Project Description: Drug toxicity and resistance are the leading causes of therapeutic failures. The Chen Lab (https://www.stjude.org/research/labs/chen-lab-taosheng.html) studies: (1) the chemical regulation of nuclear xenobiotic receptors, (2) the mechanism of selective modulation of highly homologous drug-metabolizing enzymes. We are taking a hypothesis-driven and technology-enabled multidisciplinary approach to develop chemical probes, investigate biological mechanisms, and evaluate in vivo efficacy. In particular we use the promiscuous pregnane X receptor (PXR) and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) as models. PXR and CAR transcriptionally regulate cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and CYP3A5—drug-metabolizing enzymes that metabolize more than 50% of clinical drugs, the dysregulation of which contributes to drug toxicity and drug resistance. We have developed the first selective PXR antagonist (Nat Commun 8:741, 2017; Nat Commun 15:4054, 2024); established that PXR and CAR...

Requisition Id 16093 Overview: Oak Ridge National Lab is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to advance quantitative, high-throughput neutron imaging for next-generation energy-storage materials. In this role, you will develop and apply methods that integrate physics-guided image correction with intelligent (AI/ML-enabled) data-acquisition strategies. Key objectives include (1) implementing and validating scattering-correction and calibration workflows that yield quantitative attenuation coefficients, and (2) designing adaptive tomography approaches that reduce acquisition time while maintaining or improving image quality. These advances will directly support operando studies of solid-state batteries and porous electrodes and accelerate the development of predictive transport and performance models. This position resides in the Materials Engineering Group in the Large-Scale Structures Section, Neutron Scattering Division, Neutron Sciences Directorate at Oak Ridge...

Requisition Id 16069 Overview: We are seeking an early-career R&D Associate Staff Member to develop and demonstrate advanced manufacturing, robotics, and automation technologies for next-generation building construction. This position resides in the Manufacturing Robotics and Controls Group in the Manufacturing Science Division (MSD), Energy Science and Technology Directorate (ESTD), at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). This role will focus on the development and implementation of novel robotic construction workflows, human-machine collaboration strategies, and automated manufacturing platforms that transform how buildings are designed and constructed. The successful candidate will contribute to a UT-ORII Convergent Research Initiative (CRI) aimed at enabling affordable, resilient, high-productivity construction practices through advanced automation. As an ORNL staff member aligned with UT-ORII, the selected candidate will also be appointed as a UT-ORII Fellow, working...

The Singh lab ( tjsinghlab.com ) is looking for a motivated and creative postdoctoral research associate to lead method development and analysis in statistical human genetics, with a focus on brain disorders. The candidate will develop and apply methods to analyze genetic and phenotypic data from clinical collections and population biobanks that include tens to hundreds of thousands of individuals. The candidate will use the depth and diversity of these multimodal datasets to characterize the effects of genetic risk factors for psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. Specifically, they will co-analyze common, rare, and structural variants from whole-genome sequence data and detailed phenotypic (questionnaire, clinical, and imaging) data using novel and scalable methods in statistical genetics and machine learning to understand the pathogenesis of brain disorders. We hope to use these insights to identify genes associated with increased risk of particular symptom clusters...
