Remote Clinical Publications Author — AI Research & Domain Evaluation

ZR Talent Group has an active remote opening for a Remote Clinical Publications Author — AI Research & Domain Evaluation ($50 - $80/hour). This flexible work-from-home role pairs experienced practitioners in medical writing, scientific publication authoring, peer-reviewed manuscript preparation, publication guidelines (icmje, gpp3/gpp2022, consort) with leading machine learning laboratories to author high-difficulty prompts, verify factual and technical rigor, and refine multi-step reasoning outputs.

Prior experience building machine learning systems is not required—our research partners value authentic practitioner judgment, domain rigor, and clear analytical writing.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables

• Task Authoring & Review: Author and review realistic evaluation tasks based on peer-reviewed journal manuscripts, scientific abstracts, conference posters, and presentation decks to inform AI tool development.
• Structural & Formatting Assessment: Apply expert judgment to assess whether model-generated draft sections align with publisher formatting standards, journal guidelines, and international publication ethics (such as ICMJE, GPP, and relevant EQUATOR Network reporting guidelines like CONSORT or STROBE).
• Scientific Accuracy & Interpretation: Evaluate scientific accuracy in manuscripts, abstracts, and discussion sections, distinguishing true errors in data interpretation or medical reasoning from stylistic or editorial preferences.
• Data Verification: Trace publication claims and narratives directly to source records—such as Clinical Study Reports (CSRs), protocols, and Tables, Figures, and Listings (TFLs)—to verify that all statements are accurately grounded in data.
• Structured Feedback: Provide clear and structured written rationales for each assessment, enabling precise diagnosis and improvement of AI model behavior.
• Framework Refinement: Collaborate with project leads to refine evaluation criteria and document best practices for scientific publishing workflows within AI development environments.

Required Qualifications & Technical Criteria

• Demonstrated professional or advanced academic background in medical writing, scientific publication authoring, peer-reviewed manuscript preparation, publication guidelines (icmje, gpp3/gpp2022, consort).

• Direct experience lead-authoring or managing peer-reviewed manuscripts published in reputable biomedical or clinical journals.
• Strong working knowledge of publication guidelines (ICMJE, GPP3/GPP2022, CONSORT), copyright compliance, and journal submission workflows.
• Demonstrated capability to interpret complex clinical data (TFLs, statistical analysis plans) and translate them into clear, publication-ready scientific narratives.
• Exceptional written communication skills, with a proven track record of providing actionable, structured feedback on scientific draft materials.
• Advanced degree in life sciences, pharmacy, or medicine (PhD, PharmD, MD, MSc) or equivalent depth of authoring experience.
