We need to decide which sections have content. - About the role: Could include description of position, appointment start date, overview of department, location, etc. - Responsibilities: Conducting University Orchestra, teaching Instrumental Conducting and other courses, developing creative activity, service, recruiting, collaborations, vision, relationships with public schools. - Requirements: Master's degree required, professional experience expected, doctorate or 3+ years teaching preferred, administrative skills, promise for scholarly/creative achievement, commitment to advancing profession, legal authorization to work in US, budget contingency. - Qualifications: Conducting abilities at highest artistic standard, successful track record as orchestra director (preferably collegiate), comprehensive knowledge of standard and contemporary orchestral repertoire, proven rehearsal techniques, excellent pedagogical skills, vision for future, leader in recruiting, maintain relationships with public schools. - Skills: Could overlap with qualifications; but we can separate: Conducting, teaching, administrative, scholarly/creative, guest conducting, etc. Might be redundant. Perhaps we can combine qualifications and skills. But we need to follow instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine some. We have Benefits and Pay definitely. Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info (like part-time/full-time, term). So we should NOT include Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We could also include "Application Process" but not in list; we should not create extra headings. We need to use

for each section heading. Then content: use

for prose,

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like start date, department size, degrees offered, location, etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't put "Tenure-Track Faculty Position" as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions? Actually we need to preserve application instructions? The instruction says: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove application instructions (like cover letter, CV, etc.)? Wait, they say remove application instructions. That seems contradictory to preserving all substantive information. But they explicitly say remove application instructions. So we should omit the details about cover letter, CV, video links, transcripts, references, review date, submission system. However, we need to consider if those are considered "application instructions". Likely yes. So we should drop that paragraph. But we must preserve all substantive information; but they say remove application instructions. So we follow instruction: remove that part. Similarly, we should remove benefits link? The benefits info includes a link for more detailed information; we can keep the benefit description but maybe drop the link? The instruction says remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The link is not boilerplate; it's a reference. Might keep. Similarly, salary link maybe keep. We also need to remove duplicated lines: there may be repeated sentences.
