Listing via Himalayas.

Eligibility, licensing, and location restrictions can change. Always confirm details on the source posting before applying.

Why this is worth applying to

Worth considering for board-certified or board-eligible anatomic pathologists seeking remote, flexible, industry-facing consulting work in biomarker and computational pathology. Not viable for clinicians without pathology board certification or subspecialty training.

Who should apply

Board-certified/board-eligible anatomic or AP/CP pathologists, especially those with surgical pathology subspecialty training, digital pathology platform experience, or prior translational research, clinical trial, or drug development exposure. IMG pathologists with MBBS and equivalent board credentials are also strong candidates.

CV angle

Lead with board certification and surgical pathology subspecialty training, then quantify experience with digital pathology platforms, slide annotation, and QC/validation of human- and algorithm-generated annotations. Frame any translational research, clinical trial, or pharma collaboration as evidence of cross-functional, client-facing delivery, and highlight protocol drafting, literature synthesis, and annotation guideline development as directly transferable to computational pathology and AI/ML model support.

Skills to highlight

  • Surgical pathology and histopathologic interpretation
  • Digital pathology platforms and slide annotation
  • Computational pathology / AI-ML workflow collaboration
  • Biomarker and companion diagnostic development
  • Annotation guideline and reference standard development
  • Literature review and primary source data synthesis
  • Research protocol drafting, review, and quality control
  • Cross-functional and client-facing project delivery

Role summary

A part-time, fully remote contract role for a board-certified/board-eligible anatomic pathologist to serve as a pathology subject-matter expert supporting biomarker discovery, companion diagnostics, molecular and digital pathology, and computational pathology/AI-ML initiatives for pharma and biotech clients. Responsibilities include literature synthesis, annotation guideline development, digital slide annotation review and QC, and cross-functional collaboration to ensure pathology outputs are clinically meaningful and analytically sound.
