Remote | Eating Disorder Specialist; Adolescent

We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced adolescent eating-disorder professionals with advanced expertise in clinical risk assessment, severity staging, intervention judgement, medical stability, and evidence-based treatment approaches to contribute to an advanced AI training and clinical evaluation project.

Selected professionals will review complex adolescent eating-disorder cases, assess clinical and medical risk, apply recognised diagnostic and screening frameworks, and provide structured guidance grounded in current standards of care. The work requires substantial direct clinical experience with adolescents, strong judgement around escalation and treatment suitability, and the ability to communicate nuanced recommendations clearly to non-specialist audiences. No prior experience in AI is required.
