Chemistry Instructor Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager,

As a Chemistry Instructor and Doctorate of Nuclear Chemistry student, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I am currently a part-time Chemistry Instructor at the University of Sunnybank, where I teach 

Solid State Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology to undergraduates. As well as the planning and delivery of high-quality instruction in physical and virtual settings, I am experienced in administering and evaluating assessments. I employ a range of traditional and progressive methodology, with an emphasis on experiential learning opportunities. While I often use textbooks for first year students, I enjoy creating material to address specific topics.

I see myself as an educator, not just an instructor. I 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 classes achieve.

In addition to my teaching and doctorate, I hold a Master of Chemistry. I regularly build upon my theoretical and practical knowledge through attending workshops, conferences, and courses.

I have enjoyed my time at the University of Sunnybank, and am grateful for the excellent instruction opportunities offered. As my doctorate is nearly complete, I seek a full-time role that will enable me to deliver stimulating courses to the next generation of chemistry specialists.

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,

Emma Smith
