Principal Clinical Scientist

Principal Clinical Scientist (AI Training) About The Role What if your years of clinical trial expertise could directly shape how AI reasons about medical evidence, regulatory submissions, and patient outcomes?

We're looking for a Principal Clinical Scientist to bring senior-level rigor to AI-driven research — ensuring the clinical data powering next-generation AI systems meets the standards you'd expect in a real-world regulatory submission.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for experienced clinical scientists who want to do meaningful work on their own terms. No AI background required — just deep expertise in clinical trial design and regulatory-grade data interpretation.
