Dear Prof. ___:

I am writing to inquire you about the possibility of obtaining a postdoctoral position in your laboratory.

I am currently a Post Doc researcher at the University of Rome, Italy, Department of Experimental Medicine.

I have an extensive academic background in biological sciences combined with a strong practical work experience in basic research, especially in molecular and cellular biology fields.

My main research area has been so far the characterization of the tumour suppressor gene XXX, discovered in my lab some years ago. I studied several aspects of this tumour suppressor. My first research project demonstrated its role in breast carcinogenesis, where its decreased expression is associated with the inhibition of the YYY pathway. Then, I studied XXX transcriptional regulation. I demonstrated that XXX expression depends on KKK, especially during cellular neurodifferentiation.

During my PhD I also contributed to other projects, as the characterization of HHH role on embriogenesis, and the study of a novel JJJ splice variant, that became the topics of a publication in the Journal __ and a poster presentation, respectively. Furthermore, I am the first author of a review published on the scientific journal ___.

My research experience in different topics gave me a good flexibility of mind, and enabled me to learn and improve many techniques in molecular and cellular biology fields.

I am highly motivated, hardworking and results driven, and a good team player. Throughout my career, I obtained a good communication and organizational skills. I love scientific research, and this passion always induced me to solve difficult challenges and to achieve my goals.

For my future career, I see a PostDoc with your group as the ideal way to broaden my knowledge and scientific activity. Your research activities are really interesting, and your research quality excellent. I greatly appreciated your work on __ gene, published in the Journal ___.

I would be grateful if you would give me the possibility to join your group. I believe that with my scientific background, enthusiasm, curiosity, and determination, I could give a significant and valuable contribution to your research works.

I would welcome the opportunity to visit you in London to discuss further my qualifications.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

I have attached my CV for your review.

I look forward to hearing from you.



Kind regards,
XY
