We are seeking a motivated individual to help us solve a long standing problem, examining the unusual cases where integrins contribute to cell-cell adhesion, rather than their more standard role of mediating adhesion to the extracellular matrix. This occurs in the amnioserosa, during dorsal closure of the embryo, and we suspect is also involved in cell turnover in the adult gut. This is a two year post, and previous experience with Drosophila will be very beneficial!
