About the Role

What if your deep expertise in clinical trial design and regulatory science could directly shape how AI understands and evaluates real-world medical evidence? We're looking for a Principal Clinical Scientist to bring senior-level clinical rigor into cutting-edge AI research workflows — ensuring the AI systems influencing the future of medicine are built on scientifically sound, regulator-ready foundations.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role designed for experienced clinical scientists who want to do meaningful work at the frontier of biomedical AI — on their own terms.

  • 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-grade datasets for AI training and evaluation
  • Interpret and audit clinical trial results to ensure accuracy, consistency, and alignment with regulatory standards
  • Evaluate AI-generated clinical analyses for scientific soundness and adherence to regulatory expectations (FDA, EMA, or equivalent)
  • Provide structured expert feedback that directly improves how AI models reason about clinical trial data, endpoints, and outcomes
  • Help define the standard of scientific quality for clinical content used in frontier AI systems

Who You Are

  • Senior clinical scientist with hands-on experience designing clinical trial protocols for regulatory submission
  • Deep familiarity with interpreting clinical data for regulatory agencies such as the FDA, EMA, or equivalent bodies
  • Strong grounding in clinical research methodology, biostatistics, or translational science
  • Meticulous and systematic — you hold clinical data to the highest standard of rigor
  • Comfortable working independently and delivering structured, high-quality written evaluations

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience with data annotation, data quality assurance, or AI evaluation systems
  • Background in pharmacovigilance, clinical operations, or medical affairs
  • Familiarity with AI tools or how machine learning models are trained and assessed

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems that are reshaping clinical and biomedical research
  • Influence how the next generation of 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, high-stakes scientific work
  • Collaborate with world-leading AI research teams and labs
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
