Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Keep substantive info.

We also have "Please include a resume and cover letter with your application." That's application instruction, should be removed.
Also "NOTE: The filling of all positions is subject to budget availability and/or grant funding." Might be considered boilerplate? It's about budget, maybe keep? It's not a section heading; we could fold into a short p under About the role? But it's not essential. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The note about budget availability maybe not boilerplate but could be considered legal? It's about position filling subject to budget. Might be considered boilerplate; safer to drop.
Also "New York City Residency is NOT Required * We encourage all applicants from the New York City tri-state area to apply." That's location info; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? Not a standard heading; we could embed in About the role p.
Also "AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER DOE Non- Discrimination Policy ..." That's EEO boilerplate, remove.
Also "REQUESTING AN ACCOMMODATION - APPLICANTS ..." remove.
Also "Public Service Loan Forgiveness ..." maybe keep? It's a benefit? It's about loan forgiveness programs. Could be considered a benefit. The instruction: include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. This is a benefit info. So we could include a Benefits section with that info.
Also "Salary:" we need Pay section.
Schedule: we have info about full-time in office when schools are in session, hybrid limited to school holiday breaks and summer. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
Skills: we have abilities listed under Preferred: ability to write clearly, ability to rapidly understand provisions, excellent research, analytical and communications skills, familiarity with regulations, proficiency with MS Office 365. Those are skills.
Qualifications: we have qualification requirements (bar admission, experience). Also plus additional two years relevant work experience. Also note about AL II etc. We'll put under Requirements or Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which headings to use. Likely we need About the role (position summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe qualification requirements), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we must not create sections with filler. We need to ensure each section has substantive content.
Let's map:
- About the role: position summary + key relationships + maybe location info (NYC residency not required, encourage tri-state). That's substantive.
- Responsibilities: the big list.
- Requirements: minimum qualification requirements (bar admission, experience). Could also include the note about AL II and remaining bar member. That's part of requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe the "Plus In addition to meeting the minimum requirements, individuals must have two additional years of relevant work experience." That's additional qualification. Could also be part of Requirements. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings allowed. We could put minimum under Requirements, and additional under Qualifications. Or we could combine. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section called Requirements (or Qualifications). But we have both headings allowed; we need to decide.
We have also Skills section.
Benefits: Public Service Loan Forgiveness info.
Pay: Salary range.
Schedule: full-time in office when schools in session, hybrid limited to holidays/summer.
We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specific content.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll produce something like:
