About the Role
What if your career-long expertise in clinical trial design and regulatory science could directly shape how AI understands and reasons about clinical evidence?
We're looking for a Principal Clinical Scientist to bring senior-level rigor to one of the most consequential frontiers in modern technology: AI systems trained on clinical and biomedical data. Your expertise will help ensure that the AI models influencing the future of healthcare research are grounded in the same scientific standards expected by the FDA, EMA, and their global counterparts.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for experienced clinical scientists who want to contribute to something genuinely new — without leaving behind the discipline and precision that defines their work.
- 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 training datasets for AI systems
- Interpret and audit clinical trial results to ensure accuracy, consistency, and alignment with regulatory standards
- Evaluate AI-generated clinical analyses for scientific soundness and regulatory relevance
- Provide expert, structured feedback that directly improves how AI models reason about clinical trial data, endpoints, and outcomes
- Help establish the bar for what good clinical reasoning looks like — at the frontier of AI development
Who You Are
- Senior clinical scientist with hands-on experience designing clinical trial protocols for regulatory submission
- Deep expertise interpreting clinical data for agencies such as the FDA, EMA, or equivalent global bodies
- Strong foundation in clinical research methodology, biostatistics, translational science, or a closely related discipline
- Naturally rigorous — you hold AI-generated outputs to the same standards you'd apply in a real submission context
- Comfortable working independently in an asynchronous, remote environment
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, data quality evaluation, or AI output assessment
- Background in drug development, medical devices, or diagnostics
- Familiarity with clinical data standards such as CDISC, ICH guidelines, or GCP frameworks
Why Join Us
- Work directly on frontier AI systems with real impact on clinical and biomedical research
- Fully remote and asynchronous — work on your schedule, from anywhere
- Freelance autonomy combined with meaningful, substantive work
- Influence how AI understands, evaluates, and communicates real-world clinical evidence
- Collaborate with leading AI research teams and labs at the cutting edge of the field
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as projects evolve
