Visiting Assistant Professor

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real content. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Department: WCAS Environ Policy & Culture (maybe not needed) - Environmental Policy and Culture Program (EPC) at Northwestern University invites applications for two (2) full-time, three-year visiting assistant professorships, to begin September 1, 2027. - EPC is interdisciplinary undergraduate program with over 100 majors and minors, focusing on social scientific and humanistic approaches to environmental subjects. - Positions open in terms of period and geographic focus, but especially interested in interdisciplinary approaches to environmental decision-making and storytelling; policy and governance at local, national, and international scales; environmental economics; and environmental philosophy. Also interested in professional or applied knowledge and experience in legal studies, philosophy, economics, and geography. - VAPs will each teach five courses a year, at least three of which should be distinct classes (some classes could be taught twice in the same year). - VAPs will also be encouraged to take part in the life of the program, including attending program events, mentoring students, and other forms of community building. - Positions come with access to significant course development funding and we encourage candidates to think creatively about guest speakers, classroom technology, student experiences outside of the classroom, and other course enhancements. - Candidates should have received a PhD in a humanities or social science field or have equivalent professional experience by the position start date, and have significant experience teaching at the college level. - Application instructions (to be removed). - Salary: expected base pay range $63,000 - $68,000. This base pay range is for a nine-month academic appointment and is subject to negotiation. - Benefits: health, dental, vision, disability, life insurance; paid medical/sick and parental leave; tuition benefits for employee and dependents; pre-tax and flex spending accounts for commuting and dependent care; generous retirement savings options; wellness programs. - No schedule info given (maybe teaching load: five courses a year). Could be considered schedule? Not explicit schedule like part-time/full-time. The posting says full-time. Could include Schedule section? Might be considered "full-time". But we should only include Schedule if posting actually states it. It says "full-time". That's a schedule. So we could include Schedule: Full-time (likely academic year). However we need to avoid placeholder like "not specified". It's specified as full-time. So we can include Schedule section with

Full-time position.

Or maybe include teaching load: five courses per year. But schedule is about work schedule. We'll include Schedule: Full-time. - No explicit "Skills" section; but we could infer skills like interdisciplinary approaches, policy, governance, economics, philosophy, legal studies, etc. However we should not invent. The posting mentions interests and desired expertise. Could treat as "Qualifications" or "Requirements". We need to decide which sections to include. We have content for: - About the role: description of program, positions, start date, etc. - Responsibilities: teaching five courses a year, at least three distinct, participate in program events, mentoring, community building, course development funding usage. - Requirements: PhD in humanities or social science or equivalent professional experience; significant college-level teaching experience. - Qualifications: maybe similar to requirements; but we could combine. However we need to avoid duplication. Could put qualifications as PhD, teaching experience, etc. But we already have requirements. Maybe we can have Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred/interests). The posting mentions especially interested in interdisciplinary approaches to environmental decision-making and storytelling; policy and governance; environmental economics; environmental philosophy; professional/applied knowledge in legal studies, philosophy, economics, geography. Those could be "Preferred Qualifications" or "Skills". We could put them under Skills. - Benefits: as described. - Pay: salary range. - Schedule: full-time. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics like start date Sep 1, 2027, three-year visiting assistant professorships, two positions, etc. We need to ensure we don't lose any detail. Let's draft sections. About the role: Could include program description, positions details, start date, term, interdisciplinary focus, course development funding. Responsibilities: teaching load, distinct classes, program participation, mentoring, community building, course development funding usage. Requirements: PhD in humanities/social science or equivalent professional experience by start date; significant college-level teaching experience. Qualifications: maybe we could treat as "Preferred qualifications" but we need to avoid filler. The posting says "These positions are open in terms of period and geographic focus, but we are especially interested in interdisciplinary approaches to environmental decision-making and storytelling; policy and governance at local, national, and international scales; environmental economics; and environmental philosophy. We are also interested in professional or applied knowledge and experience in the fields of legal studies, philosophy, economics, and geography." That's more like preferred qualifications or areas of interest. We'll put under "Qualifications" maybe as bullet list. Skills: Could be same as qualifications; but we might not need both. To avoid thin sections, we could combine qualifications and skills into one section called "Qualifications and Skills". But the instruction says use headings for specific sections; we can choose to include only those with real content. We could have "Qualifications" covering both required and preferred. But we also have Requirements separate. Might be okay to have Requirements and Qualifications. But we need to avoid duplication: Requirements already includes PhD and teaching experience. Qualifications can list the preferred areas. Benefits: list. Pay: salary range. Schedule: full-time. We must not include sections with placeholder like "not specified". All good. Now produce HTML. We need to use

for section headings. Use

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

  for prose. We must not include markdown code fences. Let's craft. First, About the role: prose maybe a couple paragraphs. We'll include:

    Check that we didn't miss any substantive info: The posting also mentions "The positions come with access to significant course development funding and we encourage candidates to think creatively about guest speakers, classroom technology, student experiences outside of the classroom, and other course enhancements." That's included in responsibilities. Also "Candidates should have received a PhD in a humanities or social science field or have equivalent professional experience by the position start date, and have significant experience teaching at the college level." That's in requirements. Also "The VAPs will each teach five courses a year, at least three of which should be distinct classes (some classes could be taught twice in the same year)." Included. Also "The VAPs will also be encouraged to take part in the life of the program, including attending program events, mentoring students, and other forms of community building." Included. Also "The positions come with access to significant course development funding and we encourage candidates to think creatively about guest speakers, classroom technology, student experiences outside of the classroom, and other course enhancements." Included. Also "Candidates should have received a PhD in a humanities or social science field or have equivalent professional experience by the position start date, and have significant experience teaching at the college level." Already. Also "To apply please send a cover letter, CV, research statement, teaching statement, evidence of teaching experience, and two letters of recommendation using the link below. In order to receive full consideration, applications must be received by October 30, 2026." That's application instruction; we removed. Also "Questions can be directed to Keith Woodhouse ( keith.woodhouse@northwestern.edu )." That's contact info; maybe considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's contact. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Contact info might be considered part of application instructions? It's not explicitly listed but could be considered part of application process. Safer to remove it. The instruction says remove application instructions. Contact info is part of that. So we remove. Also "Salary The expected base pay range for this position is $63,000 - $68,000." We have. Also "Benefits At Northwestern, we are proud to provide meaningful and competitive benefits." We have. Also "Please read ALL instructions and make preparations before proceeding to the application page: ..." removed.
