About the Role

What if your expertise in clinical trial design and regulatory science could directly shape how AI understands and evaluates real-world medical evidence?

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build and train advanced AI models — and we need senior clinical scientists to ensure the clinical knowledge powering these systems meets the highest standards of scientific rigor and regulatory integrity.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background required — just deep clinical expertise and a commitment to scientific quality.

  • 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 standards
  • Provide expert, structured feedback that directly improves how AI models reason about clinical data, trial outcomes, and biomedical evidence
  • Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • Senior-level clinical scientist with hands-on experience designing trial protocols for regulatory submission
  • Deep expertise interpreting clinical data for major regulatory agencies (FDA, EMA, or equivalent)
  • Strong background in clinical research methodology, biostatistics, or translational science
  • Naturally rigorous and detail-oriented — you hold clinical data to the highest standards
  • Clear and precise written communicator, comfortable providing structured, actionable feedback

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience with data annotation, data quality frameworks, or evaluation systems
  • Familiarity with AI tools or machine learning workflows in a clinical or biomedical context
  • Background in drug development, medical devices, or health technology assessment
  • Experience working across multiple therapeutic areas or global regulatory environments

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems that are transforming clinical and biomedical research
  • Influence how AI understands, evaluates, and reasons about real-world clinical evidence
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
  • Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, expert-level work
  • Collaborate with leading AI research teams and scientists from around the world
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
