About the Role

What if your deep expertise in clinical trial design and regulatory science could directly shape how AI understands and reasons about biomedical evidence? We're looking for a Principal Clinical Scientist to bring senior-level rigor to AI-driven research workflows — ensuring the clinical data powering next-generation AI systems meets the standards expected in real-world regulatory submissions.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for experienced clinical scientists who want to work at the cutting edge of AI without leaving their field behind.

  • 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 and evaluation
  • Interpret and audit clinical trial results to ensure accuracy, consistency, and regulatory relevance
  • Evaluate AI-generated clinical analyses for scientific soundness and alignment with FDA, EMA, or equivalent regulatory expectations
  • Provide expert feedback that directly improves how AI models reason about clinical trial data, endpoints, and outcomes
  • Help set the standard for how clinical evidence is structured, assessed, and applied within frontier AI systems

Who You Are

  • Senior-level clinical scientist with substantial experience designing trial protocols for regulatory submission
  • Deep expertise interpreting clinical data for major regulatory agencies (FDA, EMA, or equivalent)
  • Strong grounding in clinical research methodology, biostatistics, or translational science
  • Rigorous and detail-oriented — you can spot a flawed endpoint or a data inconsistency that others would miss
  • Comfortable working independently and asynchronously in a remote, task-based environment

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience with data annotation, data quality review, or AI evaluation workflows
  • Background in pharmacology, epidemiology, or medical writing
  • Familiarity with AI tools or research platforms as an end user

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems that are reshaping clinical and biomedical research
  • Fully remote and flexible — structure your hours around your life
  • Freelance autonomy with the substance of genuinely meaningful, expert-level work
  • Influence how AI understands, evaluates, and communicates real-world clinical evidence at scale
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
