The successful candidate will be will be part of a multidisciplinary research team studying epithelial cell and tissue biology, spanning from molecular analysis of gene expression, biochemical and mechanical cell-cell and cell microenvironment interaction, and mathematical modelling of tissue morphogenesis.

The candidate should possess:

• a PhD in a relevant biomedical discipline, or a concrete plan to defend a PhD thesis within a short timeframe

• a solid bases of developmental and cell biology and a good understanding of tissue morphogenesis

• a good knowledge of research techniques and methodologies related to bioimaging; imaging and image analysis, Drosophila molecular genetics, and solid notions of bioinformatics
