Veterinarian Expert - Remote AI Lab Project
Listing checked September 22, 2026 · pay as published by AfterQuery
Overview
AfterQuery hires licensed veterinarians to build the clinical material that frontier AI labs use to measure veterinary reasoning. You write case scenarios that run from first presentation through diagnosis and treatment plan, then produce reference answers that spell out species specific reasoning, dosing, and differentials. A second part of the work is grading what a model outputs: does the diagnosis hold up, does the drug or dose create a toxicity risk, does the guidance stay inside the scope of veterinary practice. The engagement runs 10 hours per week on a contract basis, fully remote and async, with no on call rotation and no emergency coverage. Pay lands between $95 and $145 per hour, sent through Stripe.
What You'll Do6
- 1Draft realistic veterinary cases across species, covering the full arc from presentation and history through exam findings to a treatment plan.
- 2Compose reference answers that lay out reasoning for each species, correct drug doses, and the differentials a clinician would weigh.
- 3Review model responses for diagnostic soundness, awareness of toxic doses, and overall safety of the advice given.
- 4Call out guidance that is unsafe, outside veterinary scope, or invented, and explain the exact flaw in each case.
- 5Set your own weekly schedule and deliver a minimum of 10 hours of reviewed case work.
- 6Submit veterinary license credentials as part of the onboarding step.
Requirements4
- 1DVM or VMD plus an active, unencumbered US veterinary license.
- 2At least 2 years in clinical practice.
- 3Depth in small animal, large animal, or mixed practice, with working command of pharmacology and dosing.
- 4Ability to document clinical reasoning in clear written English.
Who Should Apply
Practicing veterinarians who have spent 2 or more years in the clinic and can move between a patient presentation, a differential list, and a defensible dose without looking everything up fit this work well. People with board certification or residency training in ACVIM, ACVECC, or ACVS, or a background in emergency and critical care, exotic, equine, or production animals, tend to have the case range the project needs. The role suits someone who wants a side engagement with flexible hours and no clinical emergencies attached. It fits poorly if you are not currently licensed in the US, since credentials get verified before work starts, or if you have under 2 years of practice behind you. Applications also stall when the written samples are vague about dosing or lean on general statements instead of showing how you reached a diagnosis.
Salary Insight
The rate sits at $95 to $145 per hour, paid through Stripe and billed against the hours you log. That band lands above what most clinical relief shifts pay and reflects the specialist knowledge involved, so candidates with board certification or an emergency caseload history typically anchor toward the upper end.

Required Skills
Application Tip
Have your veterinary license details ready at the point of application, because credentials get checked before any case work begins. When you describe past clinical work, name the species mix you handled and the drugs or protocols you used most, and cite specific conditions you diagnosed. A short note on how you reason through a toxic dose question will do more for your fit score than a general summary of your practice.

AfterQuery
VerifiedDentist Expert - Remote Clinical AI Contract
AfterQuery needs licensed dentists to write and score the clinical dentistry cases that frontier AI labs use to test model judgment. You will work from home on a contract with a target of 10 hours per week, and you choose when those hours happen. Cases cover restorative dentistry, endodontics, periodontics and treatment planning, and each one pairs radiographic findings with a treatment plan. Pay runs from $100 to $155 per hour, with Stripe payments each week. Your reviews help labs see where a model gives safe guidance and where it invents clinical advice.
AfterQuery
VerifiedPharmacist Expert (PharmD) - Remote Contract
AfterQuery builds evaluation and training data for frontier AI labs. This contract asks a licensed pharmacist to write and review pharmaceutical reasoning challenges that test whether an AI model can handle real clinical decisions. You will work 15 hours per week on a remote, asynchronous basis and focus on clinical pharmacy, pharmacotherapy, and medication safety cases. Your cases help the model tell safe, accurate pharmacy practice from plausible but wrong answers.
AfterQuery
VerifiedMedical MD Expert - Remote Contract Role
AfterQuery, a YC-backed startup, needs practicing or recently graduated physicians to build and grade the clinical material that trains its medical AI. You will write case studies and decision scenarios drawn from real practice, then score how model outputs hold up against clinical guidelines and standard care. The work sits at the meeting point of medical education and digital health, with roughly 20 hours a week on a remote, asynchronous schedule. Cases you design directly shape whether these systems give sound advice when clinicians and patients rely on them.
Mercor
VerifiedMedical Expert - Remote AI Evaluation & Review
Mercor recruits health professionals who can supply the medical judgment that top AI research teams cannot generate on their own. The medicine pool is an open call, not a single opening, so it remains live while projects start on short notice. When a project launches, you may write a case from your practice with the presentation, workup, constraints, and reference answer that sets the standard for grading a model's attempt. You may also review model output for clinical reasoning, checking whether the differential follows a sensible order, whether a guideline applies to the patient, and whether the care plan is safe to carry out. Mercor sets rates per project, and most work is remote and part-time.
AfterQuery
VerifiedMedical Expert - AI Clinical Reasoning Contract
AfterQuery brings physicians, nurses, PAs and other clinicians into a remote contract role on its Medicine team. You will write tough clinical prompts and score AI answers for accuracy and sound medical reasoning. The work touches clinical diagnosis, treatment planning, pharmacology and patient safety. Plan for 40 hours each week at $50 to $200 per hour, with an assessment before anyone reviews your application.
AfterQuery
VerifiedCase Manager Expert (Remote, Contract)
AfterQuery builds the clinical scenarios that frontier AI labs use to check how models reason about patient care. You would write the care coordination cases, the reference answers and the judgment calls behind each level of care decision, then score what a model produces against real clinical and benefit logic. The work suits a licensed RN or LCSW who has spent years on discharge planning, utilization review or complex care coordination and wants a flexible side project instead of a caseload. Hours are yours to set, with a 10 hour weekly minimum, and everything runs async and remote. Pay lands between $70 and $115 per hour, sent through Stripe.
