Assistant Professor Molecular Biology Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager,

As an Adjunct Molecular Biology Lecturer and Doctorate of Molecular Sciences graduate, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I am currently a part-time Adjunct Lecturer at the University of Sunnybank, where I teach undergraduate Biochemistry and Microbiology. I employ a range of traditional and progressive methodology in the planning and delivery of instruction in physical and virtual settings, with an emphasis on incorporating field and experiential learning opportunities whenever possible. 

I see myself as an educator, not just an instructor. I actively promote a flexible, supportive, and dynamic learning environment and encourage students to challenge the material and ask how we can use our knowledge to question the choices we make. I am particularly pleased at the average 97% pass rate my students achieve.

In addition to my lecturing experience and doctorate studies, I hold a Master of Biology & Biotechnology. I regularly build upon and complement my theoretical and practical knowledge through field work and by attending professional workshops, conferences, and courses.

I have enjoyed my time at the University of Sunnybank, and am grateful for the excellent teaching opportunities offered. I now seek a full-time Assistant Professor role that will enable me to deliver stimulating courses to the next generation of molecular biology professionals.

Please find attached my curriculum vitae for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps. 

Yours sincerely,

Seth Cohen
