micro1 is contracting clinicians who treat adolescent eating disorders to write structured evaluations of complex case material used to train and benchmark AI systems. The work is remote and asynchronous, with observed rates of $45–95/hr and first tasks typically starting within 24–48 hours of onboarding.

What the work involves

You will be handed adolescent eating disorder case material — presentations, vitals, weight trajectories, screening scores, family and social context — and asked to produce written clinical evaluations that a model can learn from. In practice that means characterising the presentation against DSM-5, deciding whether the case meets criteria for urgent medical escalation under a framework such as MEED, judging whether a proposed treatment modality (FBT, CBT-E, day patient, inpatient stabilisation) fits the adolescent's clinical stage, and flagging comorbidities and safeguarding concerns that change the risk picture. A second strand of the work is critique: reading an AI-generated or peer-written assessment and identifying where it under-calls bradycardia, over-relies on BMI, misses ARFID or atypical anorexia, or gives advice a non-specialist could act on unsafely.

Writing quality matters as much as clinical accuracy. Your output is read by non-specialists and consumed as training signal, so an evaluation that says "escalate" without stating the physiological threshold that triggered it is close to useless. Expect to justify each judgment against a named guideline or parameter.

What the platform screens for

Recency of adolescent caseload. Reviewers want people who have managed real adolescent ED patients within roughly the past two years, not historical exposure.
Instrument fluency under follow-up. EDE-Q, SCOFF, MEED risk parameters — screeners probe whether you know what these tools actually measure and where they fail (SCOFF's poor performance in adolescents and in males, EDE-Q norms, MEED's shift away from BMI-centric thresholds).
Calibration, not caution. Marking every case high-risk scores no better than marking none. Graders look at whether your escalation threshold matches guidance.
Written English at C1–C2 level. Evaluations are the deliverable; unclear prose is a fail regardless of clinical strength.
Licence in good standing and willingness to state jurisdiction and registration details.

Logistics

Fully remote, contractor basis, asynchronous. Tasks are claimed from a queue rather than scheduled, so hours are flexible, but micro1 states it fills roles within 48 hours and expects first tasks within 24–48 hours of onboarding — availability is genuinely part of the assessment. Most contributors work in blocks of a few hours; volume varies with client demand and is not guaranteed. The $45–95/hr band is what has been observed on this listing and typically tracks seniority, specialist training (formal FBT or CBT-E certification), and calibration performance on early tasks. No prior AI experience is expected or required.

What they look for

Clinical experience with adolescent eating disorder caseloads (3–5+ years post-qualification)
Active clinical licence or registration in good standing
Applied fluency with DSM-5 ED criteria, EDE-Q and SCOFF
Medical risk assessment using MEED or equivalent frameworks
Working knowledge of FBT and CBT-E indications and staging
Written English at native or C1–C2 equivalent standard

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: Whether your clinical exposure to adolescent ED is current and hands-on rather than supervisory, historical, or adult-only.
A strong answer: Name the service type (community CAMHS ED team, paediatric ward, day programme, private practice), an honest patient volume, the age range, and the month or year your last direct adolescent ED contact occurred.
Where people lose it: Blurring adult ED experience into adolescent experience, or describing a role that was teaching, research, or supervision without saying so — follow-ups will ask who held clinical responsibility, and the inconsistency shows.
