About the Role
What if your years of clinical trial expertise could directly shape how AI reasons about medical evidence, regulatory submissions, and patient outcomes? We're looking for a Principal Clinical Scientist to bring senior-level rigor to frontier AI research — ensuring the clinical data that trains and evaluates next-generation AI systems meets the standards expected in real-world regulatory environments.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role designed for experienced clinical scientists who want to contribute to something genuinely new. You don't need an AI background — just deep expertise in clinical trial design, regulatory data interpretation, and the scientific standards that matter most.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design and review clinical trial protocols used to generate high-quality, regulator-ready datasets for AI training
- Interpret and audit clinical trial results to ensure accuracy, consistency, and regulatory relevance
- Evaluate AI-generated clinical analyses for scientific soundness and alignment with FDA, EMA, or equivalent regulatory expectations
- Provide expert feedback that directly improves how AI models reason about clinical trial data, endpoints, and outcomes
- Help set the standard for how clinical rigor is applied across AI-driven biomedical research workflows
Who You Are
- Senior-level experience designing clinical trial protocols for regulatory submission
- Deep expertise interpreting clinical data for agencies such as the FDA, EMA, or international equivalents
- Strong command of clinical research methodology, biostatistics, or translational science
- Comfortable working independently and asynchronously — you know how to manage your own time and deliver high-quality work without hand-holding
- Sharp written communicator who can translate complex regulatory reasoning into clear, structured feedback
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, data quality review, or AI evaluation workflows
- Background in pharmacovigilance, outcomes research, or evidence synthesis
- Familiarity with AI tools or clinical decision support systems as an end user
Why Join Us
- Work directly on frontier AI systems shaping the future of clinical and biomedical research
- Fully remote and flexible — structure your hours around your life, not the other way around
- Freelance autonomy with the substance of meaningful, expert-level work
- Influence how AI understands, evaluates, and reasons about real-world clinical evidence at scale
- Collaborate with world-leading AI research teams on problems that genuinely matter
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
