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
