I am writing to express my interest in the postdoctoral researcher opportunity as a Doctorate of Environmental Sciences graduate with a strong passion for addressing climate change crises. Currently, I work as a part-time Research Coordinator at the University of Sunnybank’s Office of Biotechnology and Environment, focusing on research that drives environmental and social change. Additionally, I serve as an undergraduate Teaching Assistant in the Department of Environmental Sciences, where I am responsible for instructional planning, grading papers and tests, proctoring labs, and teaching Microbiology and Bioremediation.
My research areas have centered around social and legal aspects of the environment, as well as energy planning and the intricate human-environment relationship. I have contributed to the research and writing of "Chapter 2: Energy Planning" in Erick Miska’s (2017) publication on Environmental and Social Change in the 21st Century. Furthermore, I have conducted fieldwork and interviews with environmental scientists and microbiology experts across Europe for the University of Sunnybank’s Environmental Heritage Report.
With 6 years of research and teaching experience, along with a recent doctorate, Master of Biotechnology, and Bachelor of Environment and Society, I am well-equipped to excel in this role. I have also participated in professional workshops and courses in environmental ethics philosophy.
I have greatly valued my time at the University of Sunnybank and am now seeking a full-time research position to delve deeper into climate change crises alongside a team of experts. I have attached my curriculum vitae for your review and would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss how my background and skills align with the needs of your team.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing next steps.
