Two projects are available:

- Uncovering the cellular mechanisms and the mechanics underlying the acquisition of the final shape of the embryonic Central Nervous System in Drosophila

- Exploring how different cell layers (epithelia, muscles and nerves) coordinate in a single morphogenetic process: the replacement of obsolete larval tissues to generate the adult Drosophila abdomen.

The completion of these projects will involve super-resolution imaging and cells tracking in combination with genetic studies and development of molecular markers and optogenetic tools.

Applications should include a CV and letter of motivation and must be sent by email as soon as possible:
