Hi
I have to apply for an astronomy PhD student position in a foreign coutry.
For the application, I have to provide, among the other things, a letter of "Research Interests".
This is the first time that I heard about it, and I don't know how to start.
I read other research interests letters on the web, but they are always from post-docs, or grown scientists, so their letter is suitable to apply for a "free" fellowship, and they promote their skills.
Instead, the PhD position is different from my work before, as my master thesis, workshops, or internships I have done...
Well, here I would like to know HOW to formulate this letter: how to start, what I have to write, how much, if it's better to subdivide the letter in sections or not, and other stuff like this.
Please, I don't really know how to plan it.
Thank you in advance :)
