Subject: Prospective PhD student: Administrative Data Dear Professor Rudzicz, 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 "Evaluation of Machine Learning and Statistical Models for Predicting Long Term Gastrostomy Tube Dependency in Patients Undergoing Major Oral Cavity Cancer Surgery With Free Flap Reconstruction." (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 "Stroke in Women: Growing Opportunities to Realize optimal Evaluation, Diagnosis, and outcomes (StrokeGoRed)" (2024), 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]
