$140-$370/hr radiotherapy planning work, on your schedule
Review a model's prescriptions and contours the way you'd check a resident before sim. Flag the fractionation that ignores the evidence, the wrong PTV margin, or the dose that blows a cord constraint.

Hi, we're Zac and Jack, the founders of Terac. We want to talk to you directly, because you are the most important part of what we're building.
Terac is a community of experts. People who have spent years getting good at something specific and hard. The world is about to need more of you, not less. As AI takes on more of the world's work, the bottleneck shifts to the people who actually know what they're talking about.
Expert labor is the rarest resource in the world right now, and it is shockingly hard to find. The companies that need a rad-onc spotting an OAR constraint violation in an SBRT plan spend weeks chasing people, paying placement fees, and settling for whoever is available. Meanwhile thousands of qualified people are sitting with knowledge that no one ever asks for.
That gap is what we're here to close. Every project that lands on Terac is routed to the people who actually know the answer, on their schedule, paid fairly, and only when the work is verified. No middleman taking a cut of your time. No vague gigs. No chasing checks.
We care about every single person in this community. If you join Terac, you're not a row in a database to us. We read the feedback. We answer the emails. We will fight for you when a customer is being unreasonable, and we will be honest with you when something on our side is broken. The quality of this panel is our entire company, and we owe you a serious bar.
If you've made it this far, here is what we're asking: claim your profile. Put your expertise on the record. Let the world's most ambitious teams come find you for the work only you can do.
Radiation Oncology questions
Still curious? Write to us at support@terac.com.
Site-specific depth is exactly what we want. A reviewer who lives in CNS, head and neck, or thoracic radiotherapy catches contouring and constraint errors a generalist misses, and those cases pay at the top of the band. You declare your sites and modalities, and we route the matching plans.
It matters. We look for ABR Radiation Oncology certification (or equivalent), residency training with hands-on planning and contouring, and a license that is active or recently active. This is evaluation of AI outputs, not patient treatment, but verified credentials are how labs trust your read on dose.
No. You never touch a real plan, contour a real patient, or carry clinical liability. You review the model's prescriptions, contours, and plan-evaluation notes and explain where the dose, margins, and constraints are right or wrong - the scrutiny you'd apply to a resident's plan before sim.
Prescriptions, fractionation schemes, target and OAR contour summaries, DVH and plan-evaluation notes, and patient-facing answers. Some tasks are quick constraint flags. Others are detailed rubric scoring of volume delineation, dose, and tolerance. You can start lighter and move into deeper plan-auditing.
That is the heart of it. A plan can read cleanly and still blow a cord Dmax or a lung V20, and that is the failure that injures patients. Surfacing those subtle constraint and margin errors is the entire value of a radiation oncologist here, and it is what the pay reflects.
Why your expertise matters
Today's radiotherapy AI prescribes fractionation no trial supports, draws PTV margins that ignore respiratory motion, and blows a cord or lung dose limit. Catching that takes a radiation oncologist, not a dose table. Your read on tumor control versus late toxicity is what separates a plausible plan from a deliverable one.
How pay works
Radiation oncology projects pay $140-$370 an hour. Top rates go to complex SBRT, re-irradiation, and detailed contouring and plan-evaluation tasks. Work is remote and asynchronous, fitting around clinic. No minimum commitment. You take the cases that fit, and pay scales with plan complexity.
What the work looks like
A sample of the radiotherapy planning work you would pick up. Every project is scoped, remote, and paid on verified completion.
- Flag a lung SBRT prescription whose fractionation exceeds chest-wall and proximal-bronchial-tree constraints for a central tumor needing a risk-adapted scheme.
- Catch a head and neck plan where the spinal cord Dmax exceeds tolerance and flag the need to replan.
- Flag an incorrect CTV-to-PTV margin in a prostate case that ignores intrafraction motion and rectal filling.
- Rank two breast prescriptions on modern hypofractionation evidence versus an outdated 50 Gy in 25 fractions default.
- Red-team a chatbot recommending cord re-irradiation without referencing prior cumulative dose or a recovery interval.
- Score a plan-evaluation note that accepts a lung V20 above tolerance and understates pneumonitis risk.
