Speech Language Pathologist - Remote Contract
Listing checked September 22, 2026 · pay as published by AfterQuery
Overview
AfterQuery seeks ASHA CCC-SLP clinicians to craft the communication and swallowing scenarios that frontier AI labs use to test model judgment. You will work 10 hours per week on a contract basis, 100% remote and async, with no caseload or billing minutes. The role pays $70 to $105 per hour, and you set your own schedule each week. Your clinical expertise shapes how AI systems reason about speech, language, and dysphagia.
What You'll Do4
- 1Construct lifelike speech-language pathology cases that involve assessment, diagnosis, and therapy planning.
- 2Compose model responses that lay out the clinical rationale for each step taken.
- 3Evaluate AI-generated suggestions for diagnostic precision, patient safety, and alignment with evidence-based guidelines.
- 4Identify advice that appears sound but would not hold up with an actual client or patient.
Requirements8
- 1Hold an active, unencumbered state license and ASHA CCC-SLP certification.
- 2Bring at least two years of clinical practice following your clinical fellowship.
- 3Show depth in pediatric or adult populations, whether in speech, language, or dysphagia.
- 4Write clear English to document clinical reasoning.
- 5Commit to at least 10 hours of work each week.
- 6Preferred: Experience with dysphagia instrumentals (MBSS or FEES) or AAC.
- 7Preferred: Background in medical SLP or school-based caseloads.
- 8Preferred: Prior mentoring of clinical fellows or supervision of graduate students.
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate holds an active ASHA CCC-SLP license and has at least two years of clinical practice after the fellowship. Depth in pediatric or adult speech, language, or dysphagia matters, along with clear written English for documenting clinical reasoning. You need to commit 10 hours per week, so those with heavy caseloads or limited availability will not fit. Applicants often fail when they lack an unencumbered license or fall short of the two-year clinical requirement. Another low-fit signal is weak written communication, because the role depends on explaining every clinical decision in detail.
Salary Insight
The role pays $70 to $105 per hour, paid via Stripe. This range sits at the higher end for contract SLP work, reflecting the specialized nature of the tasks and the need for independent clinical judgment. Your exact rate depends on your experience depth and any preferred qualifications you bring, such as dysphagia instrumentals or mentoring history.
