Orthodontist

About the Role

Mercor is hiring practicing orthodontists (DDS and DMD) to help build rigorous evaluations of how well AI reads real dental imaging, in partnership with a leading AI lab. This is not image labeling: your clinical judgment becomes the reference standard used to train and test frontier AI models.

What You'll Do

• Read de-identified cephalometric and panoramic radiographs, CBCT studies and intraoral scans and record the reference finding.
• Apply the diagnostic conventions and treatment-planning reasoning you use in practice.
• Review AI-drafted reads and flag anything inaccurate, unsupported or unsafe.
• Write structured rationales covering clinical rigor, completeness and clarity.

Requirements

• DDS or DMD from a US dental school.
• Completed an accredited orthodontics residency (certificate or MS in orthodontics).
• Active, unrestricted US dental licence.
• Currently treating patients as an orthodontist in the US, with 5+ years of independent practice after residency.
• Resident in the US, outside California.
• Clear written communication and close attention to detail.

Compensation & Logistics

• Pay: $150/h, remote with flexible part-time hours (about 20 hours per week).
• Start date: immediate.
• US only: you must live in the United States, outside California.
• Process: upload your resume, complete a 25-minute conversational interview, then credential verification (licence, certification, training, current practice).
