Subject: Prospective PhD student: magnetic resonance imaging Dear Professor Rauscher, 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 "Longitudinal brain atrophy and mortality among people living in homelessness and precarious housing: A brief report of a longitudinal study." (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 "A new Class of Radiofrequency Pulses for Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Enhancing Signal-to-Noise Ratio, Reducing Artifacts, and Improving Diagnostic Accuracy Without Hardware Modifications" (2026), 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]
