Overview
Outlier seeks scientists and clinicians to test how AI systems handle scientific and clinical work. You will shape Linux terminal benchmark tasks around evidence review, data analysis, or a scientific workflow from your own field. The job centers on defining what counts as a sound, reproducible result and then judging model answers for scientific accuracy and clinical reasoning. The contract runs remotely and pays per task, with an expected 20 hours per week for one to six months.
What You'll Do5
- Build Linux terminal tasks that ask an AI system to interpret evidence, analyze data, or run a scientific workflow from your specialty.
- Set the criteria that decide whether an answer is scientifically valid and can be reproduced.
- Assess model solutions for factual accuracy, quality of reasoning, and fit with accepted practice in your field.
- Document mistakes, uncertain points, and the evidence that supports each judgment.
- Write task prompts and scoring notes that another expert can review and apply.
Requirements7
- You hold a completed PhD in a relevant scientific field or an MD with a clinical specialization.
- You have finished your degree program and are not enrolled in one now.
- You bring at least seven years of relevant experience, including PhD and postdoctoral work.
- Another route qualifies: at least three relevant years plus three peer-reviewed papers as first author or coauthor.
- Clinical candidates need PGY-4 status or later, or an equivalent training stage. Senior residents, fellows, and attendings qualify.
- You use a Linux terminal in practical work.
- You have at least one academic or professional publication as author or coauthor.
Who Should Apply
A PhD scientist or clinical specialist who has completed training and wants to judge AI output in their own field fits this work. You need at least seven years of relevant experience or the publication-heavy alternative, plus comfort with a Linux terminal.
