Pharmacists

Opportunity Overview

Handshake is looking for pharmacists 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 pharmacy practice, including medication therapy management, drug interactions, dosing, and patient counseling, to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI reason like a practicing pharmacist. 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 pharmacy expertise to create expert-level tasks that today’s top AI models can’t solve, based on real clinical workflows such as medication review, drug interaction screening, dose verification, therapeutic selection, and patient counseling
• Review and evaluate AI-generated responses for clinical accuracy, patient safety, and alignment with current pharmacy 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: Completed PharmD or equivalent doctoral pharmacy degree
• Licensure: Currently licensed, or eligible for licensure, as a pharmacist
• Practice depth: Working knowledge in one or more of the following areas:

  • Community or retail pharmacy

  • Hospital or inpatient clinical pharmacy
  • Ambulatory care or medication therapy management
  • Pharmacology, toxicology, or drug information
  • Specialty areas such as oncology, infectious disease, critical care, or pediatrics

Additional qualifications (not required, but strengthen your application)

• Experience across multiple practice settings, or with electronic health records, drug interaction databases, and clinical decision support tools
• Board certification (e.g., BCPS, BCOP, BCIDP), residency training, or peer-reviewed publications

Required for all applicants

• Must have US work authorization
• Strong written communication and attention to detail
• Ability to explain complex pharmacy and pharmacology concepts clearly
• Ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
