Medical Laboratory Scientist Expert – AI Laboratory Medicine Evaluation

$135,200–$197,600/year annualized
$65–$95/hour
Remote | Hourly Contract

Annualized compensation is based on 40 hours per week × 52 weeks. Actual earnings depend on hours worked, project availability, and engagement needs.

About the Opportunity

We’re seeking experienced Medical Laboratory Scientists to apply their laboratory medicine expertise to the evaluation and improvement of advanced AI systems.

You’ll create realistic clinical laboratory scenarios and evaluate AI-generated responses for analytical accuracy, laboratory reasoning, result interpretation, workflow appropriateness, and patient safety.

This is expert-level work for practicing laboratory professionals—not routine data annotation.

What You’ll Do

• Develop realistic laboratory scenarios spanning the workflow from specimen receipt through result interpretation.

• Create reference answers that explain the analytical reasoning behind laboratory findings and result calls.

• Evaluate AI-generated outputs for analytical accuracy, clinical appropriateness, and patient safety.

• Identify interpretations that appear reasonable but could result in an incorrect or unsafe laboratory result being released.

• Clearly document your reasoning so other laboratory professionals can understand and evaluate your conclusions.

Who Should Apply

This opportunity is designed for experienced Medical Laboratory Scientists with strong clinical laboratory expertise and the ability to communicate analytical reasoning clearly.

Relevant backgrounds include:

• Medical Laboratory Science

• Clinical Laboratory Science

• Hematology

• Clinical Chemistry

• Microbiology

• Blood Banking / Transfusion Services

• Molecular Diagnostics

Required Qualifications

• MLS(ASCP) certification or an equivalent credential, such as AMT MT.

• At least 2 years of clinical laboratory experience.

• Substantial expertise in at least one laboratory department, including hematology, chemistry, microbiology, or blood bank.

• Strong understanding of laboratory workflows, analytical processes, and result interpretation.

• Clear written English for documenting laboratory reasoning.

• Availability to contribute at least 10 hours per week.

Preferred Qualifications

• Specialist certification such as SBB, SH, or SM.

• Reference laboratory experience.

• Transfusion service experience.

• Molecular diagnostics experience.

• Quality assurance or quality control experience.

• Method validation experience.

• Experience participating in CAP inspections or laboratory accreditation activities.

Work Arrangement

• Fully remote and asynchronous.

• Independent contractor engagement.

• Minimum 10 hours per week with no maximum stated.

• Flexible workload that can scale up or down based on your availability and project needs.

• No screen recording, keystroke monitoring, or idle-time tracking.

• Ongoing project work rather than isolated task batches.

Application Process

1. Apply with your resume and structured questions.

2. Resume review based on the role requirements and evaluation criteria.

3. Written assessment, if requested for further project placement.

4. Onboarding, including contractor documentation and payment setup.

5. Project matching based on your laboratory specialty and experience.

Why Apply

• Earn $65–$95/hour based on experience.

• Work remotely with a flexible, asynchronous schedule.

• Apply your laboratory medicine expertise to advanced AI evaluation.

• Help improve how AI systems reason about clinical laboratory testing and result interpretation.

• Contribute to realistic laboratory scenarios where analytical accuracy and patient safety are critical.

• Access ongoing project opportunities without fixed full-time hours.

Engagement Terms

• Compensation: $65–$95/hour

• Annualized equivalent: $135,200–$197,600 based on 40 hours/week × 52 weeks

• Work mode: Fully remote and asynchronous

• Engagement: Independent contractor

• Availability: Minimum 10 hours/week; no maximum stated

• Payment: Weekly via Stripe

• Project structure: Ongoing work with flexibility to adjust hours based on project availability

• Professional scope: Do not provide confidential, proprietary, or restricted information through project work
