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 1 year 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 submit your portfolio
- 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
