Medical Imaging Specialist - AI Trainer

Opportunity Overview

Handshake is looking for skilled 3D Slicer users to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional job. You'll draw on your hands-on experience with medical image analysis, CT/MRI segmentation, or surgical planning to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand medical imaging tasks and clinical research workflows.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside anything else you have going on.

Who This Is For

This is a good fit if you're an experienced 3D Slicer user who has worked in or around roles like:

• Medical Imaging Specialist or Biomedical Engineer

• Research Scientist or Neuroimaging Analyst

• Radiologist or Medical Physicist

You should have solid experience with one or more of the following:

• CT/MRI segmentation, medical image analysis, or surgical planning using 3D Slicer

• DICOM workflows, neuroimaging analysis, or clinical research data pipelines

• Annotating or labeling medical imaging datasets

• Reviewing segmentation outputs for accuracy, anatomical consistency, or clinical relevance

What You'll Do

You'll use your experience with 3D Slicer to create tool-related questions and review AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance to real-world medical imaging and biomedical research workflows.

No prior AI or technical experience is required.

Qualifications

We're looking for people who have:

• At least 3+ years of hands-on experience with 3D Slicer, whether through professional work or research projects

• A working knowledge of medical imaging concepts, DICOM standards, and clinical research workflows

• Strong written communication skills and attention to detail

• The ability to work independently and follow written guidelines

Application Process

• Create a Handshake account

• Upload your resume and verify your identity

• Get matched and onboarded into relevant projects

• Start working and earning

Work Model and Project Details

• Status: Independent contractor (not a full-time employee role)

• Location: Fully remote; work from anywhere with a reliable internet connection and access to a desktop or laptop computer

• Schedule: Flexible and asynchronous, with no minimum hour requirement. Many contributors work approximately 5–20 hours per week when assigned to an active project

• Duration: The Handshake AI program runs year-round, with projects opening periodically across different areas of expertise. Placement depends on current project needs, with opportunities to be considered for future projects as they become available
