Subject: Prospective PhD student: Acute Kidney Injury Dear Professor James, My name is [your name], and I am a [your current degree or role] at [your institution]. I am applying for a PhD position starting in [term and year]. I read your paper "Corrigendum to "Association of medical therapies with survival according to SPECT MPI findings" [J Nucl Cardiol 3 May 2025; 102229]." (2026), and it connects closely to my own work on [your research topic]. [One or two sentences on what you did and what you learned.] I also saw your CIHR-funded project "UPTAKE: Using Personalized risk and digital tools to guide Transitions following Acute Kidney Events - A pragmatic randomized controlled trial in Connect Care" (2022), and I would be glad to contribute to work in that direction. Are you accepting new PhD students for [term and year]? I have attached my CV and transcripts, and I would be glad to talk at a time that suits you. Thank you for your time. Kind regards, [your name]
