Radiologic Technologist Expert - Remote Contract
Listing checked September 22, 2026 · pay as published by AfterQuery
Overview
AfterQuery needs ARRT-certified radiologic technologists to help frontier AI labs sharpen how their models reason about medical imaging. You write realistic imaging scenarios that hinge on patient positioning, technique selection and radiation safety, then supply reference answers that explain why one protocol choice beats another. The work sits inside the Medicine department and runs as contract engagement at roughly 10 hours each week. Everything happens remote and async, so you decide when those hours land. Your grading also catches model output that sounds plausible but would lead to a repeat exposure or an unsafe study.
What You'll Do7
- 1Draft imaging scenarios that put real weight on positioning decisions, technique settings and safety judgment.
- 2Produce reference answers that spell out the clinical reasoning behind each protocol choice.
- 3Score model responses for technical accuracy and adherence to radiation safety limits.
- 4Call out advice that reads well but would cause a repeat exposure or an unsafe study.
- 5Set your own weekly schedule to deliver around 10 hours of reviewed work.
- 6Apply hands-on clinical imaging experience to keep scenarios grounded in real practice.
- 7Bring advanced modality knowledge into scenarios where CT, MRI or mammography judgment matters.
Requirements8
- 1ARRT certification plus an active state license wherever one is required.
- 2Two or more years of hands-on clinical imaging experience.
- 3Solid command of positioning, technique selection and radiation safety practice.
- 4Written English clear enough to document imaging protocols and the reasoning behind them.
- 5Availability of at least 10 hours per week on this contract.
- 6Preferred: advanced certification in CT, MRI or mammography.
- 7Preferred: background in trauma, OR or interventional radiology.
- 8Preferred: prior experience training students or new technologists.
Who Should Apply
Working radiologic technologists with two or more years at the table, an active ARRT credential and a state license where it applies fit this contract best. Candidates who have rotated through trauma, OR or interventional radiology, or who hold CT, MRI or mammography certification, tend to write the richer scenarios. Training students or new techs is a plus because the writing asks you to explain protocol decisions out loud. The role suits people who can commit 10 hours a week and work without scheduled calls. It suits you less if your imaging experience is thin, if your ARRT certification has lapsed, or if your written English cannot carry a detailed clinical rationale. Applications often stall when a candidate lists imaging duties without showing depth in positioning and technique selection, or when the credential details needed for verification never make it into the submission.
Salary Insight
This contract pays $55.00 to $85.00 per hour, settled through Stripe. That band sits well above typical staff technologist wages and lines up with the higher end of per-project expert rates for credentialed clinical specialists. Where you land inside the range usually tracks your years of imaging experience, your advanced certifications and how much modality breadth you bring to scenario writing.

Application Tip
Lead with your ARRT certification and state license details, since AfterQuery verifies the Radiologic Technologist (ARRT) credential as part of the process. Pair that with concrete numbers, such as the exact years of clinical imaging work and the modalities you handle, and note any CT, MRI or mammography certification. A short sample of your protocol reasoning in clear English helps reviewers see the writing skill this role demands.

SME Careers
VerifiedRadiologist SME for AI Imaging Review and Content
This remote, hourly contract places you as a Radiology SME to review AI-generated imaging responses and to craft expert content across modalities such as CT, MRI, and ultrasound within a secure PACS workflow. You will assess accuracy, safety, and reasoning in step-by-step clinical problem solving, delivering precise written feedback on imaging appropriateness, differential diagnosis, and protocol choices. The role emphasizes prudent judgments around contrast use, radiation dose, and pregnancy considerations, with meticulous attention to missed findings and clear explanations. You will collaborate remotely, contributing to AI model evaluation, training data improvements, and peer review workflows to help shape leading radiology content and AI solutions.
AfterQuery
VerifiedDiagnostic Medical Sonographer - Remote Contract
AfterQuery needs ARDMS registered sonographers to write and review the ultrasound scenarios that frontier AI labs use to test model judgment. You will set your own hours and work async, with a commitment of 10 hours per week. The contract pays $60 to $90 per hour through Stripe. Your scanning background shapes how models handle technique, findings, protocol choices, measurements, and patient safety.
Mercor
VerifiedRadiological Emergency Response Specialist - Remote
This project brings together radiological safety experts to red-team frontier AI models. The panel tests whether a model can judge the misuse potential of a technical request, answering legitimate questions while refusing dangerous ones. Your domain sits on the dual-use line: the same isotope supports cancer therapy and industrial radiography, and the same shielding math protects a worker or hides a source. A model that refuses a routine dose question fails just as much as one that answers a harmful query. Radiological safety practitioners, not generalists, draw that line.
Mercor
VerifiedRadiologist - Medical Imaging AI Annotation (Remote)
Mercor seeks board-certified radiologists to build and grade clinical AI systems for medical imaging. The work sits away from patient care. You label findings, write reference reports, review model output, and define grading standards so imaging AI can be measured against expert judgment. Streams differ in task length, from short structured labeling to full case authoring, and assignments depend on subspecialty, availability, and interest.
Mercor
VerifiedRadiological Safety AI Red Team Expert (Remote)
Neon seeks radiological safety practitioners to red-team frontier AI models on a task-based engagement. You will craft single-turn prompts that sit on the dual-use line, label each one as benign, dual-use, or adversarial, then judge how the model handles the request against a set policy. The work matters because a useful model must answer routine dose, shielding, or isotope questions while refusing requests that seek misuse details. Your domain knowledge decides where that boundary falls, and your writing makes the call clear to people outside radiological safety.
AfterQuery
VerifiedRespiratory Therapist Expert - Remote Contract
AfterQuery builds clinical review tasks that help frontier AI labs test how models reason through respiratory care. Registered respiratory therapists on this contract write realistic cases that cover assessment, intervention, and follow-up, then explain the logic behind each change to ventilator management, blood gas interpretation, and airway care. The work happens remote and async, with 10 hours per week that you control. Pay runs from $60 to $90 per hour through Stripe. Your cases and grades shape how models handle patient safety in airway and ventilation decisions.
