Pasteur Foundation
Post-Doctoral Fellowship Program

The next application deadline is Friday, February 6, 2004.

In collaboration with the Institut Pasteur, the Pasteur Foundation 
has launched a program to bring U.S. post-doctoral researchers to 
work in Institut Pasteur laboratories in Paris thanks to the 
generosity of U.S. donors, and, in particular, that of the Florence 
Gould Foundation in New York.

Guided by the institute's administration which seeks to develop 
international scientific exchanges to ensure the vitality and quality 
of Institut Pasteur labs, this program is uniquely for American 
citizens and does not apply to candidates already in France. The 
fellowships are $60,000 ($45,000 fellowship plus $15,000 bench fees 
to support the research) per year for a term of three years. 
Attention will be given to the Pasteur Foundation Fellows so that 
their time on the Parisian campus of the Institut Pasteur is an 
enriching experience not only scientifically, but also personally and 
culturally.
