We are seeking radiologists with a chest/thoracic background to carry out structural annotation on de-identified chest CT scans, with a focus on spatial accuracy and consistency against detailed annotation guidelines. You will work asynchronously on a dedicated annotation platform, marking points, boxes and measurements on findings that have already been flagged upstream, to support the development of clinical AI imaging models. This is a remote, flexible and short-term project.
Key Responsibilities:
- Click-point placement: Mark specific coordinates on a scan, such as the centre of a nodule.
- Bounding boxes: Draw boxes around defined regions of interest, such as a flagged lesion.
- Simple measurements: Record diameter, or distance between two marked points, on segmentations or polygons already drawn.
- Guideline application: Work to an annotation guideline covering placement conventions, boundary definitions and measurement rules, applied consistently across a large volume of studies.
- Edge case handling: Flag ambiguous cases with a short rationale so guidance can be refined.
This is a structural markup project with no interpretation required. You will not be reading scans for diagnosis, judging malignancy, or making clinical decisions.
Qualifications:
- Registration: Registered radiologist in your country of practice with active license.
- Experience: 3–10 years' experience in radiology, with a chest/thoracic focus.
- Knowledge: Strong grounding in thoracic anatomy and cross-sectional CT.
- Attention to detail: Proven accuracy and consistency in image review or measurement work.
- Technical proficiency: Comfortable using structured annotation tools and digital platforms.
- Prior imaging annotation experience is an advantage but not required.
- Language: Native or near-native written English.
- Legal Status: You will have the right to work in your country of residence. You will work as an independent contractor.
Why Join Us?
- Flexible Work Arrangements: Part-time, remote and fully asynchronous.
- Competitive Compensation: Hourly rate, paid weekly.
- Professional Development: Hands-on experience in clinical AI development and medical imaging, shaping how AI systems localise and measure findings on CT.
