Undergraduate Internships with the Pasteur Foundation in Paris, France


The Pasteur Foundation Summer Internship Program provides U.S. undergraduates with the rare opportunity to conduct summer research at the Institut Pasteur. The foundation’s goal is to encourage students in the pursuit of a scientific career and to expose them to an international laboratory experience.



Each year, four laboratories at the Institut Pasteur are chosen to host U.S. undergraduates. For the Summer of 2012, the host labs will be the Herbomel, Olivo-Marin, Spaeth and Trieu-Cuot labs.


Eligibility: Applicants must 1) be undergraduates with an excellent academic record and a strong interest in biosciences and biomedical research (prior lab experience is highly recommended); 2) have completed three full years (six semesters) of college course work by the time the internship commences; and 3) not have received an undergraduate degree at the time of application. Knowledge of French or desire to learn it is advisable. This program is open to U.S. citizens only.
The application deadline will be December 16, 2011. Applicants are notified in February, and awardees are asked to accept or decline their positions by early March.
