Job description

Principal Clinical Scientist (AI Training)

About The Role

What if your career-long 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 AI-driven research workflows. Your work will help ensure that the clinical data used to train and evaluate frontier AI systems meets the standards expected in real-world regulatory submissions — making AI smarter, safer, and more trustworthy in biomedical contexts.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background required — just deep clinical expertise and a sharp eye for scientific quality.

• Interpret and audit clinical trial results to ensure accuracy, consistency, and regulatory relevance
• Evaluate AI-generated clinical analyses for scientific soundness and alignment with regulatory expectations
• Provide expert, structured feedback that improves how AI models reason about clinical trial data and outcomes
• Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

• Senior-level experience designing clinical trial protocols for regulatory submission
• Deep expertise interpreting clinical data for agencies such as the FDA, EMA, or equivalent regulatory bodies
• Strong grounding in clinical research methodology, biostatistics, or translational science
• Naturally detail-oriented with a rigorous, systematic approach to evaluating scientific evidence
• Clear and precise written communicator — able to articulate complex findings in structured formats
• No prior AI or tech experience required

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality review, or evaluation systems
• Background in drug development, medical devices, or clinical operations
• Familiarity with AI tools or scientific evaluation workflows as an end user
• Experience in academic research, contract research organisations (CROs), or regulatory consulting

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems making an impact in clinical and biomedical research
• Influence how 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, expert-level work
• Collaborate with leading AI research teams and labs at the cutting edge of the field
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
