Special Operations Operational Psychologist (AFSOC GSU/Southern Pines, NC)
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. No filler.
We need to extract content: Title line is not heading. Then "THIS POSITION OFFERS RELOCATION TO SOUTHERN PINES, NC." That's a statement; could be part of About the role.
Then "A career at KBR can change the world — and change your life. If you’re ready, let’s get started." That's generic fluff but maybe part of About the role.
Then "The Special Operations Operational Psychologist shall provide technical expertise, guidance, and direct services in the areas of clinical and operational psychology to SOF. In concert with an existing active duty Operational Psychologist, or independently if no such active duty psychologist is available, the OP shall develop, plan and initiate unit level resiliency programs for preventing and treating behavioral health issues to support all aspects of service member readiness and resilience." That's description.
Then "Essential Duties & Responsibilities" heading in original; we need to map to Responsibilities
and list duties as - .
Then after duties list, there is "Required Education/Experience/Skills/Training" which includes many requirements. We can split into sections: Requirements (maybe education/clearance), Qualifications (maybe license, certifications), Skills (maybe computer literacy, communication). But we need to avoid thin sections; we can combine into Requirements and Qualifications and Skills as appropriate.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must remove boilerplate: equal opportunity, etc. Also remove "Standard Company Requirements" maybe part of Requirements? It includes safety, quality, attendance, training. Could be part of Requirements.
"Desired Education/Experience/Skills/Training" is optional; we could include as a subsection maybe under Requirements? But we should only include if there is real specific content. It says "Experience working with physicians providing medical psychological services is desired". That's specific; we could include under Requirements or Desired? There's no Desired heading in allowed list; we could put under Requirements or Qualifications. Probably include as part of Requirements.
"Belong, Connect and Grow at KBR" is fluff; could be part of About the role? It's generic but maybe we can include as part of About the role? It's not boilerplate but it's marketing. Might be okay to include as part of About the role.
We must not include sections like Benefits, Pay, Schedule unless posting actually states them. There's no mention of benefits, pay, schedule. So we omit those sections.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills.
Now we need to extract content for each.
About the role: combine the introductory sentences: "THIS POSITION OFFERS RELOCATION TO SOUTHERN PINES, NC. A career at KBR can change the world — and change your life. If you’re ready, let’s get started. The Special Operations Operational Psychologist shall provide technical expertise, guidance, and direct services in the areas of clinical and operational psychology to SOF. In concert with an existing active duty Operational Psychologist, or independently if no such active duty psychologist is available, the OP shall develop, plan and initiate unit level resiliency programs for preventing and treating behavioral health issues to support all aspects of service member readiness and resilience."
We can keep that as a
.
Responsibilities: list from "Essential Duties & Responsibilities" bullet points (though they are sentences separated by periods). We need to convert each duty into
- . Let's parse:
- Provide technical expertise, consultation, and direct support in the areas of assessment and selection of personnel, operational support, individual/team/organizational assessment and performance enhancement, executive coaching and leadership development, research, conduct advanced training designed to maximize performance and resilience of SOF personnel to accomplish mission objectives in potentially time-constrained, high-stakes, ambiguous and hostile operating environments, and the provision of psychological services to unit members.
- Conduct, administer, and interpret a full spectrum of psychological assessment measures and consult with command personnel; manage relevant process improvement, program validation, and related research; develop and manage appropriate personnel selection records and filing systems.
- Conduct baseline and post-event neuropsychological screening and will collect/analyze data and monitor trends in psychological health as directed.
- Responsible for management of referrals and disposition of referrals for behavioral health care.
- Provide professional development and awareness education to leadership and SOF personnel as requested.
- Provide crisis response and follow-up care in the event of unit casualties or other serious incidents.
- Primary supporter of the assessment and selection of incoming personnel and provide feedback to unit leadership on suitability of personnel to serve within certain military organizations or positions.
- Ability to manage relevant process improvements, program validations, and related research.
- Mastery of psychological assessment, behavioral health, behavioral research, and familiarity with organizational effectiveness literature, operational psychology, performance enhancement and training, industrial/organizational psychology, and social and operational psychology.
We could combine some but keep as separate
- .
Now Requirements: includes clearance, education, internship/residency, post-doctoral experience, clinical competency, licensure, BCLS certification, credentialing, computer literacy, professional standards/ethics, communication skills, one year experience in performance enhancement or executive coaching, training in critical incident/stress trauma interventions, physical demands, SERE orientation, post-doctoral training qualifying as Aerospace Psychologist (for AFSOC). Also "Standard Company Requirements": safety, health, environmental plan, quality assurance, regular attendance, complete training, other assignments.
We need to decide what goes into Requirements vs Qualifications vs Skills.
Typically: Requirements = education, experience, clearance, licensure. Qualifications = certifications, specific trainings. Skills = abilities like computer literacy, communication, etc.
But we can just put all in Requirements and Qualifications and Skills as appropriate.
Let's define:
Requirements (
Requirements
): includes clearance, education (PhD/PsyD, APA accredited, internship/residency), post-doctoral experience (2 years), clinical competency, licensure (active unrestricted license), BCLS certification, credentialing maintenance, computer literacy, professional standards/ethics, communication skills, one year experience in performance enhancement/executive coaching, training in critical incident/stress trauma interventions, physical demands (hike, long hours, austere), SERE orientation/willingness, aerospace psychologist training (if applicable). Also standard company requirements (safety, health, environmental, quality assurance, attendance, training). We'll list as - .
Qualifications (
Qualifications
): maybe includes desired experience working with physicians providing medical psychological services (desired). Also maybe mastery of psychological assessment etc? But that is more skill. We'll keep qualifications as the desired experience.
Skills (Skills
): includes mastery of psychological assessment, behavioral health, etc; familiarity with organizational effectiveness literature, operational psychology, performance enhancement and training, I/O psychology, social and operational psychology; ability to manage process improvements; ability to conduct research; ability to develop programs; ability to provide counseling; ability to do neuropsych screening; ability to manage referrals; ability to provide crisis response; ability to provide education; ability to do executive coaching; ability to work in austere environments; ability to hike; ability to work long irregular hours; ability to function in austere environments; ability to meet physical demands; ability to maintain credentialing; ability to operate PC with psychological test software, word processing, database/spreadsheet; basic typing; oral/written communication; etc.
But we need to avoid too many sections; maybe combine Qualifications and Skills into Requirements? However instructions: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (which includes education, experience, clearance, licensure, certifications, skills, etc). That might be enough. But they asked to use headings for those categories if content exists. We could include only About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements. That would be three sections. That satisfies "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We'll not create Qualifications or Skills unless needed. We can embed all other details into Requirements.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements.
Now we need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now produce HTML fragment:
