Program Description:

The Pasteur Foundation of New York has created a program for U.S. undergraduates to conduct summer internships at the Institut Pasteur in Paris. During the internships, interns will carry out research supervised by a lab mentor. Applicants should be eager to engage with a different culture, and self-sufficient enough to arrange travel and secure housing in Paris. Depending on availability, affordable housing in a residence on campus may be possible. Interns will receive a living allowance of $400 per week for a maximum of $4000. Travel/housing are not paid by this program, but a $300 subsidy is provided and intended to defray costs of travel and requisite insurance.

Descriptions of the four 2011 host laboratories will be posted in the application which will become available in June on our Web site http://www.pasteurfoundation.org.

Program Restrictions:

Open to U.S. citizens only. Applicants must 1). be undergraduates with a strong interest in biosciences and biomedical research; 2). have completed three full years of college course work by the time the internship commences; and 3). not yet have received their undergraduate degree at the time of application.
