Dunham

Dear Dr. Dunham,

My name is Marina Hawkins, and I am currently an undergraduate student at Texas A&M University. This December I will be graduating with my bachelor's degree in Biology and a minor in Genetics. I am currently searching for research laboratories in which I could continue my academic career as a graduate student in fall of 2019.

For the past two years I have gained hands-on research experience in a lab focused on behavioral ecology and evolutionary genomics. While in this lab, I have successfully developed and executed an independent research project focused on animal behavior, and presented my research at conferences and symposiums. Through my research experiences, I have developed an interest in pursuing a graduate degree in ecology and evolution. In my search for professors to work with, I came across your lab and was specifically interested in _________________.

I am writing to you to inquire if there are any graduate positions available in your laboratory for fall of 2019. As shown in the attached CV and transcript, I have taken an appropriate course load with emphasis on undergraduate research throughout my academic career. I will be applying for external scholarships and grants from major funding sources in order to supplement any position you may have available in the lab.

I look forward to hearing a response soon so that we could discuss this possibility even further.

Sincerely,

Marina Hawkins
