Posted by the FREE value-added recruitment advertising agency je-0920545620b245c892c5fe38858da837 We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should drop the "To apply, please complete the online application..." lines, also drop the link and EEO etc. Also drop "Open Date", "Close Date", maybe those are metadata but could be considered minor metadata; we can fold into a short

or drop. The instruction says: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph with metadata like Open Date, Full/Part Time, etc. Or we could drop them. Probably better to include a short

with that info. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have a heading for the job title. We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content for About the role (description of position, program, tenure-track, etc). Responsibilities (job duties). Requirements (required qualifications). Qualifications (preferred qualifications). Skills (maybe from preferred qualifications like interpersonal skills, critical thinking, etc). Benefits (benefits summary). Pay (not mentioned, so we should NOT include Pay section). Schedule (maybe Full/Part Time: Full Time indicates schedule; we could include Schedule section with that info). However we must only include a section when posting has real, specific content for it. Pay: none, so omit. Schedule: we have Full/Part Time: Full Time. That's specific enough. Could also include Open Date etc but schedule is about full/part time. We'll include Schedule section with that. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. 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; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details but can format as lists. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft. First, maybe a short metadata paragraph: could include Open Date, Full/Part Time, etc. But we already have Schedule section for full/part time. Open Date maybe not needed. Could include in a

  before sections. But instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." So we can include a short

  with metadata like Open Date: 09/16/2026; Position: Full Time; etc. Let's include a

  with: Open Date: September 16, 2026; Employment type: Full Time; Position open until filled. Now sections.
