| I'm doing my best to write a motivation letter to apply for a doctoral research. I would like to ask for some corrections and advices, please. I've been checking up other letters posted in this web and the comments of the teachers have helped me a lot. I'm afraid that the letter is possily too short, what do you think? (i don't like too long letters, i find them somehow tedious...) As it usually happens to me, i've waited almost to the last moment and i only have one and a half day extra before handing in it, so i would appreciate (but not demand) if somebody can answer before that. Thank you very much in advance and here you have it: Dear Name Surname, I am writing to express my interest in applying for the Doctoral Research project “Mapping of Ecosystem Services” at XXX sited in XXX. I believe my professional and educational background enable me to make a strong contribution at the XXX. I am Forestry Engineer specialized in silviculture at the YYY University. Throughout my studies I was profoundly trained in mathematics, statistics and models. In addition, among all disciplines, I liked best those which explained the functioning of nature and its cycles (ecology, meteorology, soil sciences, pastures...), both in the smallest and the biggest scales. Moreover, I obtained in 2008 an MSc degree in Forest and Nature Conservation (specialized in Policy and Management) at ZZZ University. I was interested in understanding decision-making procedures and rural development processes. During that time I did some research within a team work involving Payments for Environmental Services (PES). Furthermore, after finishing my university studies, I followed an interesting 300-hour course in GIS and environmental management at the YYY University which I liked very much. I am really keen on deepening my knowledge in spatial analysis using this powerful tool. My long-standing aim is to be actively involved with research in an area that I find fascinating, such as ecology and spatial analysis utilizing GIS software. I believe research on ecosystem services is strongly needed in order to evaluate them and examine their possibilities of truly application at the service of society well-being and sustainable development. Finally, I am looking forward to join the XXX team and I remain at your disposal for further contacts. Yours sincerely, Mi name and surname |
