Letters / Statement of Interest for a Research Apprenticeship (Bone structure and composition) [3]
Thanks for the feedback Susan!
I added two more paragraphs. I would really appreciate it if you can look over it. :) These paragraphs addresses the questions:
Why are you qualified?
What skills can you bring to the project?
What do you hope to get out of this research experience?
Although I do not have experience in research, I have the dedication, responsibility, and strong work ethic needed for this position. This past summer I worked at a jam production kitchen. Many tasks required attention to detail. I found that I enjoyed detailed-oriented work and that I could endure working prolonged hours with my hands. I do realize that hulling strawberries and inspecting jars and lids is not the same as preparing bone specimens and operating imaging systems; however, I am ready to take on that challenge. I have the initiative to take part in this project. Additionally, I am willing to commit to this position 9-12 hours weekly and to commute to the UCSF Mission Bay campus. When I make a commitment, I can be counted on to follow through. My work as a tutor and a hospital volunteer for more than three years is a testament to my strong sense of duty.
From this position, I hope to not only gain research experience, but also to collaborate with others from different fields. As I am considering medical school, I would like to gain insight into the medical profession. I feel that interacting with orthopedic surgeons would help me immensely with that goal. I am very willing to learn from others and on my own. I will be taking human physiology and organic chemistry this upcoming semester, which will guide me in studying musculoskeletal issues. Overall, I feel that this is definitely a project I can fully immerse myself into.
