About The Position

Handshake is seeking experienced Ophthalmologists to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional full-time clinical role. You’ll use your real-world ophthalmology experience to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand ophthalmic concepts, workflows, and professional medical language in general, non-patient-specific contexts.
This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity that can be done alongside your primary employment.
This project is designed for professionals who are already working (or have recently worked) in roles such as:
Ophthalmologist (comprehensive or subspecialty, including retina, glaucoma, cornea, pediatrics, oculoplastics)
Consultant or Attending Ophthalmologist
Academic Ophthalmologist combining clinical practice with teaching or research
This is not a traditional full-time role. You’ll apply once and, if qualified, be considered for part-time, project-based work as new projects become available.
This project involves using your professional experience as an Ophthalmologist to design job-related questions and review AI-generated responses for accuracy, clarity, and appropriateness in general, non-patient-specific ophthalmology contexts.
No prior AI or technical experience is required.

Requirements

• 4+ years of post-training professional experience practicing ophthalmology
• Hands-on experience diagnosing and managing eye conditions, performing ophthalmic procedures, and communicating clinical information to patients or other clinicians
• Strong written communication skills and attention to detail
• Comfortable working independently and following written guidelines
• Professional judgment, reliability, and a high standard of discretion and confidentiality, especially with sensitive or proprietary information.

Responsibilities

• Using your professional experience as an Ophthalmologist to design job-related questions
• Review AI-generated responses for accuracy, clarity, and appropriateness in general, non-patient-specific ophthalmology contexts
