We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the posting: It includes a description about BMS, purpose, etc. Then Position Summary, Position Responsibilities, Experience = Basic Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Compensation Overview, Benefits, How We Work, Supporting People With Disabilities, Candidate Rights, Data Protection, etc. We need to strip boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions, navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to produce sections: maybe About the role (position summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (basic qualifications), Qualifications (preferred?), Skills (maybe combine), Benefits, Pay, Schedule (if schedule info present). The posting mentions schedule? Not explicit. It mentions flexible time off, but not schedule. So we may not include Schedule unless there is specific schedule content. There's mention of "Flexible Time Off (FTO)" but that's benefit, not schedule. So we may omit Schedule.
We need to include Pay section: compensation overview includes salary range and mention of discretionary incentive cash and stock. So include Pay.
Benefits: there is a Benefits paragraph describing benefits. Include Benefits.
Skills: maybe we can extract from Preferred Qualifications: flow cytometry, biomarker assays, etc. Could put under Skills.
Qualifications: maybe combine basic and preferred? The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need Requirements (basic qualifications) and Qualifications (preferred qualifications) maybe. Or we could treat Requirements as basic qualifications, Qualifications as preferred. Skills could be derived from preferred qualifications.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info: So we need to include the position summary text, responsibilities list, basic qualifications, preferred qualifications, compensation overview, benefits description, maybe How We Work? That's not a standard heading; maybe we could put under About the role? But we should not invent headings. The instruction says use those headings only. So we should only include those headings if we have content. How We Work is not a standard heading; we could omit or incorporate into About the role? But we must preserve all substantive info; we could include it under About the role as prose. That's okay.
Similarly, Supporting People With Disabilities etc are boilerplate/EEO; we should remove.
We need to remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, EEO, scam-warning, etc.
Thus final HTML: maybe:

Requirements (Basic Qualifications): "Experience = Basic Qualifications Bachelor’s Degree7+ years of academic and / or industry experience Or Master’s Degree5+ years of academic and / or industry experience Or Ph.D. or equivalent advanced degree in the Life Sciences2+ of academic and / or industry experience"
We need to format nicely: maybe as prose.
Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications): paragraph after "Preferred Qualifications Ph.D. with post-doctoral experience and/or 1-3 years of industry experience, or BA or MA with at least 5-7 years of industry experience in drug discovery or translational research in the pharma or biotech setting.Must be highly proficient in flow cytometry and the preclinical development of human blood-based biomarker assaysExperience performing biomarker-focused laboratory work, including handling cell cultures and performing analysis of protein and DNA/RNA samples using a variety of methodologies including but not limited to MSD/ELISA, Luminex, RNAi, CRISPR, qPCR and primary cell isolation, culture and functional assays is highly desired.Experienced in the design and development of cell-based assays using various technology platforms, especially generation and characterization of patient-derived material including organoid or tumoroid cultures and ex vivo manipulation and propagation is highly valued but not requiredAbility to conduct experimental work independently, with accurate, detailed record-keeping.Ability to efficiently manage and prioritize multiple projects, coordinating in-house research with collaborative work.Ability to summarize and interpret scientific data in a clear, concise, and accurate manner.Excellent oral and written communication skills. Ability to communicate well with peers and supervisors.Strong problem-solving skills and understanding of relevant scientific principles.Ability to be flexible in case of changing priorities. We hire for skills and capabilities, not just credentials – if this role excites you, but doesn’t perfectly match your resume, we encourage you to apply anyway."
We can keep as prose or split into bullet skills.
Skills: maybe extract the skill items: flow cytometry, biomarker assays, etc. But we already have many in preferred qualifications. Could create a Skills section with bullet list of key skills: flow cytometry, biomarker assay development (ELISA, MSD, Luminex), functional genomics (CRISPR, RNAi, ORF), cell-based assay design, patient-derived models, data interpretation, communication, problem-solving, project management, flexibility.
We need to avoid duplication but it's okay.
Benefits: The Benefits paragraph: "Benefits Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plans then in effect, you may be eligible to participate in our comprehensive benefit plans – including wellbeing support, retirement and financial protection benefits, and insurance offerings (medical, dental, vision, life and disability). U.S.-based exempt employees are eligible for Flexible Time Off (FTO), which provides paid time off without a set accrual limit, subject to manager approval, along with 11 paid company holidays each year.

Eligible employees also enjoy an annual Global Shutdown between Christmas Day and New Year's Day. U.S.-based job seekers can explore full benefit offerings at https //careers.bms.com/benefits"
We need to keep that as prose.
Pay: "Compensation Overview Cambridge Crossing $142,220 - $172,340 The starting pay range(s) listed above is for full-time employees (FTE). You may also be eligible for additional discretionary incentive cash and stock opportunities. We determine starting pay thoughtfully – carefully considering the nature of the role, required skills, work location, schedule and the knowledge and experience you bring. Final compensation is guided by pay equity principles and applicable employment laws. Compensation programs are reviewed on an ongoing basis and may be adjusted over time to reflect evolving market factors, and individual, team or Company performance."
We'll keep as prose.
Schedule: Not present, so omit.
We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "How We Work", "Supporting People With Disabilities", "Candidate Rights", "Data Protection", etc. Remove them.
Also remove duplicated lines like "We are a fully integrated drug discovery..." maybe keep as part of About the role? Actually that is earlier description about the center; could be part of About the role. But we already have Position Summary; we could include that earlier descriptive paragraph as part of About the role as well. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information. So we should include the introductory paragraphs about BMS purpose, Oncology Thematic Research Center description, etc. That is substantive. So About the role could include that plus Position Summary.
Thus About the role section will contain multiple paragraphs: first the purpose-driven culture description, then the description of Oncology Thematic Research Center, then Position Summary.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading; we are not.
Now produce HTML.
Let's craft:
