We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: headings using for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "To Apply:" etc. Also remove contact info? Probably contact is part of application instructions, so remove. Also remove pre-employment checks? Might be considered boilerplate? It's part of recruitment process but maybe not essential? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Pre-employment checks might be considered part of recruitment process but not exactly legal boilerplate; but it's still part of application process. Safer to remove it. Also remove "Contact:" line. Also remove "Please note applications sent directly..." etc. Also remove EEO statement at end? It's EEO boilerplate, remove. Also remove "UNSW provides workplace adjustments..." maybe part of benefits? Could be considered benefits but it's generic. Might keep as part of Benefits? But it's generic; maybe keep if it's substantive? It's about disability adjustments; could be considered benefits. However the instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. The disability adjustments is specific enough? Might be okay. But we also have Benefits And Culture section already with bullet list. We could incorporate that into Benefits section.
We need to extract substantive content:

About the role
This job is based in Australia. A great next step after your PhD – apply your statistical expertise to a wide variety of real-world research problems and build your project experience. Varied and interesting work – contribute to diverse research projects across UNSW, working with researchers from different disciplines and tackling a broad range of applied statistical challenges. Collaborative team + publication opportunities – join a friendly, supportive team while contributing to research that can lead to publications. Stats Central is a team of nine statisticians and two bioinformaticians offering UNSW researchers support and training in study design and analysis, as part of the university’s 2025 Strategy. It is based in the Mark Wainwright Analytical Centre in the Division of Research and Enterprise, a centralised unit that manages major research infrastructure at UNSW and provides relevant technical and consulting expertise.
Responsibilities
- Provide advice on or lead study design, analysis, and communication of results in a cross-disciplinary context on research contracts with partners around the university.
- Apply statistical expertise to a wide variety of real-world research problems and build project experience.
- Contribute to diverse research projects across UNSW, working with researchers from different disciplines and tackling a broad range of applied statistical challenges.

- Ability to meet project requirements and deadlines at a high level with minimal supervision.

- Understanding of and commitment to UNSW’s aims, objectives and values in action, together with relevant policies and guidelines.
- Knowledge of health & safety (psychosocial and physical) responsibilities and commitment to attending relevant health and safety training.
Benefits
- Flexible working arrangements and support for work‑life balance.
- 17% superannuation contributions, annual leave‑loading payments and salary sacrifice option.
- Discounts and entitlements (retail, education, fitness passport).
- Affordable on‑campus parking.
Pay
$95,036 – $126,711 + 17% super (minimum $118,467 with PhD).
Schedule
12‑month fixed term contract at UNSW Kensington, full‑time (35 hours per week).
Check for any duplicated content: We included "Flexible working arrangements and are committed to supporting work-life balance while delivering meaningful outcomes." We simplified to "Flexible working arrangements and support for work‑life balance." That's okay but we might lose "while delivering meaningful outcomes." Could keep original phrase. Let's keep original: "Flexible working arrangements and are committed to supporting work-life balance while delivering meaningful outcomes." That's a bit awkward but okay.
Also "17% superannuation contributions, annual leave-loading payments and salary sacrifice option" we have.
"Discounts and entitlements (retail, education, fitness passport)" good.
"Affordable on-campus parking."
Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "UNSW isn’t like other places..." etc. That was in About UNSW paragraph; we omitted that because it's generic boilerplate about UNSW. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About UNSW" paragraph is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered generic marketing; but it's substantive? It describes UNSW's ranking etc. Might be considered not essential to role. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "About UNSW" paragraph is substantive about the employer. Should we keep? It might be considered relevant. However we already have a section About the role; we could incorporate some of that into About the role. The paragraph: "UNSW isn’t like other places you’ve worked. We are a large organisation with a diverse and highly talented community doing extraordinary work. We are driven to be thoughtful, practical and purposeful in all we do, and this collective approach is what gives our work impact. It is also why UNSW is consistently ranked among the world’s top 20 universities in the QS World University Rankings and is a proud member of Australia’s prestigious Group of Eight. If you’re seeking a career where you can thrive, be challenged and contribute to meaningful work, you’re in the right place."
That's generic fluff but still about employer. Could be considered boilerplate? It's not legal/EEO but it's promotional. The instruction didn't explicitly forbid
