ask for helping me revise my motivation letter for Phd position

Dear Sir or Madam:

I am writing to apply to Cologne Graduate School for the PhD project regarding aging associated diseases starting in October 2015. My goal is to become a faculty member at a leading university and to investigate the molecular mechanism of aging and age-related diseases.

In high school, I was very interested in the Biology, because I found life’s intricacy so amazing, biology and its related subjects were the most enjoyable topics for me. During that time, my biology scores were among the best and my biology teacher always encouraged me to follow my interest which will be the best teacher to lead me to success on the devious road of lifetime. This heightened my confidence dramatically in this exact science, and I decided to connect my future career with biological science, wishing to gain success in the future.

For that reason I constructed a plan for achieving this long-term aim. By the plan I accomplished some small objectives: graduated from school in the number of the best students in ####and won a scholarship to study in #### of Molecular biology and biochemistry. This year I also received Excellent Undergraduate Student Award in ###. After finishing the courses in ####, I applied for two years’ joint supervision program at ####, which is one of the best institutes of biology in China and specialized in the molecular mechanism’ research of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson in Professor####lab. Under the supervision of Professor ### and collaboration with other researchers of our team, we accomplished the project “#####” and this experience made me become a person with independent research ability and expertise in molecular and cell biology techniques. At the same time, in an institute like ### and College of Life Science in ###, that has so many seminars and reports to get involved in, I am sure obtaining positions similar to the ones I hold now would not be difficult. At this time in my life, I desire more of a challenge and would very much appreciate the opportunity to study and continue research at Cologne University.

The aging research in Cologne Graduate School is in the leading position in the world with outstanding research teams, especially it consolidated the excellent scientific research resources of University of Cologne, the University Hospital of Cologne, the Max Planck Institutes for Biology of Aging and Neurological Research as well as the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) providing much more interdisciplinary and international approach with researchers, which is a fundamental reason why I desire to study exactly here. Furthermore, your team is among them and utilizing genetic tools available in Drosophila melanogaster to study stress signal pathways, cell growth and migration are also the field which I am enthusiastic about and good in. Obtaining a quality of PhD of science from your lab will not only strengthen my knowledge in the field of aging and cancer, but will also help me to be a faculty member at a leading university after I finishing my education. Thus I desire to join your research team to pursuing my dream.

As I mentioned before, with my strong academic background and desiring to study, I am confident that I am qualified and able to perform well in this program. I also believe that I can make significant contribution to this program.

Thank you very much for considering my application. I look forward to your positive response.
