We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the job posting. The posting includes: - Intro about Amgen mission (could be "About the role"? Actually it's about company. Could be "About the role" maybe not. The role description: "Senior Scientist, Automation and HTS Target Discovery & Biology (TD&B)" then "What You Will Do" etc. So we can have sections: About the role (maybe the mission paragraph?), Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), Requirements (Basic Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Skills (maybe combine?), Benefits (What You Can Expect Of Us includes benefits), Pay (salary range mentioned), Schedule (not mentioned). Also maybe "What We Expect Of You" includes qualifications. We must not repeat job title as heading. Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay section: posting says "The expected annual salary range for this role in the U.S. (excluding Puerto Rico) is posted. Actual salary will vary based on several factors including but not limited to, relevant skills, experience, and qualifications." That's not a specific range; it's vague. According to rule: 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. Here Pay is not specific; it's just says range is posted but not given. That's placeholder? It says "The expected annual salary range for this role in the U.S. (excluding Puerto Rico) is posted." That is vague; no actual numbers. So we should NOT create a Pay section because it's not specific. Similarly Benefits: they list benefits in detail: "Amgen Offers a Total Rewards Plan Comprising Health And Welfare Plans For Staff And Eligible Dependents, Financial Plans With Opportunities To Save Towards Retirement Or Other Goals, Work/life Balance, And Career Development Opportunities Including Comprehensive employee benefits package, including a Retirement and Savings Plan with generous company contributions, group medical, dental and vision coverage, life and disability insurance, and flexible spending accounts. A discretionary annual bonus program, or for field sales representatives, a sales-based incentive plan Stock-based long-term incentives Award-winning time-off plans and bi-annual company-wide shutdowns Flexible work models, including remote work arrangements, where possible". That's specific benefits. So we can include Benefits section. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. Now sections: - About the role: Could include the introductory mission paragraph? The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can have About the role section with description of Amgen mission and role context. That seems appropriate. - Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities bullet list. - Requirements: Basic Qualifications. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications. - Skills: maybe combine some skill statements from Requirements/Qualifications? But we already have Requirements and Qualifications; Skills could be separate if there are skill statements not covered. The posting includes "Excellent organizational and communication skills, with the ability to drive cross-site collaboration in a matrixed research environment" under Preferred Qualifications. That's a skill. Could be placed under Skills section. However we already have Qualifications (Preferred). Might be redundant. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could merge Skills into Qualifications or Requirements. But we need to follow heading list; we can omit Skills if not needed. Let's decide: We'll have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits. That's five sections. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /. Use

for each heading, then content:

for prose,

  • for lists. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to copy text exactly as given, but we can format into paragraphs and lists. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At end there is EEO statement, accommodation request, etc. Remove those. Also remove "Apply now and make a lasting impact with the Amgen team. careers.amgen.com" etc. Also "In any materials you submit, you may redact or remove age-identifying information..." etc. Also "Application deadline Amgen does not have an application deadline..." etc. Also "Sponsorship Sponsorship for this role is not guaranteed." etc. Also EEO statement. Remove all that. Now let's extract substantive content: Intro paragraph: "Join Amgens Mission of Serving Patients At Amgen, if you feel like youre part of something bigger, its because you are. Our shared missionto serve patients living with serious illnessesdrives all that we do. Since 1980, weve helped pioneer the world of biotech in our fight against the worlds toughest diseases. With our focus on four therapeutic areas Oncology, Inflammation, General Medicine, and Rare Disease we reach millions of patients each year. Amgen is advancing a broad and deep pipeline of medicines to treat cancer, heart disease, inflammatory conditions, rare diseases, and obesity and obesity-related conditions. As a member of the Amgen team, youll help make a lasting impact on the lives of patients as we research, manufacture, and deliver innovative medicines to help people live longer, fuller happier lives. Our award-winning culture is collaborative, innovative, and science based. If you have a passion for challenges and the opportunities that lay within them, youll thrive as part of the Amgen team. Join us and transform the lives of patients while transforming your career." We need to fix missing spaces? The original text has missing spaces after some words (e.g., "Amgens Mission", "missionto", "worlds toughest", etc.). We should preserve as is? Probably we should keep the text exactly as given, but we could add spaces for readability? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Adding spaces could be considered altering text. However the missing spaces are likely typos; but we should not "invent" detail; adding spaces is not inventing new info, just formatting. Might be okay. Safer to keep exactly as given, but we can keep the same string. However readability may suffer but it's okay. We'll copy the paragraph as is. Now "Senior Scientist, Automation and HTS Target Discovery & Biology (TD&B)" is the job title; we should not repeat as heading. It appears before "What You Will Do". We can include it maybe as a

    before responsibilities? The instruction: do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it). It's okay to include it in a paragraph. Now "What You Will Do" heading is not in our allowed headings; we can treat that as part of Responsibilities section. We'll put responsibilities under

    Responsibilities

    and then a
      list. Responsibilities bullet points: - Develop automation pipelines and strategies to execute functional arrayed genomic screens in high-throughput in advanced in vitro models in collaboration with therapeutic area partners. - Transfer manual protocol processes in 96w or 384w format to automation platforms. - Adapt established iPSC differentiation and long-term cell cultlure protocols to automated instruments to create batches of screen-ready cells. - Optimize high content imaging assays and image acquisition parameters, such as those required in Cell Painting experiments, using automated microscopy and image analysis software. - Identify and implement emerging technologies in robotics, automation, and high content imaging to enhance the sophistication and throughput of discovery platforms. - Foster a collaborative, creative, and scientifically rigorous team culture committed to delivering impact across Amgens pipeline. Note there is a typo "cultlure". Keep as is. Now "What We Expect Of You" includes Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. We'll split into Requirements (Basic) and Qualifications (Preferred). Basic Qualifications text: "Doctorate degree orMasters degree and 3 years of functional genomic screening experience orBachelors degree and 5 years of functional genomic screening experience". There are missing spaces. Keep as is. Preferred Qualifications text: a long paragraph with many items. We'll keep as is, maybe break into list for readability? The instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The Preferred Qualifications is a list of items separated by semicolons. We could turn into
        • each item. That would be a list, preserving detail. Let's parse: "Doctorate degree in cell biology, chemical engineering, bioengineering, biomedical engineering, or related discipline High throughput screening experience; arrayed CRISPR (KO/i/a) and perturbation screening experience preferred; experience with high content imaging screens preferred A high level of comfort working with automation instrumentation; proven track record optimizing performance of and troubleshooting such instruments Familiarity with automation scheduling software, e.g. HighRes Cellario Experience with any of the following specific platforms is highly preferred: HighRes Prime tip-based liquid handler, HighRes PreciseDrop II flying-reagent dispenser; GNF Washer-Dispenser II flying-reagent dispenser and plate washer; BlueCat BlueWasher plate washer; Beckman Coulter (Labcyte) Echo acoustic liquid handler Experience with CellTrio and/or CellXpress.ai platforms also highly preferred Familiarity with HTS metrics (e.g. Z, S/B, MSMR) Cell culture experience; iPSC experience and work in complex in vitro cellular models preferred Excellent organizational and communication skills, with the ability to drive cross-site collaboration in a matrixed research environment" We could treat each line as a list item. However some lines contain multiple items separated by semicolons. Might be okay to keep as paragraphs. But rule says use
          • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. This is a list of qualifications; we could make each bullet a qualification item. We'll split by line breaks as given. Now Benefits section: We need to capture the benefits paragraph: "Amgen Offers a Total Rewards Plan Comprising Health And Welfare Plans For Staff And Eligible Dependents, Financial Plans With Opportunities To Save Towards Retirement Or Other Goals, Work/life Balance, And Career Development Opportunities Including Comprehensive employee benefits package, including a Retirement and Savings Plan with generous company contributions, group medical, dental and vision coverage, life and disability insurance, and flexible spending accounts.A discretionary annual bonus program, or for field sales representatives, a sales-based incentive planStock-based long-term incentivesAward-winning time-off plans and bi-annual company-wide shutdownsFlexible work models, including remote work arrangements, where possible" Note missing spaces after periods. Keep as is. Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. Now construct HTML:
