Responsibilities

• Engage the model with religious or historical scenarios, analytical and interpretive questions, and cultural context tasks.
• Evaluate accuracy, neutrality, and logical consistency of model responses.
• Document failure modes, capturing reproducible error traces, and provide structured feedback to refine prompts, evaluation frameworks, and reasoning quality.
• Identify oversimplifications, misinterpretations of texts, or inaccurate historical or cultural information.

Qualifications

• Background in religious studies, theology, history, anthropology, or an adjacent humanities field (degree preferred but not required).
• Knowledge of world religions, theology, religious history, philosophy of religion, comparative religion, sacred texts, and cultural or anthropological perspectives on belief systems.
• Strong metacognitive communication skills, articulating reasoning and interpretive steps (“showing your work”).
• Entry‑level candidates with relevant coursework, independent study, teaching experience, or significant personal interest in religion and cultural studies are encouraged.
