Medical Laboratory Scientist Expert

About the role

<p>ASCP certified medical laboratory scientists to build the lab medicine scenarios frontier AI labs use to test model judgment.</p>

<p>AfterQuery builds the expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to measure and improve their models. We're hiring ASCP certified medical laboratory scientists as contractors to author and grade the laboratory medicine scenarios those evaluations run on.</p>

<p><strong>What you'll actually do</strong></p>

<ul><li>Author realistic lab scenarios from specimen receipt through result interpretation</li><li>Write reference answers with the analytical reasoning behind each result call</li><li>Grade model output for analytical accuracy and patient safety</li><li>Flag interpretations that read right but would release a bad result</li></ul>

<p><strong>Who this is for</strong></p>

<ul><li>MLS(ASCP) certification or equivalent, such as AMT MT</li><li>2+ years of clinical laboratory experience</li><li>Depth in at least one department: hematology, chemistry, micro, or blood bank</li><li>You can write analytical reasoning clearly enough for another scientist to follow it</li></ul>

<p><strong>Contract and pay</strong></p>

<ul><li><strong>$65 to $95/hr</strong>, paid weekly via Stripe. Your rate is set from your experience, not negotiated down after you start.</li><li>Remote, fully async.
