Role details

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

  • 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.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Structured Feedback: Provide clear and structured written rationales for each assessment, enabling precise diagnosis and improvement of AI model behavior.
  • Framework Refinement: Collaborate with project leads to refine evaluation criteria and document best practices for scientific publishing workflows within AI development environments.


Preferred Qualifications

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