Workload: 10–20 hrs/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: Medical

Evaluate and compare AI-generated answers to challenging clinical and biomedical prompts, with attention to accuracy, safety, evidence, and medical reasoning. The work includes written evaluation rationales, onboarding, and specialty calibration for 10–20 hours per week.

The work

You will review two AI-generated responses to the same medical prompt, inspect the reasoning provided in the input files, and decide which response is stronger. Each judgment requires a clear written explanation grounded in clinical accuracy, patient safety, current guidelines, evidence quality, and realistic medical decision-making.

What Mercor screens for

The screening is likely to test whether you can substantiate your clinical or biomedical background, identify subtle reasoning and safety failures, and defend a preference between two imperfect answers. Strong candidates can distinguish a clinically meaningful error from a stylistic weakness, handle uncertainty, and explain how current evidence or guidelines affect an evaluation.

Practical details

The expected workload is 10–20 hours per week, with onboarding and specialty calibration sessions included. The role starts immediately, and applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. The listing does not specify whether the work is remote or fully asynchronous.

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: This verifies the candidate's qualifying pathway, recency of experience, specialty context, and direct responsibility for clinical practice, research, or biomedical decisions.
A strong answer: Give dates, role titles, practice or research settings, specialty focus, and concrete responsibilities. Clarify which decisions you made personally and which were supervised or collaborative.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by naming a degree or employer without establishing at least two years of relevant professional work or explaining what their role involved.
