Principal Clinical Scientist (AI Training) About The Role What if your years of clinical trial expertise could directly influence how AI understands and reasons about medical evidence --- at a scale that impacts millions of patients worldwide?
We're looking for a Principal Clinical Scientist to bring senior-level rigor to AI-driven research workflows. You'll work alongside world-leading AI research teams to ensure that clinical data used to train and evaluate advanced AI systems meets the scientific and regulatory standards expected in real-world submissions.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for experienced clinical scientists who want to do meaningful work 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, 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 FDA, EMA, or equivalent regulatory expectations
- Provide expert, structured feedback to improve how AI models reason about clinical trial data and real-world outcomes
- Help define the standards by which AI systems engage with clinical evidence --- shaping the field from the ground up
Who You Are
- Senior clinical scientist with hands-on experience designing 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, or translational science
- Rigorous, detail-oriented thinker who holds AI outputs to the same standards as a regulatory dossier
- Self-directed and comfortable working independently in an async, remote environment
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, data quality assurance, or evaluation systems
- Background in pharmacovigilance, post-market surveillance, or real-world evidence
- Familiarity with AI tools or clinical data platforms
- Experience in translational research or early-phase drug development
Why Join Us
- Work directly on frontier AI systems with real impact on clinical and biomedical research
- Fully remote and async --- work when and where it suits you, with no commute and no fixed schedule
- Freelance autonomy: choose your hours, control your workload, and collaborate globally
- Influence how AI understands, evaluates, and communicates real-world clinical evidence
- Contribute to work that sits at the intersection of regulatory science and cutting-edge AI
- Potential for ongoing collaboration and contract extension as new projects launch
