both. - About The Role also includes description of role: lead social science expertise etc. That's likely "About the role" section. - Specific Responsibilities For This Role Include: list of responsibilities. That's Responsibilities. - About The Successful Applicant (Selection Criteria): list of criteria. That could be Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to split appropriately. The instruction: use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what goes where. Usually Requirements = mandatory criteria, Qualifications = education/experience, Skills = abilities. We can parse: PhD in a related discipline, and/or relevant work experience in policy advisory positions... That's qualifications. Demonstratable experience in one or more of the following areas... That's requirements? Could be requirements. Ability to independently lead... etc. That's skills. We'll try to map. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. At end there is diversity statement etc - remove. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all bullet points from responsibilities and selection criteria. We'll create sections:

About the role

... (the paragraph describing role, maybe combine the first paragraph after "About The Role" up to before Specific Responsibilities). The posting includes: "About The Role Level C ($155k - $178k) plus 17% Superannuation and annual leave loadingFixed Term – 2.5 yearsFull-time (35 hours per week) Specific Responsibilities For This Role Include". Actually the text is messy. We'll extract: The role description: "The Senior Research Fellow – Social Science Specialist in the Centre for Sustainable Development Reform (CSDR) is expected to lead, with Director oversight, the research effort of the CSDR through identifying opportunities to integrate social and equity considerations across the research portfolio, while developing their research expertise through the pursuit of defined projects relevant to their particular field. The CSDR team is made up of multi-disciplinary focussed researchers who are working on topics at the intersections of economics, politics, law, environmental management, data science and development. The Senior Research Fellow leads the development of robust social accounting frameworks and works to understand how bespoke surveys, standardised data sets, advanced quantitative analysis, and qualitative data can inform government policy and decision making in the marine environment, while building capacity among national statistical offices and government agencies to implement these frameworks for developing an equitable and sustainable ocean economy. This role also works with coastal communities and governments to shape development planning through the application of frameworks such as social accounts which document livelihood dependencies, stewardship contributions, and traditional knowledge and make visible the importance of nature to people." That's the role description. Then after that we have "About The Role Level C ($155k - $178k) plus 17% Superannuation and annual leave loadingFixed Term – 2.5 yearsFull-time (35 hours per week)". Actually that seems like a heading but we treat as Pay/Benefits/Schedule. We'll put About the role paragraph as above. Then Responsibilities: list from "Specific Responsibilities For This Role Include" onward until before "About The Successful Applicant". We'll capture each bullet as

  • . Then Benefits: superannuation and annual leave loading. Pay: salary range. Schedule: Full-time (35 hours per week) and Fixed Term – 2.5 years. Qualifications: PhD in a related discipline, and/or relevant work experience in policy advisory positions including for government, consultancies, or in applied research. Requirements: Demonstratable experience in one or more of the following areas (list). We'll list those bullet points. Skills: Ability to independently lead a significant area of work..., Demonstrated ability to lead teams..., Established reputation..., Proven commitment..., High level communication skills..., Demonstrated ability to work in a team..., Evidence of highly developed interpersonal..., Experience working in varied cultural contexts..., Demonstrated experience in working in developing countries..., Evidence of an ability to raise funds..., Understanding of and commitment to UNSW’s aims..., Knowledge of health and safety responsibilities... We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We'll output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. We need to be careful to not duplicate content. We'll include all bullet points. Let's list responsibilities bullet points: - Lead social science expertise as a senior team member and project leader in collaborative interdisciplinary research concerning topics: sustainable development of the ocean economy and ocean-based sectors, social accounting, sustainable development policy and practise partnerships with Pacific Islands countries and beyond, design of legislative and policy enabling frameworks for Beyond GDP development, sustainable development of natural capital and ecosystem services. - Provide strategic leadership for the social accounting research program within CSDR, including setting methodological standards for the Global Ocean Accounts Partnership. - Lead the design, testing, and refinement of social accounting methodologies for ocean accounts, including the development of indicators, data collection protocols, and analytical frameworks that can be adapted across diverse cultural and institutional contexts. - Collaborate with colleagues across all relevant projects within the CSDR to support the broad spectrum of work being undertaken. This role will focus on the integration of social and equity considerations across the breadth of the research portfolio of the CSDR. - Disseminate findings to create scholarly impact which is globally and locally recognised by peers through academic journal articles, conferences and presentations, and publicly accessible knowledge products that advance the utilisation of disciplinary knowledge. - Represent the CSDR as a recognised expert in social accounting for ocean economies at national and international forums, serving on expert panels, advisory committees, and editorial boards. - Make independent contributions to research that have a significant impact in their field of expertise and create a nationally recognised research track record. - Undertake independent research in discipline or related area (as per the norms of the discipline), making an independent contribution through professional practice and expertise. - Develop research groups in area of specialist expertise and research methods that are appropriate to the discipline, including developing independent research proposals which can include the growth of a team of social scientists working across the three pillars of the CSDR’s work. - Responsible for a small group of researchers, with the ability to motivate and deliver through the team and be accountable for their performance. - Contribute to the general growth of the CSDR through the development of government and donor relations; fundraising, grant application preparation and competitive funding applications under the guidance of senior colleagues.

Now selection criteria bullet points (under About The Successful Applicant). We'll split. First line: "To Be Successful In This Role You Will Have A PhD in a related discipline, and/or relevant work experience in policy advisory positions including for government, consultancies, or in applied research." That's qualifications.
