Dear Sir/Madam,

I am pleased to submit my application for the position of Assistant

Professor -Microbiology. I completed my Ph.D. in Microbiology at Dr. Ram

Manohar Lohia Avadh University, Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh in 2012 under the

direction of Prof. S.K. Garg. My primary areas of specialization are

microbiology, biotechnology, enzymology and molecular biology.

My research interest has focused on production, purification and

characterization of microbial alkaline proteases. Utilizing the

results/data gathered during my doctoral research, I have published 8

research papers in various journals of international repute and high impact

factor and two manuscripts are in pipeline. I also monitored equipment

performance and maintenance schedules. I was involved in designing and

drafting of various research projects, submitted by our department to

various Indian funding agencies.

Currently, I am working as Senior Executive (Microbiology Division) at

Titan Biotech Limited, Bhiwadi, Rajasthan and hence have a good knowledge

of process development, literature survey and writing, lab management,

quality systems, cGMP norms, ISO and other international guidelines,

testing as per USP and/or other pharmacopeial procedures. I bear good

technical communication and presentation skills. I have a good experience

of designing experiments and analysis.

Please find with this letter of application a copy of my detailed C.V.

Please contact me if I can provide any additional materials that might help

the committee to evaluate my qualifications.

I appreciate your consideration of my application.

Sincerely,

Dr. Sanjay Kumar Singh
