Ms. Caroline Burnett

Boston Biotech Company

Somewhere, MA 55555

Dear Ms. Burnett:

As a current graduate student at Brandeis University who is passionate about the discipline of

biotechnology, I am writing to apply for the Research Intern position. I became aware of the

position while exploring job listings at the Brandeis University Career Center. Boston Biotech is

a leader in the advancement of biotechnology research, which is why I am particularly interested

in your company.

My undergraduate degree in biology gave me a strong background in biology, along with

additional skills gained through coursework in genetic engineering, mathematics and statistics. I

am currently working towards my master’s in biotechnology, which will allow me to apply those

skills to a position in the biotechnology arena.

Last summer I had the opportunity to work at Pfizer, where I participated in the Enzyme Assay

Development. This project involved gene assays, high throughput screening, data analysis, and

the use of automated laboratory equipment.

I have been following Boston Biotech’s development of gene-based medicines with great

interest, and I would be very pleased to intern with a company that is at the forefront of bringing

genomics-derived drugs to clinical trial.

My resume is attached and I look forward to meeting with you to discuss this opportunity.

Please feel free to contact me I can provide any additional information.

Sincerely,

Aaron Smith”

Sample 4: “Cover letter for a biotech company”

“To Hiring Manager:

I have obtained a diploma in chemical engineering from Temasek polytechnic and bachelor’s degree of biotechnology from Northumbria University. Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) was included in my study so I have good knowledge on working in the laboratory. I was attached to the Institute of Material Research Engineering (IMRE) for my Student Internship Program (SIP) as a laboratory assistant.

My background includes working as Assistant Engineering at Nagase FineChem Singapore. My responsibilities include measuring and testing the incoming product before giving it a green light for production to produce in mass quantity. I left my current company in order to pursue further education and improve my skill.

I am curious and eager to learn new things that I have yet to experience and achieve, thus my self-developed capability of improving during difficult times has earned me the respect and trust of my peers. Most of the time during group tasks, I am cool-headed and calm-mannered which allows me to plan well in leading the group. However, there are times when I can be very serious regarding work in even the smallest detail. One would say that I can be overly meticulous at certain times.

You can reach me by my mobile number +6287886990300 or my WhatsApp 98575215 or email me at liantoleo1311@gmail.com

Best regard
