Radiation Oncologist
About this role
Opportunity Overview Handshake is looking for radiation oncologists to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is not a traditional job. You’ll draw on your clinical training and hands-on experience in radiation oncology, including treatment planning, target volume and organ-at-risk contouring, dose prescription, and multidisciplinary cancer care, to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI reason like a practicing radiation oncologist. The Handshake AI program runs year-round, with project opportunities opening periodically across different areas of expertise. This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current role. What You’ll Do - Use your clinical expertise to create expert-level tasks that today’s top AI models can’t solve, based on real clinical workflows such as target volume and organ-at-risk contouring, simulation CT and imaging review, dose and fractionation selection, plan evaluation, and treatment planning - Review and evaluate AI-generated responses for clinical accuracy, patient safety, and alignment with current radiation oncology practice and guidelines - Provide clear, structured written feedback to help improve AI model performance - Work remotely and complete tasks at your own pace, with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement Qualifications - Degree and clinical training: - Completed MD, DO, or equivalent medical degree - Completed residency training in radiation oncology - Licensure: Currently licensed to practice medicine in the United States - Clinical depth: Working knowledge in one or more of the following areas: - Contouring of target volumes and organs at risk (e.g., head and neck, thoracic, breast, GI, GU, CNS) - External beam radiotherapy, including IMRT, VMAT, and image-guided radiotherapy - Stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SRS/SBRT) - Brachytherapy - Proton and particle therapy - Palliative radiotherapy and radiation oncology emergencies - Pediatric or hematologic radiation oncology Additional qualifications (not required, but strengthen your application) - Board certification or board eligibility in radiation oncology, or fellowship training in a subspecialty - Experience at an academic medical center or comprehensive cancer center, familiarity with treatment planning systems and contouring software, peer-reviewed publications, or involvement in clinical research Required for all applicants - Must have US work authorization - Strong written communication and attention to detail - Ability to explain complex radiation oncology concepts clearly - Ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
