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 AI-driven research — ensuring the clinical data powering next-generation AI systems meets the standards you'd expect in a real-world regulatory submission.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for experienced clinical scientists who want to do meaningful work on their own terms. No AI background required — just deep expertise in clinical trial design and regulatory-grade data interpretation.
- 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 regulatory expectations (FDA, EMA, or equivalent)
- Provide expert feedback that directly shapes how AI models reason about clinical trial data, endpoints, and outcomes
- Help establish quality standards for how AI understands and evaluates real-world clinical evidence
- Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule
Who You Are
- Senior-level experience designing clinical trial protocols for regulatory submission
- Deep expertise interpreting clinical data for agencies such as FDA, EMA, or equivalent regulatory bodies
- Strong command of clinical research methodology, biostatistics, or translational science
- Naturally rigorous and detail-oriented — you hold clinical data to a high standard
- Comfortable working independently and delivering structured, well-reasoned expert feedback
- No prior AI or tech experience required
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, data quality assessment, or evaluation systems
- Background in pharmacology, epidemiology, or health outcomes research
- Familiarity with AI tools or clinical informatics platforms as an end user
- Experience working across multiple therapeutic areas or regulatory jurisdictions
Why Join Us
- Work directly on frontier AI systems shaping the future of clinical and biomedical research
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, expert-level work
- Influence how AI understands, evaluates, and communicates real-world clinical evidence at scale
- Collaborate with leading AI research teams and labs on the cutting edge of the field
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
