Supervisor, Research Associate - VICD

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? The posting includes description of lab, program description, key roles/responsibilities, basic qualifications, preferred qualifications, expected competencies, job requirements, job hazards, pay and benefits. Also maybe "Program Description" could be considered "About the role". We need to use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content accordingly. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes "Commitment to Non-Discrimination" which is EEO boilerplate; we should remove that. Also "Job Requirements" includes hazards etc; we can keep job hazards as part of Job Requirements? The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for: - About the role / Program Description: description of FNL, VICD, lab address etc. Could be "About the role". We'll include that. - Responsibilities: Key Roles/Responsibilities list. - Requirements: Basic Qualifications. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications maybe also Expected Competencies? Could combine. - Skills: maybe Expected Competencies. - Benefits: Pay and Benefits section includes salary range and benefits description. - Schedule: Not present; omit. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Pay and Benefits is present: includes salary range and benefits description. So we can have a Benefits section (or Pay). The instruction list includes Benefits, Pay, Schedule as possible headings. We'll use "Benefits" heading and include both description and salary range. We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, basic qualifications list, preferred qualifications list, expected competencies list, benefits list maybe. We need to use

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We must remove duplicated lines, boilerplate. Let's extract content. First, location and facility info: "Job ID: req4708 Employee Type: exempt full-time Division: Vaccine, Immunity and Cancer Directorate Facility: Frederick: ATRF Location: 8560 Progress Dr, Frederick, MD 21701 USA The Frederick National Laboratory is operated by Leidos Biomedical Research, Inc. The lab addresses some of the most urgent and intractable problems in the biomedical sciences in cancer and AIDS, drug development and first-in-human clinical trials, applications of nanotechnology in medicine, and rapid response to emerging threats of infectious diseases. Accountability, Compassion, Collaboration, Dedication, Integrity and Versatility; it's the FNL way." We can include that as part of About the role/program description. Then "Program Description The Vaccine, Immunity and Cancer Directorate (VICD) at the Frederick National Laboratory investigates immune responses to vaccines in preclinical and clinical studies. The Frederick National Laboratory (FNL) in collaboration with other stakeholders develop assays with the highest reproducibility, sensitivity, and specificity for evaluation of immune responses against viruses and vaccines in clinical trials." Then "Key Roles/Responsibilities The Vaccine, Immunity and Cancer Directorate (VICD) is recruiting for an experienced, highly motivated and innovative Lead, Research Associate III, to join a multidisciplinary team advancing cutting-edge immune monitoring, biomarker, vaccine, and cancer research. The successful candidate will work in a state-of-the-art laboratory environment equipped with advanced technologies for immune, cell-based, and molecular assay development and testing. This position provides an opportunity to contribute to the development, optimization, qualification, validation, and implementation of novel assays and emerging technologies supporting translational research, clinical studies, vaccines, immunotherapies, and cancer research. This position reports to the Scientific Manager and under the direction and guidance of the manager, the following tasks will be performed:" Then list of tasks (many). We'll put each as

• . Then "Basic Qualifications To be considered for this position, you must minimally meet the knowledge, skills, and abilities listed below:" then list. Then "Preferred Qualifications Candidates with these desired skills will be given preferential consideration:" then list. Then "EXPECTED COMPETENCIES" list. Then "Job Requirements Work may involve the use of potentially hazardous chemical or biological materials or may be located in areas where such materials are used Work may involve lifting objects not greater than 20 pounds Other job requirements are list in the Job Profile Questionnaire (JPQ) for this position JOB HAZARDS This position is subject to working with or has the potential for exposure to infectious material, requiring medical clearance and immunizations" We can combine Job Requirements and Job Hazards under a section maybe "Job Requirements" or "Requirements". But we already have Requirements for basic qualifications. Perhaps we can have a section "Job Requirements" for physical/hazard info. However instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So "Requirements" could cover both basic qualifications and job requirements? But we already have Qualifications heading for preferred qualifications? Might be confusing. Better to follow typical structure: About the role (program description), Responsibilities, Requirements (basic qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (expected competencies), Benefits (pay and benefits). Job hazards could be part of Requirements or maybe a separate section but not in list; we could include under Requirements as additional note. We must not invent sections; we can include a section only if posting has real specific content. Job hazards is specific content; we could include under Requirements as a

  after the list. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. We have pay and benefits, so we can have Benefits heading. Now produce HTML. We'll start with

  About the role

  then

  containing location, FNL description, program description. Then

  Responsibilities

  then
  • ... each task. Then

    Requirements

          Benefits

          then

          containing benefits description and salary range. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information: include location, FNL operated by Leidos, lab address, mission statement, program description, responsibilities list (all tasks), basic qualifications list (all items), preferred qualifications list (all items), expected competencies list (all items), benefits description (competitive compensation, health and wellness, income protection, paid leave, retirement) and salary range "$79,500.00 - 113,600.00 USD". Also note that the posted pay range is a general guideline etc. We should include that disclaimer as part of benefits paragraph. Also include job hazards and lifting requirement maybe under Requirements as a paragraph after list. Let's extract each list precisely. Responsibilities list (after "the following tasks will be performed:"): - Develop, optimize, qualify/validate, and implement novel immune, cell-based, and molecular assays with minimal supervision - Design and execute experiments supporting innovative assay platforms, including technologies such as: - ELISA and multiplex immunoassays - Viral neutralization and functional antibody assays - Cell-based functional and reporter assays - Mammalian cell culture - Flow cytometry and immune-cell phenotyping - Cytokine and immune-response assays - PCR/qPCR and other nucleic-acid-based assays - Molecular and biomarker assays - Transcriptomics and sequencing - Emerging high-throughput and multiplex technologies - Carry out experimental design and troubleshooting independently, in consultation with manager - Evaluate and integrate novel assay technologies, advanced instrumentation, automation, robotics, and laboratory software to improve assay performance, throughput, reproducibility, and data quality. - Prepare manuscripts, reports and scientific presentations - Ensure laboratory procedures and testing are compliant with internal requirements, such as GCLP and quality system, as necessary - Assist in evaluating, analyzing, compiling data, and present findings at meetings - Responsible for routine QC/QA procedures, ordering supplies, and maintaining inventory for the studies - Perform literatures searches and reviews that will contribute to the development of new assays - Write SOPs, protocols, manuscripts for publications - Perform other duties as assigned Note there is a nested list under "Design and execute experiments supporting innovative assay platforms, including technologies such as:" which includes bullet points. We'll flatten them as separate

        • items? Could keep as sublist but instruction says use
          • for any list. We can have nested
            inside
            • . That's okay. We'll produce:
            • Design and execute experiments supporting innovative assay platforms, including technologies such as:
              • ELISA and multiplex immunoassays
              • Viral neutralization and functional antibody assays
