Dear Sir/ Madam,

APPLICATION FOR THE POSITION OF SBS CASUAL RESEARCHER

It is with great interest that I submit this letter as an application for the position of SBS Casual Researcher advertised on the SHU website. My strong academic commitment as well as my participation in a number of similar experiences as noted in the job description makes me an excellent candidate for this position.

Throughout my academic years, I received training in conducting studies and literature searches using database, analyzing and summarizing data. While doing my Masters in Biotechnology, I gained experience in analyzing methanotrophic bacteria used as a tool in bioremediation. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of these bacteria by different analytical instruments and then comparing the results by some chemometric methods was the main purpose of my project.

I believe that my background in Biotechnology and my experience in research laboratories made me a person who follows the instructions very carefully, makes good reports on research experiments and reduces chemical contaminations and different bios to the least.

During my placement in a research institute my key job details include, but are not restricted to, the following: Perform studies as related to the project, coordinate and perform various functions related to research project, perform study scheduling, prepare cell cultures, blood sampling, tissues, etc. for testing, perform microscopic analysis, measure and monitor gene expression, perform recombinant DNA work, monitor cell interactions, tabulate research data, analyse research data, handling, analysing and interpreting research data, record results of experiments, prepare research presentations and develop and maintain research database.

In addition to the above, I have excellent spoken and written communication skills. I am proficient in SPSS statistical software, MS Office and several other programs. I can handle and protect sensitive and confidential data with integrity. I can work alone or in a team (as per the demand of the project), and I can easily complete research and correlate data on schedule.

I am extremely interested in joining your esteemed and progressive department and I believe with my experience and dedication to hard work that I am an excellent candidate and look forward to hearing from you soon.
