That's specific content. So Benefits section. - Pay: The posting says "salary commensurate with qualifications." That's not specific; it's a placeholder. According to rule: 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. Since Pay is only "salary commensurate with qualifications" which is placeholder, we should NOT create a Pay section. - Schedule: Number of Months Employed Per Year: 09 Month; Work Period Time Type: Full time. That's specific: 9-month appointment, full-time. That could be considered Schedule. The rule: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Here we have specific: 9-month, full-time. So we can include Schedule section with that info. - About the role: Could be a brief paragraph summarizing the role. - Responsibilities: bullet list. - Requirements: bullet list (maybe just one item). - Qualifications: bullet list (preferred qualifications). - Benefits: bullet list. - Schedule: maybe a short paragraph. We must not include application instructions, EEO, etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like research areas, teaching pharmacology, etc. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll produce something like:

We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate. Check for any repeated lines: we omitted start date, location, etc. Should we include location? The posting includes Ames, IA. That's substantive. Should we include it in About the role? Possibly. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information. So we should include location (Ames, IA) and maybe start date (August 16, 2027). Start date is specific; we could include it in About the role or Schedule? Probably About the role. Also number of months employed per year is 09 month; we already have schedule. Could also mention start date. We should not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the start date. Let's add it. Also the Department/Program & College Description includes details about mission, teaching basic science curriculum, conducting research, educating graduate students, One Health disciplines. That's substantive. Should we include that? Possibly in About the role or a separate section? But we only have predefined headings. Could incorporate into About the role. We also have Iowa State University and Central Iowa description: R1 institution, enrollment >30k, Ames details. That's also substantive. Could include in About the role. We must not create sections like "Department Description" etc. So we fold into About the role. We need to ensure we don't miss any substantive info: research programs list, teaching pharmacology, research areas of interest, etc. Already covered. We also have "Proposed Start Date: August 16, 2027". Include. We have "Number of Months Employed Per Year: 09 Month". Already schedule. We have "Work Period Time Type: Full time". Already schedule. We have "Department Unit/Website": URLs. Should we preserve? They are substantive? Possibly but they are links. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Should we include the URLs? They are part of posting. Could include them in About the role as links. However the instruction says to output only HTML fragment; we can include tags. That's fine. We also have "More information about the university and city can be found here: https://www.provost.iastate.edu/faculty-success/prospective". Could include. We also have "Department Unit/Website: https://vetmed.iastate.edu/bms/ https://vetmed.iastate.edu/about/about-the-college/cvm-employment/". Could include. We need to decide where to put them. Could add a paragraph under About the role with links. We must not include application instructions, EEO, etc. We also have "Original Posting Date: September 3, 2026". That's metadata; maybe minor, could be folded into a short p or dropped. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a
