(voluntary survey) - Accessibility Statement: ... - Job Segment: Genetics, Molecular Biology, Biology, Scientific, Science, Engineering We need to remove boilerplate: navigation, cookie, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions? Actually we must remove application instructions? The instruction says: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the Application Procedure section? It says remove application instructions. So we should not include the application procedure details. However we need to preserve all substantive information; but application instructions are considered boilerplate to remove. So we should omit that. Also remove Diversity Statement and Accessibility Statement? Those are EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. Likely remove them. Also remove Job Segment? Might be considered metadata but not boilerplate; it's a list of job categories. Could be considered part of posting but not required heading. The instruction says we should include sections only when posting has real specific content for it. Job Segment could be considered a list of skills? Might be placed under Skills? But we have a Skills section; we could put those as skills list. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have: - About the role: could include course description, position details (sessional lecturer for second half, dates, TA support, enrolment, class schedule). Could be a prose paragraph. - Responsibilities: from Description Of Duties. - Requirements: maybe qualifications (advanced degree, teaching experience, concepts, databases). Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction includes both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We need to decide which to use. Probably combine qualifications into Requirements or Qualifications. Since both are allowed, we could have Requirements for mandatory qualifications (degree, experience) and Skills for specific knowledge (concepts, databases). But we need to avoid thin sections. Could have Requirements (degree + teaching experience) and Skills (concepts, databases). Or just have Qualifications covering all. - Benefits: Not explicitly stated besides vacation pay included in salary. No separate benefits like health, etc. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not mention benefits beyond vacation pay included in salary. So omit Benefits. - Pay: Salary info is present. So include Pay section. - Schedule: Class schedule and sessional dates, time commitment. So include Schedule. We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". We have specific numbers. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include course description, etc. Let's structure:

    About the role

    ... combine course description, position details: It's a two-term graduate course offered within MHSc Medical Genomics program, restricted to students in that program. Goal: bring students to common knowledge base and introduce advanced concepts including quantitative trait genetics and epigenetics. Students learn human genetics from phenotype/clinical presentation toward genotype, focus on molecular genetics and underlying mechanisms of human disease. Fundamental course provides knowledge framework for entire program and introduces key concepts examined in detail in subsequent courses. The sessional position is for the second half of the two-term course (spring semester). Estimated TA support: 30 TA hours. Estimated course enrolment: 15-20. Class schedule: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Sessional dates of appointment: January to April 2027.

    That seems good.

    Responsibilities

    • Deliver twice-weekly three-hour lecture & discussion sessions (Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:00am‑12:00pm) for the spring semester.
    • Prepare lectures using existing lecture content and assignments.
    • Answer student questions during sessions.
    • Facilitate discussion or group work (remaining time after 1‑2 hour lecture).
    • Attend all sessions.
    • Work with guidance and support of the fall‑term professor who previously taught the course.
    • Leverage support of a teaching assistant.
    • Make minimal modifications to existing syllabus, slides, assignments, answer keys/rubrics as needed.
    That captures duties.

    Requirements

    • Advanced degree (MD or PhD) in genetics, genomics, molecular biology, or a related field.
    • Previous teaching experience at the university level.

    Skills

    • Expertise in Advanced Human Genetics concepts: Mendelian and complex inheritance patterns, risk assessment, GWAS, epigenetics & epigenomics, pharmacogenetics, cancer genetics/genomics.
    • Acquaintance with major genetic and genomic databases: UCSC Genome Browser, OMIM, ClinVar, CIViC, TCAG, COSMIC, and others.

    Pay

    Salary (per term): $19,994.95 for Sessional Lecturer I; $21,398.43 for Sessional Lecturer I Long Term; $21,398.43 for Sessional Lecturer II; $21,907.92 for Sessional Lecturer III, inclusive of vacation pay. Note: rates stipulated in the collective agreement prevail if they differ from those stated.

    Schedule

    Class meetings: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Sessional appointment: January to April 2027. Estimated time commitment: 12‑15 hours per week.

    We should not include any other sections like Benefits. Check for any duplicated lines: we removed application procedure, diversity, accessibility, job segment, etc. Check that we preserved all substantive info: course description, position details, TA support, enrolment, schedule, duties, qualifications, skills, pay, schedule. Also we kept note about collective agreement. We kept note about preference for Sessional Lecturer II/III? That is a preference in hiring; is that substantive? It's part of posting. Should we include it? It's not covered in sections. Could be placed under Requirements or maybe a note. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should include that preference note somewhere. Where? Could be under Requirements as an additional bullet: "Preference in hiring is given to qualified individuals advanced to the rank of Sessional Lecturer II or Sessional Lecturer III (per Article 14:12 of the CUPE 3902 Unit 3 collective agreement)." That is substantive. Also we should include note about tentative announcements pending final course determinations and enrolment. That's also substantive. Could be added under About the role or a separate note. Might be better to add a short paragraph under About the role: "Note: This announcement
