Subject: Prospective PhD student: biophysical modelling Dear Professor Berman, 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 "High-resolution motion- and phase-corrected functional MRI at 7 T using shuttered multishot echo-planar imaging." (2023), 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 NSERC-funded project "Magnetic resonance imaging and modelling of brain function and microvascular physiology" (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]
