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 AI-driven research workflows. Your work will help ensure that the clinical data used to train and evaluate frontier AI systems meets the standards expected in real-world regulatory submissions — making AI smarter, safer, and more trustworthy in biomedical contexts.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background required — just deep clinical expertise and a sharp eye for 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 regulatory expectations
- Provide expert, structured feedback that improves how AI models reason about clinical trial data and outcomes
- 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 the FDA, EMA, or equivalent regulatory bodies
- Strong grounding in clinical research methodology, biostatistics, or translational science
- Naturally detail-oriented with a rigorous, systematic approach to evaluating scientific evidence
- Clear and precise written communicator — able to articulate complex findings in structured formats
- No prior AI or tech experience required
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, data quality review, or evaluation systems
- Background in drug development, medical devices, or clinical operations
- Familiarity with AI tools or scientific evaluation workflows as an end user
- Experience in academic research, contract research organisations (CROs), or regulatory consulting
Why Join Us
- Work directly on frontier AI systems making an impact in 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 labs at the cutting edge of the field
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
