Clinical Publications Author

$50–$80/h

Remote

Role overview

Role Title: Clinical Publications Author

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote


micro1 is engaging Clinical Publications Authors to participate in a customer’s project focused on developing advanced AI-assisted tools for medical and scientific writing. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.


Scope of Work

  1. Task Authoring & Review: Author and review realistic evaluation tasks based on peer-reviewed journal manuscripts, scientific abstracts, conference posters, and presentation decks to inform AI tool development.
  2. Structural & Formatting Assessment: Apply expert judgment to assess whether AI-generated draft sections align with publisher formatting standards, journal guidelines, and international publication ethics (such as ICMJE, GPP, and relevant EQUATOR Network reporting guidelines like CONSORT or STROBE).
  3. Scientific Accuracy & Interpretation: Evaluate scientific accuracy in manuscripts, abstracts, and discussion sections, distinguishing true errors in data interpretation or medical reasoning from stylistic or editorial preferences.
  4. Data Verification: Trace publication claims and narratives directly to source records—such as Clinical Study Reports (CSRs), protocols, and Tables, Figures, and Listings (TFLs)—to verify that all statements are accurately grounded in data.
  5. Structured Feedback: Provide clear and structured written rationales for each assessment, enabling precise diagnosis and improvement of AI model behavior.
  6. Framework Refinement: Collaborate with project leads to refine evaluation criteria and document best practices for scientific publishing workflows within AI development environments.


Preferred Qualifications

  1. Minimum 5 years of dedicated medical/scientific publication authoring experience within a sponsor, CRO, MedComms agency, or as an independent consultant.
  2. Direct experience lead-authoring or managing peer-reviewed manuscripts published in reputable biomedical or clinical journals.
  3. Strong working knowledge of publication guidelines (ICMJE, GPP3/GPP2022, CONSORT), copyright compliance, and journal submission workflows.
  4. Demonstrated capability to interpret complex clinical data (TFLs, statistical analysis plans) and translate them into clear, publication-ready scientific narratives.
  5. Exceptional written communication skills, with a proven track record of providing actionable, structured feedback on scientific draft materials.
  6. Advanced degree in life sciences, pharmacy, or medicine (PhD, PharmD, MD, MSc) or equivalent depth of authoring experience.
  7. Therapeutic area diversity across multiple clinical phases; expertise in oncology, immunology, or rare diseases is especially valued.

How big is the remote / hybrid opportunity?

Remote work is already huge — but the bigger story may be the hundreds of millions of jobs that could still move beyond geography.

Global remote and hybrid work opportunity infographic

Remote work already connects millions of people with companies they would never have been able to work for a decade ago. But compared with the size of the global labour market, it may still be early.

The interesting number is not only how many people work remotely today — it is how many roles could plausibly become remote or hybrid next.

The chart above starts with roughly 3.3 billion people employed worldwide. Around 300 million jobs are already remote or hybrid, while an additional pool of roughly 250 million roles could potentially move in that direction as technology, workflows and company culture continue to change.

Skills are becoming more portable

This matters because more work can increasingly be matched to expertise rather than location. AI training and evaluation are a good example: companies need lawyers, engineers, designers, editors, researchers, finance professionals and many other specialists to help improve AI systems.

For workers, that creates access to projects outside their local market. For companies, it expands the talent pool from one city or country to the world.
