Physician - Hematology and Oncology - Physician - Hematology Oncology

# Role Overview

Mercor is collaborating with a leading AI research lab on a project to advance frontier medical problem-solving in oncology. We are looking for actively practicing oncologists based in the United States with hands-on experience in clinical trials. The goal of this project is to identify gaps in AI model reasoning around real-world oncology cases, particularly in clinical trial design, patient eligibility, and treatment decision-making, and to support the training of cutting-edge AI models.
This is a short-term, high-impact, remote opportunity for oncologists excited about applying their clinical expertise to frontier AI research, with the possibility of extension based on performance.
# Key Responsibilities

Create realistic, nuanced oncology tasks and scenarios, particularly around clinical trials, that expose weaknesses in frontier AI model responses
Evaluate AI-generated clinical reasoning for accuracy, completeness, and alignment with current standard-of-care guidelines
Identify flawed logic, missed diagnoses, incomplete treatment rationale, or unsafe recommendations in model outputs
Provide clear, well-structured expert responses and chain-of-thought reasoning that reflect real clinical decision-making
Maintain high standards of clinical rigor and accuracy throughout all contributions
