Psychiatrist
Listing checked October 24, 2026 · pay as published by Mercor
Overview
Mercor partners with a leading AI lab to test health models before they reach clinicians and patients, and this role puts a practicing psychiatrist at the center of that review. You read de-identified patient charts, then judge how well AI answers hold up against current standards of care in psychiatry. Each judgment needs a written rationale covering clinical rigor, completeness, and clarity. The work runs remote on flexible part-time hours, with an immediate start once credential checks clear.

- 2Compare two candidate answers to the same question and pick the stronger one, backed by the patient chart.
- 3Write structured rationales that explain your reasoning on clinical rigor, completeness, and clarity.
- 4Read de-identified patient records and check each AI answer against the documented history, symptoms, and treatment.

You join a three-week review push starting this month, judging how models answer psychiatric cases and where their clinical reasoning breaks down. Diagnostic accuracy, psychopharmacology, and risk assessment all come under your scrutiny, and your written critique tells labs exactly what a licensed psychiatrist would do in the same situation. Some reviewers also draft realistic clinical vignettes with model reference answers. Work runs fully async with hours you set around your own clinical schedule.

Every rationale you write on clinical rigor, completeness, and clarity feeds directly into how these health models get better. Hours are flexible and part-time, the work happens remotely, and the start date is immediate.
Mercor

The work is part-time at 20 or more hours each week and runs for six weeks, with an immediate start. Candidates need an MD or DO, an active unrestricted US license, completed residency, and a current patient-facing practice.

Expect a credential check covering license status, board certification, training, and current practice setting before onboarding wraps up.
AfterQuery
VerifiedClinical Psychologist AI Reviewer
AfterQuery builds the evaluation data that frontier AI labs rely on to test how their models respond to mental health situations. The company needs licensed psychologists for a three-week review project that starts this month. You read how AI models answer clinical psychology prompts and judge the reasoning, the ethics and the risk handling behind each reply. When an answer misses the mark, you name the gap and describe what a licensed clinician would have said instead. Some reviewers also draft realistic case vignettes with reference responses attached.
