About The Position

This is a remote, independent-contractor consulting engagement supporting an advanced AI training and clinical evaluation project. The specialist will review complex adolescent eating-disorder cases, assess clinical and medical risk, apply diagnostic and screening frameworks, evaluate treatment suitability, and provide structured written guidance grounded in current standards of care. No prior AI experience is required. The work requires substantial recent direct clinical experience with adolescents, specialist knowledge of eating disorders, sound judgement about escalation and treatment suitability, and the ability to explain nuanced clinical recommendations clearly to non-specialist audiences. Project scope, workload, case complexity, and evaluation standards may evolve. Selected professionals should be prepared to begin their first tasks approximately 24–48 hours after completing onboarding. Work must not use confidential or proprietary information belonging to an employer, client, institution, healthcare organisation, patient, or other third party.
