Tenure Track Assistant Professor - Exercise Science and Pre-Health Professions

We need to output only HTML fragment, using

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. No headings with filler. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Position: full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor, starting August 2027. - Department: Exercise Science and Pre-Health Professions, Creighton University College of Arts and Sciences. - Teaching: foundational and advanced undergraduate courses; possible assignments: human anatomy and physiology, human pathophysiology, exercise physiology, exercise prescription, nutrition, fitness and wellness, statistics and research design. - Additional responsibilities: mentoring and advising students; providing service to department, college, university, community, profession. - Research: establish and sustain an active, independent research program that complements departmental strengths and provides opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in study design, data collection, analysis, presentation, publication. - Particularly encourage candidates whose scholarship addresses environmental physiology, thermoregulation, physiological stress responses, military or tactical populations, or related aspects of human performance and adaptation. Candidates using integrative, laboratory-based, or applied human physiology approaches especially encouraged. - Qualifications: Ph.D. in exercise science, physiology, or closely related field required by start. - Evidence of, or strong potential for, excellence in undergraduate teaching and educational innovation. - Potential to establish an active, independent, and externally visible research program involving undergraduate students. - Ability to foster student learning, development, and decision-making in support of students’ goals, success, wellness, and needs. - Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with ability to work effectively with diverse populations. - Empathy and compassion for the experiences of others. - Application instructions: submit through Interfolio; upload cover letter, CV. If selected for interview: provide original transcripts (photocopies ok initially), three letters of recommendation (at least two addressing teaching ability), statement of teaching philosophy, research statement describing plans for active research program and undergraduate student involvement, one-page statement describing potential contributions to Creighton’s mission (links). Review begins immediately and continues until filled. Contact: Dr. Christopher Johnson email; HR email for submission issues. Website link. - About Creighton: description of Jesuit tradition, mission, Omaha community, rankings, Goldwater etc. This is likely boilerplate but contains substantive info about institution; but we need to decide if we include as a section. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About Creighton" paragraph seems like general info about the university, not strictly boilerplate but could be considered part of the posting. However, we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. The "About Creighton" includes meaningful work driven by Jesuit tradition, social justice, etc. That's substantive about the institution. Should we include it? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. It does not say to remove "About the institution" text. So we should keep it. But we need to decide where to place it. Possibly under a section like "About the role" or maybe a separate section "About Creighton". However the allowed headings are limited to those list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We cannot create other headings. So we must fit content into those headings. The "About Creighton" could go under "About the role" as part of description of the role/institution. Or we could omit it if we think it's not required? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include that info somewhere. Since we cannot create a custom heading, we can put it under "About the role" as a paragraph. Now we need to decide which sections to include: - About the role: we can include description of position, department, start date, mission, etc. - Responsibilities: teaching assignments, mentoring/advising, service, research program, undergraduate involvement. - Requirements: maybe Ph.D. required, evidence of teaching excellence, potential for research program, ability to foster student learning, interpersonal skills, empathy. - Qualifications: maybe similar to requirements? The distinction is fuzzy. But we can combine. - Skills: maybe strong interpersonal and communication skills, ability to work with diverse populations, empathy. - Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not provided in posting. So we should NOT include those sections because they have no specific content. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. So we omit those. Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Possibly also "Application Instructions"? Not allowed heading; we must remove application instructions per instruction: remove application instructions. So we omit that. We need to ensure we don't repeat the job title as a heading. The page already shows it, so we don't include a heading for the title. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract details. About the role paragraph: Could include: - Full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor beginning August 2027. - Department of Exercise Science and Pre-Health Professions, Creighton University College of Arts and Sciences. - Seeking outstanding teacher-scholar committed to excellence and innovation in undergraduate education, student-centered learning, meaningful faculty mentorship. - Teach foundational and advanced undergraduate courses based on departmental needs; possible assignments: human anatomy and physiology, human pathophysiology, exercise physiology, exercise prescription, nutrition, fitness and wellness, statistics and research design. - Additional responsibilities: mentoring and advising students; providing service to department, college, university, community, profession. - Establish and sustain an active, independent research program that complements departmental strengths and provides meaningful opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in study design, data collection, analysis, presentation, publication. - Particularly encourage candidates whose scholarship addresses environmental physiology, thermoregulation, physiological stress responses, military or tactical populations, or related aspects of human performance and adaptation; candidates using integrative, laboratory-based, or applied human physiology approaches especially encouraged. - About Creighton: Jesuit tradition, social justice, innovation, Omaha community details, rankings, Goldwater etc. We need to include all that. Responsibilities: Could list teaching assignments, mentoring/advising, service, research program, undergraduate involvement. But we already covered many in About the role. To avoid duplication, we could split: About the role includes general description; Responsibilities includes specific duties (teaching, mentoring, service, research). Requirements includes qualifications (Ph.D., teaching excellence, research potential, interpersonal skills, empathy). Skills could list interpersonal/communication, ability to work with diverse populations, empathy. But we need to avoid repeating same content across sections. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; duplication is allowed if it's in the original? The original had some overlapping statements. We can try to not duplicate excessively but still include all info. Let's extract bullet points: Teaching assignments list: human anatomy and physiology, human pathophysiology, exercise physiology, exercise prescription, nutrition, fitness and wellness, statistics and research design. Mentoring/advising students. Service to department, college, university, community, profession. Research program: active, independent, complements departmental strengths, provides opportunities for undergraduates in study design, data collection, analysis, presentation, publication. Encouraged scholarship areas: environmental physiology, thermoregulation, physiological stress responses, military/tactical populations, human performance and adaptation; integrative, laboratory-based, applied human physiology. Qualifications: - Ph.D. in exercise science, physiology, or closely related field required by start. - Evidence of, or strong potential for, excellence in undergraduate teaching and educational innovation. - Potential to establish an active, independent, and externally visible research program involving undergraduate students. - Ability to foster student learning, development, and decision-making in support of students’ goals, success, wellness, and needs. - Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with ability to work effectively with diverse populations. - Empathy and compassion for the experiences of others. Application details: not needed. Now we need to format. We'll produce:

  About the role

  ... paragraphs ...

  Responsibilities

  • Teach foundational and advanced undergraduate courses, including human anatomy and physiology, human pathophysiology, exercise physiology, exercise prescription, nutrition, fitness and wellness, and statistics and research design.
  • Mentor and advise students.
  • Provide service to the department, college, university, community, and profession.
  • Establish and sustain an active, independent research program that complements departmental strengths and provides undergraduate students with opportunities to participate in study design, data collection, analysis, presentation, and publication.
  • Pursue scholarship in areas such as environmental physiology, thermoregulation, physiological stress responses, military or tactical populations, and related aspects of human performance and adaptation, using integrative, laboratory‑based, or applied human physiology approaches.

  Requirements

  • Ph.D. in exercise science, physiology, or a closely related field required by the start of the appointment.
  • Evidence of, or strong potential for, excellence in undergraduate teaching and educational innovation.
  • Potential to establish an active, independent, and externally visible research program involving undergraduate students.
  • Ability to foster student learning, development, and decision‑making in support of students’ goals, success, wellness, and needs.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with diverse populations.
  • Empathy and compassion for the experiences of others.

  Skills

  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Ability to work effectively with diverse populations.
  • Empathy and compassion.
  But note that Skills duplicates some of Requirements. Might be considered redundant. However we need to preserve all substantive info; we could combine Skills into Requirements and not have a separate Skills section. But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Having Skills separate may be thin. Better to merge Skills into Requirements or maybe not include Skills at all if it's covered. The instruction: Use headings only when posting has real, specific content for it. If we consider Skills as separate, we have content (interpersonal/communication, diverse populations, empathy). That is specific. But it's also covered in Requirements. However we could still include Skills as a separate section; it's not thin? It has three bullet points. Might be okay. But we need to avoid duplication? The instruction didn't forbid duplication, but said preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is not inventing or summarizing away; it's repeating. Might be okay but could be considered redundant. However the instruction also says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Having Skills separate may be thin relative to Requirements. Could combine. I think we can omit Skills section and include those points under Requirements. That reduces sections. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements. Check if any content about Benefits, Pay, Schedule: none, so omit. Now we need to ensure we include all substantive info from About Creighton description. Let's incorporate that into About the role paragraph. About Creighton paragraph: "At Creighton, we offer meaningful work driven by a 475-year-old Jesuit tradition committed to social justice and serving others. Through this tradition, we push the boundaries on innovation. We pursue new knowledge for the betterment of society. We seek to improve our world through Catholic and Jesuit values.
