About the Role

What if your deep 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 cutting-edge AI research workflows. You'll work alongside world-leading AI labs to ensure that clinical data used to train and evaluate advanced AI systems meets the exacting standards expected in real-world regulatory submissions — FDA, EMA, and beyond.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for experienced clinical scientists who want to apply their expertise in a high-impact, forward-looking environment.

  • Organization: Alignerr

  • Interpret and audit clinical trial results to ensure accuracy, consistency, and alignment with regulatory standards
  • Evaluate AI-generated clinical analyses for scientific soundness and regulatory relevance
  • Provide expert, structured feedback that directly improves how AI models reason about clinical trial data, outcomes, and evidence
  • Help establish the quality bar for clinical content used across frontier AI research projects

Who You Are

  • Senior clinical scientist with hands-on experience designing clinical trial protocols intended for regulatory submission
  • Deep expertise interpreting clinical data for agencies such as the FDA, EMA, or equivalent bodies
  • Strong grounding in clinical research methodology, biostatistics, translational science, or a closely related discipline
  • Naturally rigorous and detail-oriented — you hold clinical data to the highest standards
  • Comfortable working independently and delivering structured, high-quality feedback in a remote environment

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience with data annotation, data quality frameworks, or AI evaluation systems

  • Familiarity with AI tools or content evaluation platforms

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems making a real impact on clinical and biomedical research
  • Influence how AI understands, evaluates, and communicates real-world clinical evidence at scale
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
  • Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, expert-level project work
  • Collaborate with leading AI research teams on some of the most ambitious AI projects in existence
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
