I am writing to apply for the position that was listed on the website. My research and experience make me an ideal candidate. I am currently a fourth-year student graduating in April, studying forensic science and specializing in chemistry.
I have had a great deal of research experience in chemistry, biology, and laboratory practices, both in the lab and in the accredited OTU’s forensic science program. My experience is specialized currently in chemistry through courses like organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and forensic chemistry. I have experience in a crime scene environment throughout my program through courses such as crime scene science, criminalistics, and Interdisciplinary topics in forensic science.
I have research experience in laboratories working with Trevani (chemistry and material science lab) and Stotesbury laboratory (forensic chemistry and material science lab). I am certain my skills make up for the components of this position, and I know my previous experience makes me a prime candidate for this.
I have previous experience in the science council as a Director of Academic Affairs and was also in a business club called AIESEC, as a Vice President for operations in the club.
