About the role
We're seeking a Senior Statistician to join the Stats & Data Science team at Loyal, taking independent ownership of our preclinical statistical portfolio – study design and power analysis, aging biomarker analytics, efficacy, target discovery, and dose and mortality modeling. Your work will directly support drug development decisions and the scientific foundation behind Loyal's path to FDA CVM approval for the first lifespan extension medicine for any species.
What they're looking for
- MS or PhD in Statistics, Biostatistics, Pharmacometrics, or a related field
- 8+ years of relevant statistical experience, with a demonstrated track record operating independently on a preclinical or translational statistics portfolio
- Hands-on population PK/PD modeling experience (WinNonLin, NONMEM, nlmixr2, Monolix, or equivalent) – nonlinear mixed-effects models, exposure-response analysis
- Demonstrated experience in experimental design, survival/longitudinal analysis, and post-hoc statistical analysis
- A track record of exploratory, hypothesis-generating analysis – not just confirmatory statistics – with comfort sitting with ambiguous data and pushing back on poorly defined endpoints or targets
- Strong attention to detail and ability to adhere to regulatory requirements
More about this role
Loyal is a clinical-stage veterinary medicine company developing longevity drugs for dogs. Our mission is to help dogs live longer, healthier lives.
We're pioneering a new category of veterinary prescription drugs that proactively and preventatively target the underlying drivers of aging, delaying the onset of disease and preserving quality of life as dogs age. We've already made significant progress in our mission to develop the first FDA-approved drugs to extend canine lifespan: as of early 2026 we've completed two of three major FDA review sections for our lead program, LOY-002, and are targeting submission of the third and final section later this year.
Loyal is a well-funded startup with teams of scientists, veterinarians, engineers, operators, and creatives. You'll help us continue on our path of earning FDA approval for the first lifespan extension medicine for any species, and change what's possible for the dogs we love.
