The Chateaubriand Fellowship
Chateaubriand Fellowships 2010-2011
The Embassy of France in the United States (Office for Science and Technology - OST) launches the Chateaubriand Fellowship Program which is intended for young American scientists at the doctoral level, whishing to conduct their research at a research laboratory in a french institution of Higher Education for a 3 to 9 month period.
Grants aim to initiate or to reinforce collaborations, partnerships or joint projects (for example PUF, MIT-France, France-Chicago, France-Berkeley, France-Stanford, etc …) by encouraging an exchange at the doctoral level. The Office of Science and Technology wishes to encourage and support American doctorants (or doctorants registred in an American university) who engage in a joint thesis supervision, or seek in a joint degree ("co-tutelle" PhD) with France.
The OST will provide a stipend (1,400 Euros a month) and cover the cost of travel and health insurance. No particular level of French is required; it is at the host institution’s discretion. Courses of French can be offered on site. All disciplines in Sciences, Technology and Health are eligible.
The registration process will open online before the end of september 2010, and fellowships can begin on any date from September 1st, 2011, to April 1st, 2012.
