Graduate / Admission for Phd in Epidemiology [10]
Now I am confused. Do you mean you won't be including your cover letter when you contact your potential supervisor?
Anyway, right now I am at the same stage as you are. What I have done (or am going to do) is as follows:
1) Identify a potential supervisor with research interests similar to mine.
2) Go through his/her recent publications and read a couple of relevant papers.
3) Email them, which includes,
a line to express my interest
a brief intro about myself
how I like their work (I cite the paper)
provide some insight if I can
tell them to find my attached CV (about two pages long as my background is in engg.)
salutation
4) Wait for a couple of weeks (some of them reply, others don't)
Good luck!!!
