Entry Level Microbiologist Cover Letter Example

Dear Hiring Manager,

As a Doctorate of Molecular and Cellular Biology graduate, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

During my studies at the University of Sunnybank, I taught Genome Expression and Organization and Genetic Manipulation as a part-time undergraduate Microbiology Instructor. As well as the planning and delivery of high-quality instruction in physical and virtual settings, I administered and evaluated assessments. I was particularly pleased at the average 97% pass rate my classes achieved.

As well as my instructional duties, I assisted with the research and writing of "Chapter 2: Molecular Cell Biology of Diabetic Complications" in Erick Miska’s (2017) Molecular Cell Biology Advances in the 21st Century (Persimmon Press). 

In addition to 6 years of research and teaching and my recent doctorate, I hold a Master of Biology. I have also attended numerous professional workshops 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 complete, I now seek a full-time industry role that will enable me to apply my knowledge in an entry-level microbiology position.

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,

Amy Wall
