The job description

About the Role

What if your deep expertise in clinical trial design and regulatory science could directly influence how AI understands and evaluates real-world medical evidence? We're looking for a Principal Clinical Scientist to bring senior-level rigor to frontier AI research — helping ensure that the clinical intelligence built into next-generation AI systems meets the standards expected in real regulatory submissions.

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

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 alignment with regulatory expectations
Evaluate AI-generated clinical analyses for scientific soundness and methodological rigor
Provide expert, structured feedback that directly improves how AI models reason about clinical trial data, endpoints, and outcomes
Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

Senior-level experience designing clinical trial protocols intended for regulatory submission
Deep expertise interpreting clinical data for agencies such as the FDA, EMA, or equivalent international bodies
Strong grounding in clinical research methodology, biostatistics, or translational science
Naturally detail-oriented with a systematic, evidence-driven approach to evaluation
Clear and precise written communicator — able to articulate complex scientific reasoning in structured feedback

Nice to Have

Prior experience with data annotation, data quality assurance, or evaluation systems
Familiarity with AI tools or clinical informatics platforms
Background in pharmacology, oncology, rare disease, or another specialist therapeutic area
Experience contributing to regulatory dossiers, CTD submissions, or scientific advisory processes

Why Join Us

Work directly on frontier AI systems impacting clinical and biomedical research at a global scale
Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based expert work
Influence how AI understands, evaluates, and reasons about real-world clinical evidence
Collaborate with world-leading AI research teams and labs
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
