The project focuses on assessing how effectively advanced AI systems reason through complex psychiatric scenarios. As a Psychiatry Expert, you will use your clinical expertise to develop challenging, expert-level diagnostic and reasoning tasks, establish authoritative reference answers, and identify common weaknesses in AI-generated clinical reasoning.

Psychiatrists from a range of practice settings are welcome, with particular interest in professionals with specialized expertise in psychiatry subspecialties.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop expert-level psychiatric cases and reasoning challenges designed to test advanced AI systems.
  • Create accurate, clinically rigorous, gold-standard answers supported by clear diagnostic and clinical reasoning.
  • Evaluate nuanced psychiatric scenarios, including complex differentials, edge cases, and risk-assessment considerations.
  • Review AI-generated responses and identify clinical inaccuracies, reasoning gaps, unsupported conclusions, and common failure patterns.
  • Provide structured feedback to help research teams understand and improve AI performance on advanced psychiatric tasks.
  • Collaborate directly with AI research teams and other subject-matter experts.
  • Apply current clinical knowledge and professional judgment consistently when evaluating model outputs.
Required Qualifications
  • Completed psychiatry residency through an ACGME, AOA, or recognized national-equivalent program. Current trainees do not qualify.

  • Current or recent practice in an accredited or government-licensed clinical setting, including hospitals, academic medical centers, community clinics, private practices, or telehealth organizations.
  • Must be based in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, or Australia. US-based candidates are preferred.
  • Psychiatry must be the primary area of professional practice.
