Research Statistician I- Remote

Senior Statistician, Research & DevelopmentThis role offers the opportunity to shape statistical strategy across an innovative preclinical drug development portfolio focused on extending canine healthspan and lifespan. The Senior Statistician will independently lead study design, statistical analysis, modeling, and exploratory research that informs critical R&D decisions. The position combines rigorous statistical methodology with open-ended scientific problem-solving, including endpoint development, target discovery, aging biomarkers, and dose and mortality modeling. You will serve as a key statistical partner to scientists and program leaders while helping establish robust, regulatory-ready data strategies. Accountabilities:Independently lead statistical design and analysis for preclinical studies, including dose-response, mortality projection, aging biomarker, enrollment, attrition, and survival modeling.Conduct exploratory and hypothesis-generating analyses for endpoint development, target discovery, and pathway identification, critically evaluating what the available data can and cannot support.Serve as the statistical point of contact for preclinical studies and cross-functional R&D programs, partnering directly with scientists and program leads.Support clinical biostatistics activities, including statistical analysis plan development, regulatory strategy discussions, and drafting analysis sections for review.Partner with statisticians, clinicians, and scientists to develop rigorous, regulatory-ready data strategies and analytical outputs.Requirements:MS or PhD in Statistics, Biostatistics, Pharmacometrics, or a related quantitative field.8+ years of relevant statistical experience, with a demonstrated ability to independently manage a preclinical or translational statistics portfolio.Hands-on experience with population PK/PD modeling using tools such as WinNonLin, NONMEM, nlmixr2, Monolix, or equivalent platforms.Strong knowledge of nonlinear mixed-effects modeling and exposure-response analysis.Demonstrated experience in experimental design, survival analysis, longitudinal analysis, and post-hoc statistical analysis.Proven ability to perform exploratory, hypothesis-generating analyses and work effectively with ambiguous data and evolving scientific questions.Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to work within regulatory requirements and quality standards.Demonstrated ability to independently learn new statistical methods, tools, and scientific domains.Fluency in R and/or Python, with experience using R Markdown, Quarto, Jupyter, or similar tools for reproducible reporting.Experience in veterinary medicine, animal health, or translational aging research is a plus.Experience with data validation pipelines and regulatory-facing statistical writing for FDA, CVM, or EMA submissions is desirable.Full-coverage medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents.$1,000 home office equipment stipend.$Four-day weekends when a public holiday creates a three-day weekend.Unlimited vacation and paid holidays.Paid "paw-ternity" leave, including a day off when adopting a dog.Company equity options grant for new hires.Remote work opportunity within the United States.Collaborative, multidisciplinary environment with opportunities to work across statistics, data science, clinical, and scientific teams.Opportunity to contribute to novel research at the intersection of veterinary medicine, aging science, and drug development.
