Subject: Prospective PhD student: Biomedical Research Dear Professor Slutsky, 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 "Multi-center randomized superiority clinical trial in the early phase of mechanically ventilated patients to preserve diaphragm thickness using non-invasive magnetic phrenic nerve stimulation: STIMIT ACTIVATOR 1 pivotal trial." (2025), 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 Randomized Phase 2 Dose Ranging, Active Control Trial of Using a Sequential Rebreathing Oxygen Mask (Hi-OxSR) to Increase PCO2 for the Treatment of Post COVID Cognitive Dysfunction (RECLAIM-Hi-OxSR)" (2023), 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]
