From
here and an email I received from the bio undergraduate advising center:
"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.
The Pasteur Foundation of New York has created a program for U.S. undergraduates to conduct 11-week summer internships at the Institut Pasteur. Our goal is to encourage students in the pursuit of a scientific career and to expose them to an international laboratory experience.
During the internships, 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, affordable housing in a residence may be a possible. Interns will receive a living allowance of $400/week for a total maximum of $4,400. Travel/housing are not paid by this program, but a $300 subsidy is provided and intended to defray cost of travel and requisite insurance.
Eligibility: Applicants must 1). be undergraduates with a strong interest in biosciences and biomedical research (prior lab experience is recommended); 2). have completed two full years (4 semesters) 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."
Very intriguing. Oh em gee, indeed.
