Director of Research

About Doctronic

Doctronic is a medical AI company that operates a nationwide virtual clinic and builds clinical infrastructure platforms for healthcare organizations. We deliver AI-enabled care directly to patients across the country through our own clinic and partner with specialty care organizations to deploy AI-driven clinical workflows at scale. We are committed to advancing the evidence base for AI in clinical medicine.

The Role
We are looking for a Director of Research to lead and scale Doctronic’s research program. This is a high-autonomy role for someone who can independently design and execute studies that demonstrate the clinical value, safety, and economic impact of AI-enabled care delivery. You will serve as the connective tissue between our internal teams, academic collaborators, and the broader health economics community — translating operational data into rigorous, publishable evidence.

This is not a supervisory role overseeing others’ research from a distance. We need someone who can get their hands dirty: formulating study designs, managing IRB processes, running analyses, writing manuscripts, and driving projects to completion.

What You’ll Do
Lead Independent Research
Design, execute, and publish studies evaluating Doctronic’s clinical AI systems — including diagnostic accuracy, treatment appropriateness, patient outcomes, and operational performance. You will own the full research lifecycle from hypothesis through publication.

Build and Manage Academic Partnerships
Identify, cultivate, and manage collaborative relationships with academic medical centers and research institutions. Structure joint studies, negotiate data sharing agreements, and coordinate multi-site research efforts that lend external credibility and rigor to our evidence base.

Drive Health Economics and Value Demonstration
Partner with health economists and actuaries to develop and validate savings methodologies, cost-effectiveness analyses, and actuarial models. Translate...
