Alright, I need to rewrite the job post for the Human Sciences Research Council vacancies. Let me start by organizing the information neatly. First, I’ll separate each job listing clearly with headings and bullet points for readability.
For the Language Editors position, I’ll note the closing date, reference number, job type, and other key details. The original text mentions a freelancer role with specific requirements like a degree and editing experience. I should present these in a clear list. The duties section is a bit jumbled, so I’ll break it down into concise points.
Next, the Policy Briefs Reviewers position has similar structure. I’ll highlight the PhD requirement and experience needed. Again, breaking responsibilities into bullet points will make it easier to read.
The Project Accountant and Supervisor: Accounting roles are permanent positions. I’ll ensure all minimum requirements and responsibilities are clearly listed, emphasizing the financial and managerial aspects.
I need to maintain all essential details but present them more professionally. I’ll use simple English and avoid any technical jargon. The application links are already at the end of each section, so I’ll keep that format.
Now, for the schema markup. Each job needs to be structured with datePosted, description, hiringOrganization, jobLocation, title, and other recommended properties. I’ll create separate script tags for each position, populating all required fields based on the provided information.
I should also ensure that the HTML is clean, without unnecessary tags. The final output should start with a span tag and include all job postings in a structured manner, followed by the schema scripts.
Let me double-check that all dates are in ISO 8601 format and that the descriptions are comprehensive. For employmentType, I’ll use “FREELANCE” or “FULL_TIME” as appropriate. Since there’s no salary mentioned, I’ll omit the baseSalary property.
Finally, I’ll make sure the schema scripts are correctly placed at the end, accurately reflecting each job’s details. This should meet all the requirements and present the information in a clear, professional manner.
