Teaching Assistant Professor of Early Childhood Education
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Position Title: Teaching Assistant Professor of Early Childhood Education (but we should NOT repeat job title as heading). So we don't output a heading for title.
- Job Category: Academic Staff
- Employment Type: Regular
- Job Profile: Teaching Assistant Professor
- Job Duties: description paragraphs.
- Key Job Responsibilities: bullet list? Actually it's a paragraph with multiple sentences each starting with "Contributes...". Could treat as list.
- Department: description.
- Compensation: includes salary info: starting salary at least $56,000, commensurate with education/experience, relocation assistance may be available, benefits package for eligible UW employees.
- Required Qualifications: list.
- Preferred Qualifications: list.
- How To Apply: application instructions (should be removed per instructions: remove application instructions). So we should drop that section.
- Contact Information: also likely boilerplate; we should drop? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Contact info maybe considered part of application instructions? It's not exactly application instructions but could be considered contact. However they said to remove application instructions. Contact info may be considered part of that. Safer to drop contact info and special notes etc.
- Special Notes: includes mission statement etc. Might be considered boilerplate? Not exactly EEO but could be considered generic. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The special notes about mission, safety, Clery, etc. Might be considered legal boilerplate. Probably drop.
Thus we keep: About the role (maybe from Job Duties paragraph), Responsibilities (Key Job Responsibilities), Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications?), Skills? Could combine Required and Preferred as Requirements and Qualifications. Benefits: we have benefits package mention. Pay: we have salary info. Schedule: we have academic year (9-month) maybe schedule.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does state salary: starting salary at least $56,000 and commensurate with education... The phrase "commensurate with..." is considered filler? It says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", ...). That suggests we should not include a Pay section if the only content is "commensurate with experience". But we have also a concrete number: at least $56,000. So we can include Pay section with that detail. However we must avoid filler like "commensurate with the candidate’s education, related experience, and qualifications." That is somewhat filler but we can keep the concrete number and maybe mention that salary is commensurate with qualifications. The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", ...). It might be interpreted as: if the only thing you would put under Pay is "commensurate with experience" (i.e., vague), then don't create the section. But we have a specific number, so it's okay.
Similarly Benefits: we have "Eligible Universities of Wisconsin employees receive an excellent benefits package. To learn more about the benefits package, review the Universities of Wisconsin Employee Benefits Quick Guide." That's somewhat vague but we can include Benefits section with that statement.
Schedule: we have "full-time, salaried, exempt, academic year (9-month), instructional academic staff position." So schedule: academic year (9-month). That's specific enough.
Now we need to decide headings: About the role (maybe from Job Duties). Responsibilities (Key Job Responsibilities). Requirements (Required Qualifications). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Benefits. Pay. Schedule.
We should not include Skills unless there is explicit skills list; we have communication skills etc inside qualifications. Could treat as part of qualifications.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
Thus for About the role: we have a paragraph describing duties. We'll output
with that prose.
For Responsibilities: we have a list of bullet-like sentences. We'll make
- each sentence.
For Requirements: list of required qualifications (each line). Use
- .
For Qualifications (preferred): list.
For Benefits: we have a sentence about benefits package. Could be
.
For Pay: we have sentence about salary. Could be
.
For Schedule: we have sentence about academic year (9-month). Could be
.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Also not include Job ID etc.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the sections we keep.
Let's extract the exact text.
Job Duties paragraph:
"The Teaching Assistant Professor of Early Childhood Education contributes to the preparation of future educators by delivering high-quality instruction in early childhood education at the undergraduate and graduate levels. This position plays a key role in ensuring program excellence and student success through teaching, supervision, and engagement in professional development and service.

We should keep that as prose.

Our goal is to have positive impacts on Wisconsin schools and learners through supportive collaboration, innovation, and professional development."
We could include this as About the role? Actually About the role could be combination of Job Duties and Department description. But we already have Job Duties as About the role. Department description maybe could be part of About the role as well. However we might create a separate section "Department" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we could embed department description in About the role paragraph.
Thus About the role: combine Job Duties + Department description.
We need to ensure we don't lose any substantive info. So we will merge them into one
maybe two paragraphs? Could be two
elements under the heading? The instruction: Use
for section headings, - for any list, and
for prose. So we can have multiple
under a heading.
Thus:
About the role
Job duties paragraph.
Department paragraph.
Now Responsibilities heading with .
Requirements heading with for required qualifications.
Qualifications heading with for preferred qualifications.
Benefits heading: we have benefits statement. Also mention relocation assistance may be available. That's part of Compensation section actually. The compensation paragraph includes: "Well-qualified candidates can expect a starting salary of at least $56,000 and commensurate with the candidate’s education, related experience, and qualifications. Relocation assistance may be available. Eligible Universities of Wisconsin employees receive an excellent benefits package. To learn more about the benefits package, review the Universities of Wisconsin Employee Benefits Quick Guide . Use the Health & Retirement Contributions Estimator to calculate the estimated value of your compensation and benefits."
Thus we have Pay (salary), Benefits (benefits package), and maybe also relocation assistance (could be part of Pay or Benefits). We'll put relocation assistance under Benefits maybe.
Thus Benefits heading: Eligible Universities of Wisconsin employees receive an excellent benefits package. To learn more about the benefits package, review the Universities of Wisconsin Employee Benefits Quick Guide. Use the Health & Retirement Contributions Estimator to calculate the estimated value of your compensation and benefits. Relocation assistance may be available.
Pay heading: Well-qualified candidates can expect a starting salary of at least $56,000 and commensurate with the candidate’s education, related experience, and qualifications.
Schedule heading: The Teaching Assistant Professor of Early Education is a full-time, salaried, exempt, academic year (9-month), instructional academic staff position.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience" alone; we have a concrete number.
Now check for any duplicated lines: we should not repeat.
Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed those.
Now output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft.
Be careful with apostrophes and quotes: use straight quotes.
We'll output:
