Mercor is hiring US-licensed, board-certified ophthalmologists to evaluate health AI models on ophthalmology patient charts. Remote, $175/hr, about 20 hours per week.

## About the Role
Mercor is recruiting board-certified ophthalmologists (MDs and DOs) to assess health AI models for a leading AI lab. You will review de-identified patient charts and judge how well AI systems answer clinical questions in ophthalmology.

## What You'll Do
- Assess AI answers to ophthalmology questions for clinical accuracy, patient safety and fit with current standards of care
- Compare each answer with the patient chart and pick the stronger of two responses
- Write structured rationales covering clinical rigor, completeness and clarity
- Flag errors that could put patient safety at risk

## Requirements
- MD or DO from an accredited medical school
- Board certification in ABO Ophthalmology through an ABMS member board or the AOA
- Active, unrestricted US medical license
- Completed residency, plus fellowship where the specialty requires one
- Currently practicing and seeing patients in the US, with at least 1 year of independent practice after training (3+ years strongly preferred)
- Clear written communication and close attention to detail

## Compensation & Logistics
- $175/hour, about 20 hours per week, flexible part-time schedule
- Fully remote, immediate start
- Location and licence limits: this is a US-licensed physician role. It requires an active, unrestricted US medical license and current clinical practice in the US, so it is not suitable for clinicians licensed or practising elsewhere.
- Process: upload a resume, complete a 25-minute conversational interview, then credential verification (licence status, board certification, training, current practice setting). Next steps follow within a few days.
