Respected Sir/Madam

My name is Nishtha Khansili and I have completed my Ph.D. in  Basic Applied Science at the National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship & Management (NIFTEM), Haryana, India. My CGPA for Ph.D. is 8.0 (on a scale of 10). After looking at some of your recent papers and your research summary, I find that your research work on building functional materials for diverse uses including materials science, optoelectronics, medicinal chemistry, and various advancement in sensing and biosensing research is very much in line with my research interests.  

I have worked on several different research projects as a graduate at the University of Delhi, post-graduate at GJUS&T, and Ph.D. scholar at NIFTEM, some of which have been published in well-known international journals as listed below:

I wish to apply for the requirement of a post-doctorate fellow(PDF) or a research scientist in your research lab and would be very interested in working under your supervision. I hope you don’t mind my getting in touch, but I’d like to inquire whether you are currently accepting PDF or RA. If you are, would you be willing to talk to me a bit more, by email or on the phone, about my PDF or RA plans? I have attached my resume to this e-mail, but if there is additional information that I have not included that you would like, I would be happy to provide it to you. I would appreciate it if you could review the attached document and let me know what the possibilities might be.

 

Yours sincerely
