Hi guys. I've been trying to email professors regarding research positions for next semester. Take a little time to look at it please? Just looking for feedback so I can have a good first impression before I potentially meet them in person. Thanks!
P.S. I would have filled in the "I personally found ______ interesting," but I am emailing almost ten professors so it will be different for each haha. Thanks again guys!
"Dear Dr._____,
I am a freshman student at ______ currently majoring in Molecular and Cellular Biology. Recently, I have developed a passion for science having taken introductory and several upper-level STEM courses (CHEM 2443, CHEM2444, MCB 2410) and have now begun to search for research opportunities. While doing so, I came across your research webpage and read some information regarding your current activities at the university.
I personally found _____ interesting.
Would you be available to meet sometime this week to discuss your research and my potential involvement? I am available _____. If needed, I can be flexible to your needs in order to make room for a meeting. I would be happy to volunteer in your lab if space is available and would be open to meet your work schedule if needed.
I have attached my resume to my email, but if there is additional information that I have not included that you would like, I would be happy to provide it for you. Thank you very much for your consideration and I look forward to hearing back from you.
Sincerely,
______"
