Pasteur Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowships

Fellowship Program Deadline

For the current Call for Applicants, dossiers must be received by September 17, 2010.

Fellowship candidates who respond to the September call for applicants will be notified in November 2010 and must begin the fellowship by June 1, 2011. (Applicants who responded to the February 2010 call for applicants will be notified in April 2010; recipients must begin the fellowship by December 1, 2010.)

Thanks to the generosity of our U.S. donors, and in particular with the pace-setting support of the Florence Gould Foundation, the Pasteur Foundation administers this fellowship program to bring U.S. postdoctoral researchers to work in any one of the 130+ Institut Pasteur laboratories in Paris. Guided by the institute's administration, which seeks to develop international scientific exchanges to ensure the vitality of Institut Pasteur labs, this program is open to American citizens who are not already in France and who have received their PhD degree within the last five years.

The three-year fellowship package is $70,000 annually: $55,000 fellowship plus $15,000 bench fees to support the research.

The first step is to identify a host laboratory at the institute to sponsor your application. For a list of Institut Pasteur laboratories, please visit http://www.pasteur.fr/ip/easysite/go/03b-000010-011/
