How to Monitor (Complete Workflow)

SECTION A: JOBS

Navigate to /it/cerca-selezioni (or filtered URLs above) and extract job postings from the page. Each posting follows this pattern in the accessibility tree:

- article:
    - text: Data pubblicazione bando DD.MM.YYYY
    - text: ID Bando: NNN/YYYY
    - heading "Title" [ref=eXX] [level=3]:
      - link "Title" [ref=eXX]: - /url: "/it/assegni-di-ricerca-e-selezioni-incarichi-esterni/..."
    - text: Termine presentazione domanda DD.MM.YYYY

Extract: publication date, ID, title, application deadline, and permalink.

SECTION B: COURSES / EDUCATION — DEADLINES

Bachelor/Master Admission (from /it/entrare-al-sant-anna)

- heading "Bando del Concorso di Ammissione YYYY/YYYY"

URL Construction

Notes and Pitfalls

• The website is Drupal-based with server-side rendering — no JavaScript execution needed for content
• Cookie banner present on most pages — ignore it
• PhD call URL changes yearly but /it/formazione/bando-phd always points to the current one
• Bachelor/Master admission PDF URLs change annually
• Always compare with previous check to detect new postings or changes
• Individual pages for future Seasonal School courses (April-July) may not be published yet — check periodically
