Are you a US citizen? Fancy doing science in France? Voila.

This obviously does not apply to me. But to all you Americans out there, watch out for this grant! Sounds pretty sweet to me. Whether you are an undergrad, a pre-doc or a post-doc, it seems that there's a piece of something for everybody. But seriously, the post-doc fellowship looks so-deliciously good. So if you hold the passport of United States, please scroll down and pay attention.
