About The Position

In this project, the Pulmonary Physician will apply expertise in pulmonary and critical care medicine to fine-tune large language models. The role focuses on ensuring AI systems provide accurate, empathetic, and safe medical reasoning in respiratory diagnostics, ventilator management, and ICU-level decision-making.

The position involves developing and solving advanced clinical scenarios, reviewing AI-generated answers, identifying gaps in model knowledge, and collaborating with AI researchers and medical peers. The engagement is fully remote and lasts one month, with a possible extension. The expected commitment is 20–40 hours per week, at least four hours per day, with some overlap in Pacific Time. This is a contractor/freelancer engagement with no medical or paid leave.
