  • Write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions with clear, concise reasoning in markdown format.
  • Supply 1–5 academic references per question from reputable sources like peer-reviewed journals and university repositories.
  • For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made.

Qualifications

Must-Have

  • PhD or doctoral candidate in Philosophy or a closely related field.
  • Master's degree considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific subdomain.
  • Strong command of philosophical argumentation, formal logic, and canonical texts across traditions.

Preferred

  • Research publications or teaching experience in philosophy is a strong plus.
