00I graduated from Faculty o***,00 ***00 in June 2006 and 01span00I obtained a specialist degree02span00 in ***. More narrow specialization is ***. During my studies (5 years) I got thorough knowledges in various objects and 01i00I was always a curious and research-active student02i00. On the third year of education I have done my practical research work as a laboratory assistant in the ***, 00, CITY00. 01span00Working there I have adjoined for the first time with scientific investigations, have learnt to work in collective with highly qualified specialists that has helped me to discipline and organize my02span00 01span00work in future.02span02br

00Last two years of education I’m in detail studied my specialization in 00*** Institute of ***, 00CITY00. 00Basic specialists of our Institute lecture us profile subjects like as: SOME SUBJECTS and many others.00 02br

00I was doing my diploma work in Group of *** in ***00 Institute of ***, CITY00 for 2 years. I completed and presented my graduation thesis on the theme “***”, were marked as “excellent”. 01span00Working in lab I have gained not only major skills of practical job in the field of ***, have familiarized with many accessible physical research technique, have learnt self-supporting job, but also have gained appearance experience at various conferences, compilations of reports, writing an articles. 02span02br

00I was looking for a PhD vacancy in 00 last autumn, but unfortunately for some domestic reasons I can't left and I had passed examinations to PhD position in my Institute. Last year 01span00I worked on the following theme 02span00"***" in the 00Laboratory of ***00 in the 00*** Institute of ***00, CITY00.00 01span00I studied influence of various ionic liquids on homogeneous process of hydrocarbons oxidation. Investigated reactions were hydrocarbons oxidation in such aggressive solvent as acetic acid in the presence of palladium complexes. I had been considered a number of various ionic liquids (EMImBF01sub00402sub00, BMImBF01sub00402sub00, BMImOAc and EMImBr) with various substitutions to an imidazole ring and different anions. The greatest interest caused by the last one. It’s interesting to notice, that addition insignificant quantities of EMImBr sharply changed the direction of reaction and distribution of products. Gas chromatography, mass spectroscopy and NMR were used to analyze products distribution. The condition of palladium complexes in reaction mixture were studied by UV-vis spectroscopy.02span02br
02br
00By getting to know more about 00***00, I understood that for several reasons this is the best place and opportunity for me. The theme of ionic liquids and their widely application in *** is very interesting to me, and I’d like to be engaged in it further. Unfortunately, there are no investigations on a large scale on this theme 00 00in our Institute. This PhD position will give me a chance to work at higher level, with use of more perfect equipment that is enough difficult for me here,01b00 02b00to work with other people, experts in area of ***, to learn a lot of the new. Also it’s a great experience of 00studying abroad00 will help me to develop more highly my methodical abilities, practical and theoretical skills, 00enrich my curriculum vitae, as well as gain more independence. 00Having finished PhD position in the 00***00, it will give me more possibilities for the further career growth. It’s 00the perfect opportunity for me to meet other cultures, learn another language and00 traditions, connect with other interesting peoples, to get new friends. Having received this PhD vacancy we become a little territorially closer with my boyfriend, who’s occupies PhD position in a 00, University ***. 02br
02br
00At last as a hard-working and responsible person I believe that I am a good candidate for this PhD project.02br
02br
00Thank you very much for considering my application and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future regarding the success of my application. 02br
