About this role
Role Overview
Apply your clinical publications expertise to help develop advanced AI-assisted tools for medical and scientific writing. You will provide high-quality, real-world input that helps AI systems learn, reason, and perform in scientific publishing contexts. Prior AI experience is not required.
Key Responsibilities
- Author and review realistic evaluation tasks based on peer-reviewed manuscripts, scientific abstracts, conference posters, and presentation decks.
- Assess whether AI-generated draft sections meet publisher formatting standards, journal requirements, and publication ethics guidance, including ICMJE, GPP, CONSORT, STROBE, and other relevant EQUATOR Network guidelines.
- Evaluate scientific accuracy in manuscripts, abstracts, and discussion sections, separating errors in clinical interpretation or medical reasoning from stylistic or editorial preferences.
- Verify publication claims against source materials, including Clinical Study Reports, protocols, and Tables, Figures, and Listings.
- Provide clear, structured written rationales that support diagnosis and improvement of AI behavior.
- Work with project leads to refine evaluation criteria and document best practices for scientific publishing workflows.
Qualifications
- At least 5 years of dedicated medical or scientific publication authoring experience with a sponsor, CRO, medical communications agency, or as an independent consultant.
- Direct experience leading or managing peer-reviewed manuscripts published in reputable biomedical or clinical journals.
- Strong knowledge of medical writing, peer-reviewed manuscript preparation, journal submission workflows, copyright compliance, and publication guidelines including ICMJE, GPP3/GPP2022, and CONSORT.
- Ability to interpret complex clinical data, including Tables, Figures, and Listings and statistical analysis plans, and convert findings into clear, publication-ready scientific narratives.
- Exceptional written communication, attention to detail, critical thinking, collaboration skills, and the ability to provide actionable structured feedback on scientific drafts.
- Advanced degree in life sciences, pharmacy, or medicine, such as PhD, PharmD, MD, or MSc, or equivalent depth of publication-authoring experience.
- Experience across multiple clinical phases and therapeutic areas, including oncology, immunology, or rare diseases.
Work Terms
- Remote independent-contractor engagement.
Compensation
