>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.
>
>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: Biochemistry/Structural Biology, Neurology, Immunology, 
>Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Genomics, Microbiology 
>and Experimental Medicine.
>
>During the 8-week internships (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 $400/week for a total maximum of $3,200. Travel and 
>housing are not paid by this program, but a $300 travel subsidy is 
>provided to interns traveling from the U.S.
>
>Eligibility: Applicants must
>
>1). be undergraduates with a strong interest in biosciences and 
>biomedical research;
>2). have completed two 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.  Knowledge of French or desire to learn it is 
>advisable. Open to U.S. citizens only.
>
>Awardees will be announced in early April 2004.
