## 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
