Remote
Role Overview
We are seeking expert medical and health science professionals to author and review high-quality academic assessment content for an AI research initiative. You will write and verify rigorous multiple-choice questions across core health and medicine domains, evaluate solution quality, and help establish gold-standard benchmarks used to advance AI capabilities.
You will be assigned one of two task types
Question Authoring — Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions in your area of medical expertise, rate their difficulty, and submit them for review.
Question Verification — Review pre-written questions for accuracy, clarity, and rigor. Edit where needed, rate difficulty, and document any changes made.
Health & Medicine Domains Covered
Clinical Medicine & Surgery, Medical Imaging & Diagnostics, Pharmacovigilance, Healthcare Management & Economics, Rehabilitation and Allied Health.
Key Responsibilities
Author original health and medicine questions that test deep conceptual understanding, not surface-level recall
Ensure questions are unambiguous, self-contained, and precisely defined — all necessary information must be in the problem statement
Rate each question's difficulty: Medium (intro undergraduate), Hard (advanced undergraduate), or Expert (post-graduate and above)
Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives that challenge expert-level solvers
Write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions with clear, concise reasoning in markdown format
Supply 1–5 academic references per question from reputable sources (peer-reviewed journals, clinical guidelines)
For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made
Ideal Qualifications
MD, DO, PhD, or doctoral candidate in Medicine, Biomedical Sciences, Public Health, or a closely related field
Master's degree considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific subdomain
Strong command of graduate-level medical knowledge, clinical reasoning, and biomedical research methodology
Board certification, clinical experience, or research publications in health fields is a strong plus
Excellent written English and ability to express complex ideas clearly and concisely

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