The listing, marked up

Nothing in the wording of this listing tripped a check. The scores above still judge how complete and coherent it is.

We are seeking a self-motivated and collaborative individual to join our Rock Mechanics and Geomechanics Engineering team as a Postdoctoral Research Associate. This role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to an externally funded research project addressing key challenges in subsurface engineering and sustainable energy development. You will be based in the Department of Civil Engineering and Management at The University of Manchester…

How this was produced

Highlights are found by rule, not by a model: each one is a phrase matched at a known position, and every note is a template we wrote. The two scores come from a typed-decision model (Jev) that reads the listing against the official role definition and real listings for the same role, and returns probabilities rather than prose — it never writes any of the words on this page, and never chooses what to highlight.

Deterministic penalty applied to the HR score: 16 points (from 46 before penalties). Reviewed 28 Sep 2026.
