About this role

From the Mercor listing

Mercor is partnering with a biotech and pharma research team on expert human-evaluation work — creating and critiquing rubrics that analyze commercial drugs and drug-development programs. We're seeking a disease-area clinician for a paid pilot, with the potential to continue as the work scales.

Responsibilities

  • Create and critique rubrics that analyze commercial drugs and drug-development programs
  • Interpret clinical trial endpoints and judge whether results would change prescribing
  • Assess what that means for real-world uptake in your therapeutic area
  • Apply this across the pilot's set of drugs and programs

Requirements

  • US-based disease-area clinician (practising physician, MD/DO)
  • Familiarity with biotech/pharma development programs
  • Deep expertise in a specific therapeutic area
  • Board-certified and actively practising in your specialty

Engagement Details

  • Duration: Approximately 10–20 hours over a 1–2 week pilot
  • Remote — US-based

Why Participate

  • Help improve expert AI evaluation of drugs and drug-development programs
  • Recurring engagement for strong contributors

Common questions

Is Mercor for freelancers or full-time contractors?

Mercor places you with one client for a defined engagement, like 'Python Tutor for 3 months', rather than having you grab small tasks from a shared queue. Most roles function as steady contract work, not one-off gigs.

Does Mercor's application require an on-camera interview?

Yes, every applicant records a video interview with an AI interviewer that asks questions about your resume. Clients review that recording to judge communication skills before matching, so there's no way to apply without going on camera.

Why do these AI training roles pay so much?

Because general knowledge isn't what's being tested. The model already knows the basics; what it needs is expertise on edge cases, the rare, difficult, highly technical judgment calls only a senior professional in the field would make correctly.

What does the day-to-day workload look like for elite-expert AI training roles?

Slow and deep, not fast and repetitive. A single task can take 45-60 minutes of researching citations or verifying complex calculations. Quality is what's being measured here, not throughput.

What does Generalist work look like for a Disease-Area Clinician — Trial Endpoints & Prescribing?

Tasks here are scoped to Generalist, not generic labeling. As a Disease-Area Clinician — Trial Endpoints & Prescribing, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Generalist) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Generalist background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.

What specific skills does this listing call for?

Expert and AI Training are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening process to test for them directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.

How many hours per week does this role require?

Based on the listing, this role is scoped at 5–10 hours per week, over roughly a 2-week contract. Treat this as a real commitment expectation, not a loose estimate.

How much does this specific role pay?

This listing is posted at $150–$230/hr, an hourly rate. The range reflects experience level and negotiated terms, not a placeholder, so where you land in it depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.

What happens when I click Apply on this listing?

You'll be taken to Mercor's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.

How soon will I start working after applying to Mercor?

Not immediately. Mercor is a talent marketplace, not a task queue, so applying puts you in a pool of candidates. You start working only once a specific client, like a major AI lab, selects your profile, and that matching process can take weeks.
