About the Role

What if your deep expertise in clinical trial design and regulatory science could directly shape how AI understands and reasons about biomedical evidence?

We're looking for a Principal Clinical Scientist to bring senior-level clinical rigor to cutting-edge AI research. In this role, you'll help ensure the clinical data powering next-generation AI systems meets the exacting standards expected in real-world regulatory submissions — and that the AI itself reasons about that data with scientific integrity.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for senior clinical professionals who want to work at the intersection of rigorous science and frontier technology.

  • 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, regulatory-grade datasets for AI training and evaluation
  • Interpret and audit clinical trial results to ensure accuracy, consistency, and alignment with regulatory standards (FDA, EMA, or equivalent)
  • Evaluate AI-generated clinical analyses for scientific soundness and regulatory relevance
  • Provide structured expert feedback that directly improves how AI models reason about clinical trial data, outcomes, and endpoints
  • Work independently and asynchronously — on your own schedule, at your own pace

Who You Are

  • Senior-level clinical scientist with hands-on experience designing clinical trial protocols for regulatory submission
  • Deep expertise interpreting clinical data in the context of major regulatory agencies (FDA, EMA, or equivalent)
  • Strong foundation in clinical research methodology, biostatistics, translational science, or a closely related discipline
  • Rigorous, detail-oriented thinker who holds AI-generated outputs to the same standards as real-world submissions
  • Clear and precise written communicator who can articulate complex scientific reasoning effectively

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience with data annotation, data quality review, or AI evaluation workflows
  • Background in pharmacovigilance, medical affairs, or clinical operations
  • Exposure to real-world evidence (RWE) or post-market clinical studies
  • Familiarity with AI tools or scientific content evaluation platforms

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems being built alongside the world's leading AI research labs
  • Shape how AI understands and evaluates real-world clinical evidence — a genuinely rare opportunity
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
  • Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, impactful scientific work
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
