We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe a summary), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (licensure/education), Qualifications (maybe skills/knowledge), Skills (maybe required knowledge and skills), Benefits (none given), Pay (none given), Schedule (maybe contract length 9 months? Could be schedule). The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we need to see if we have content for Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Pay: not specified. Schedule: contract length 9 months maybe considered schedule? Could be considered schedule. But "Schedule" heading expects something like work schedule (full-time/part-time, hours). The posting mentions 0.5 FTE (half-time) and contract length 9 months. That could be schedule info. We could include a Schedule section with "0.5 FTE, 9‑month contract". That's specific. Benefits: not mentioned. Pay: not mentioned (salary schedule referenced but not actual numbers). So we omit Benefits and Pay.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So we start with maybe
