Dear Hiring Manager,

I am excited to submit my application for the advertised Scientist position. My expertise in protein expression and purification, NMR structural determination and structure-function analysis have prepared me as a potential candidate for this position.

I have successfully worked as a member in several multidisciplinary teams. I am detail-oriented, quick to pick up new skills, flexible, thorough, eager to learn from others and willing to shoulder new responsibilities. My determination to learn the underlying theory and practical details of a project motivated me to work integrally with my collaborators. In industry, I have provided expert scientific advice and customer service, and also maintained high-throughput NMR pipelines for diverse research projects, which further exemplifies my communication skills and abilities to work in interdisciplinary projects.

I have attached my resume, including my relevant research experience and a list of few selected publications. If you would like to discuss my qualification further, please contact me. Thank you for taking time to review this letter and accompanying documents.

Sincerely yours,
