Subject: Prospective PhD student: 1.Radon Gas Dear Professor Ezeife, 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 "The association between neighborhood-level income and cancer stage at diagnosis and survival in Alberta." (2024), 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 "Radioactive Air Pollutant Induced Disease (RAPID) Prevention - Understanding and preventing health risks from particle radiation-emitting radioisotope inhalation, as modified by genetic ancestry and mixed exposure with combustion particulates." (2025), 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]
