About the Role

As part of the Center for Data Analytics, Innovation, and Rigor team, you will serve as a bridge between clinical practice and technical research. Reporting to the Technical Project Manager, you will provide clinical oversight and lead standard-setting for AI evaluation research initiatives within mental health contexts.

In this role, you will translate clinical protocols for manualized interventions, documentation, and symptom evaluations into rigorous evaluation standards. This includes defining safety thresholds and identifying red-line failure criteria for AI systems. You will manage a small team of clinical experts, coordinating annotation efforts and developing clinically grounded rubrics to assess both clinician and AI system performance. Success in this position requires deep clinical expertise in mental health, strong leadership skills, and the ability to foster consensus across cross-functional teams of clinicians, scientists, and data professionals.
