We are looking for oncologists based in the United States with hands-on clinical practice experience. 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.

Contract and Payment Terms

• You will be engaged as an independent contractor.
• This is a fully remote role that can be completed on your own schedule.
• Projects can be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance.
• Your work at Mercor will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
• Payments are weekly on Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.
• Please note: We are unable to support H1-B or STEM OPT candidates at this time.

• 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.

You are a strong fit for this project if you meet most or all of the following:

• MD or DO who is currently pursuing or has completed a fellowship in medical oncology or hematology/oncology.

• Currently practicing in the United States and seeing oncology patients, or has done so within the past three years (3+ years of post-residency experience strongly preferred).

• Ability to articulate clinical reasoning clearly and precisely in written form.

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
