<blockquote type="cite" cite>Founded in 1887 by Louis Pasteur and
located in the heart of Paris, the Institut Pasteur is one of the
world's leading biomedical research organizations. With more than 130
laboratories and 2,500 people on campus, it is a vibrant,
international community devoted to basic scientific research primarily
in the area of infectious disease.<br>
<br>
Thanks to the generosity of the Paul W. Zuccaire Foundation, the
Pasteur Foundation of New York has created a program for U.S.
undergraduates to conduct summer internships at the Institut Pasteur
in Paris. The goal of this program is to encourage American students
in the pursuit of a scientific career and to expose students to an
international laboratory experience. Four labs have been
selected to host an intern during in Summer 2004. (For a list of
laboratories and to download the application, please consult:
www.pasteurfoundation.org/zuccaire.html. Specific scientific
fields include:<b> Biochemistry/Structural Biology, Neurology,
Immunology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Genomics,
Microbiology and Experimental Medicine.<br>
<br>
</b>During the<b> 8-week internships</b> (see lab descriptions for
precise dates; exact start/end dates will be determined by laboratory
head and intern), interns will carry out research supervised by a lab
mentor. Applicants should be eager to immerse in a different
culture, and self-sufficient enough to arrange travel and secure
housing in Paris. (Depending on availability, housing in a local
residence for a modest amount may be a possibility. Also,
interns may choose to room together). Interns will receive a
living allowance of<b> $400/week for a total maximum of $3,200</b>.
Travel and housing are not paid by this program, but a<b> $300 travel
subsidy</b> is provided to interns traveling from the U.S.<br>
<br>
<b>Eligibility:</b> Applicants must<br>
<br>
1). be<b> undergraduates</b> with a strong interest in biosciences and
biomedical research;<br>
2). have<b> completed two full years of college</b> course work by the
time the internship commences; and<br>
3). not yet have received their undergraduate degree at the time of
application. Knowledge of French or desire to learn it is
advisable.<b> Open to U.S. citizens only</b>.<br>
<br>
Awardees will be announced in early April 2004.<br>
