About Mercor

Mercor partners with leading AI labs and enterprises to train frontier models using human expertise. You will work on projects that focus on training and enhancing AI systems while collaborating with top researchers and shaping next-generation AI systems.

Role Overview

Mercor is hiring Gastroenterologists on behalf of a healthcare AI partner developing advanced clinical decision-support systems focused on digestive health, hepatology, and endoscopic diagnostics.

In this role, you will apply deep clinical expertise to review, annotate, and validate gastroenterology-related medical data. Your work will directly shape safe, reliable medical AI systems by ensuring that complex diagnostic reasoning, guideline adherence, and procedural insights are accurately represented.

Key Responsibilities

Clinical Data Annotation

• Review and label clinical narratives, EHR notes, endoscopy reports, imaging findings, and case data related to gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary conditions.
• Identify and validate diagnoses, diagnostic workups, procedural findings, treatment plans, and outcomes (e.g., IBD, GI bleeding, liver disease, malignancies).

Quality Review & Validation

• Audit annotated datasets for clinical accuracy and alignment with guidelines (AGA, ACG, AASLD).
• Evaluate AI-generated recommendations for diagnostics, management, and procedural interventions.

Knowledge Contribution

• Define annotation guidelines for complex GI conditions (e.g., inflammatory bowel disease, cirrhosis complications, pancreatic disorders).
• Advise on taxonomy and edge cases such as obscure GI bleeding, functional disorders, and post-procedural complications.

Model Evaluation & Feedback

• Review AI-generated clinical summaries, endoscopy interpretations, and treatment recommendations.
• Provide structured feedback to improve diagnostic reasoning, procedural accuracy, and patient safety.

Documentation & Training Support

• Contribute to specialty-specific annotation standards and onboarding materials.

• Familiarity with EHR systems, endoscopy reporting tools, and clinical terminology.
• Interest in medical AI or informatics is a plus.

Work Arrangement

• Preferred in-person (San Francisco), part-time (up to 10 hours/week).
• Flexible schedule designed for actively practicing clinicians.

Contract & Payment Terms

• Independent contractor engagement.
• Fully remote with flexible scheduling.
