About the Role

What if your expertise in clinical trial design and regulatory science could directly influence how AI reasons about medicine, evidence, and patient outcomes? We're looking for a Principal Clinical Scientist to bring senior-level clinical expertise into the heart of cutting-edge AI development — ensuring that the systems shaping the future of biomedical research are grounded in real-world scientific rigor.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for experienced clinical scientists who want to do meaningful work at the intersection of medicine and artificial intelligence.

  • 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-ready datasets for AI training and evaluation
  • Interpret and audit clinical trial results, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and alignment with regulatory standards
  • Evaluate AI-generated clinical analyses for scientific soundness and adherence to FDA, EMA, or equivalent regulatory expectations
  • Provide expert, structured feedback that directly improves how AI models understand and reason about clinical trial data and outcomes
  • Help bridge the gap between frontier AI systems and the rigorous standards of real-world clinical research

Who You Are

  • Senior-level clinical scientist with hands-on experience designing clinical trial protocols for regulatory submission
  • Deep expertise interpreting clinical data for major regulatory agencies — FDA, EMA, or equivalent
  • Strong foundation in clinical research methodology, biostatistics, translational science, or a closely related discipline
  • Naturally detail-oriented with a systematic, methodical approach to evaluating complex scientific information
  • Comfortable working independently and asynchronously in a remote environment

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience with data annotation, data quality assurance, or AI evaluation workflows
  • Background in pharmacology, medical writing, or clinical affairs
  • Familiarity with AI tools or content evaluation platforms

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems that are reshaping clinical and biomedical research
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
  • Freelance autonomy with meaningful, high-impact task-based work
  • Influence how AI understands, evaluates, and communicates real-world clinical evidence
  • Collaborate with world-leading AI research teams and labs
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
