Candidacy for PhD position

Dear Concern,

After a year of working as master 2 student directly in a scientific research setting, I am seeking to leverage my experience within the field of professional scientific research.

Ideally, PhD position will allow me the opportunity to utilize my experience gained as M2 internee at the professional level. If you are looking for a passionate, dedicated and hard working profile along with strong communication skills and an experience in working on pathogens, please consider my resume attached with the application.

I have done Master M2 “Therapeutic Innovations in Cancer” from Universite Claude Bernard Lyon1 in 2017. During the course of my master M2, I had an opportunity to work on HCV-induced hepatocellular carcinoma at Cancer Research Centre Lyon (CRCL). This internship inculcated many pragmatic accomplishments in me. As a result, I am fairly competent in following skills.

· Cell Culturing

· Western Blotting

· RT-PCR

· Working protocols in P2 and P3 laboratories

· Plasmid construction

· Flow Cytometry

· CRISPR/Cas9 Technique

· Scientific writing

Before seeking admission in Master M2, I had done my graduate degree, Doctor of Pharmacy, in 2013 from one of the leading national universities in Pakistan. Since then, every coming year has proven to be professionally more rewarding than its precedent. Working as a community pharmacist for a couple of years followed by a year of Chemistry and English teaching to high school disciples added a lot to my professional excellence. During all these professional phases, I have a history of proven results and profound findings. Given opportunity, I’m confident in my abilities to earn similar groundbreaking results while being part of your team.

For your convenience, I have attached my resume for your review. I would welcome the opportunity to participate in a personal interview to answer any of your questions and better present my qualifications. Please feel free to contact me via e-mail or phone call to arrange a meeting if needed.

I look forward to speaking with you soon and becoming a part of your team.

Sincerely,

Herrera Learner

Position Overview:

PhD Student

A PhD is the highest level of academic degree a student can be awarded. Earning a PhD usually takes between three and four years of full-time work and dedication, leading to writing a final thesis that should contribute to a specific subject in an original and significant way. As a PhD student, you will typically conduct an independent research project, collect your results, write a thesis that reflects your conclusions, submit your work as a dissertation, and defend it in an oral exam. Institutions may generally demand PhD applicants to have both a Master's degree and a Bachelor's degree.
