Drug Discovery Scientist [Remote]

$60 - $90 per hour

AuraOne Human Data

Remote
  • Remote job

Drug Discovery Scientist is a remote clinical-review track for evaluating AI outputs that touch clinical review. Reviewers grade differential reasoning, dosing logic, and guideline adherence; flag patient-safety issues; and document the corrected clinical reasoning so the modeling team can close the gap.

Why this role matters

Clinical review AI is only useful if a credentialed clinician would sign their name to the output. AuraOne uses licensed and credentialed reviewers to set the bar for clinical reasoning, dosing, and guideline adherence in regulated workflows.

Responsibilities

  • Review AI outputs against current clinical review clinical guidelines and standard of care for Drug Discovery Scientist assignments.
  • Grade differential reasoning, dosing, and red-flag handling on a structured rubric.
  • Flag patient-safety issues with severity tags that match clinical-incident taxonomies.
  • Capture the corrected clinical reasoning so the modeling team can train on it.
  • Adjudicate disputed cases against published evidence or specialty guidelines.
  • Maintain reviewer-quality scores in weekly inter-rater calibration cycles.

Qualifications

  • Active or recent license / board certification in clinical review or an adjacent specialty for Drug Discovery Scientist work.
  • Hands-on clinical experience reading patient cases and writing structured assessments.
  • Comfort applying multi-page rubrics consistently across long batches.
  • Clear written reasoning that cites guidelines, evidence, or standard of care.
  • Reliable async availability for at least 10 hours per week.

Example tasks

  • Grade a model's differential-diagnosis reasoning on a clinical review case and write a 2-3 sentence assessment.
  • Flag a dosing miscalculation with the right severity tag and corrected dose.
  • Adjudicate a disputed case between two reviewers using current specialty guidelines.
  • Audit a 25-case batch for rubric consistency and report drift to the program lead.

Nice to have

  • Prior work as a guideline reviewer, peer reviewer, or clinical educator.
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted clinical decision support and its failure modes.
  • Bilingual clinical experience for non-English patient cases.

Skills

  • Clinical reasoning
  • Guideline review
  • Patient-safety assessment
  • Structured clinical writing
  • Clinical review
