To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to inquire about a full time, job opportunity as Bench Scientist, at HealthCare Connections, CT. Please find in attachment, my resume. Although my professional skillset as a basic research scientist is highly specialized in protein biochemistry and structural biology, I believe a lot of my skills are transferable and applicable to a clinical and histological laboratory support position. Also, please note that although I am currently working outside of science, I’ve reassessed my career goals and I am now eagerly seeking opportunity in a scientific capacity that allows for continuation of laboratory tasks in a secure employment setting. I will seriously consider a research position even if it means taking a step down from the pay scale of an academic research scientist.
As a previous research scientist at Yale, I’ve had the opportunity to train and develop expertise in the areas of protein and RNA biochemistry involved in many cellular functions and diseased-states. I planned, designed and performed experiments, analyzed data and communicated results by lectures, per-reviewed journals and posters. I am highly skilled in protein purification, structural biology and molecular biology and am meticulous on the bench as I routinely handled RNAse-free samples, autoradiographic experiments, cell-culture and maintenance and aeseptic technique. As an undergraduate student I even performed small animal surgeries where II was responsible for brain tissue sectioning and histology of samples. I enjoy training new students and enjoy learning new skills and techniques. I am detail-oriented, goal-oriented and excel in time management skills whereby I set and finish goals based on priority and cost management. I am well-versed in software for data analyses (Excel, Prism, and ImageQuant) and am used to writing up or editing short reports for funding agencies. I am familiar with graphics programs for presentation (Photoshop) and programs used for database entry. I enjoy remaining busy and working with people that are equally as energetic as I am.
I look forward to hearing from you regarding potential job opportunity with your Product Development Team and thank you for your consideration.
With Best Regards,
Stephanie Hamill
