Principal Clinical Scientist

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 frontier AI research — ensuring the models influencing biomedical science are grounded in real-world regulatory standards.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for experienced clinical scientists who want to contribute to something genuinely new. No AI background required — just deep command of clinical trial methodology and regulatory data interpretation.

• 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 for accuracy, consistency, and regulatory relevance
• Evaluate AI-generated clinical analyses for scientific soundness and alignment with regulatory expectations (FDA, EMA, or equivalent)
• Provide expert feedback that directly shapes how AI models reason about clinical trial data, outcomes, and methodology
• Help define standards for how cutting-edge AI systems engage with biomedical and clinical research evidence

Who You Are

• Senior clinical scientist with hands-on experience designing protocols for regulatory submission
• Deep expertise interpreting clinical data for regulatory agencies such as FDA, EMA, or equivalent bodies
• Strong command of clinical research methodology, biostatistics, or translational science
• Naturally rigorous — you hold your work to the standard that real submissions demand
• Detail-oriented and able to clearly communicate complex scientific reasoning in writing
• Comfortable working independently and asynchronously

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality review, or evaluation systems
• Background in pharmacology, epidemiology, or health technology assessment
• Familiarity with AI tools or data-driven research platforms

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems with real impact on clinical and biomedical research
• Influence how AI understands, evaluates, and communicates real-world clinical evidence
• Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, from anywhere
• Freelance autonomy with the substance of meaningful, expert-level work
• Collaborate with world-leading AI research teams and labs
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
