• Develop expert-level psychiatric cases and reasoning challenges designed to test advanced AI systems.
• Create accurate, clinically rigorous, gold-standard answers supported by clear diagnostic and clinical reasoning.
• Evaluate nuanced psychiatric scenarios, including complex differentials, edge cases, and risk-assessment considerations.
• Review AI-generated responses and identify clinical inaccuracies, reasoning gaps, unsupported conclusions, and common failure patterns.
• Provide structured feedback to help research teams understand and improve AI performance on advanced psychiatric tasks.
• Collaborate directly with AI research teams and other subject-matter experts.
• Apply current clinical knowledge and professional judgment consistently when evaluating model outputs.

Qualifications

• Completed psychiatry residency through an ACGME, AOA, or recognized national-equivalent program. Current trainees do not qualify.

• Experience reviewing, evaluating, grading, or developing clinical or medical educational content.

Role Responsibilities

• Develop clinically challenging psychiatric scenarios for AI evaluation.
• Produce authoritative answers with transparent and well-structured clinical reasoning.
• Focus on nuanced differentials, psychiatric risk assessment, diagnostic uncertainty, and clinical edge cases.
• Evaluate model responses for clinical accuracy, reasoning quality, and appropriate judgment.
• Identify recurring failure modes in AI reasoning and communicate them clearly to research teams.
• Collaborate with other psychiatric and clinical experts to maintain consistent evaluation standards.

Screening Process

Qualified candidates will complete a 20–30 minute structured interview. The screening conversation will focus on your clinical background, independent practice experience, psychiatric specialization, and relevant subspecialty expertise.
