Subject: Prospective PhD student: Chronic Pain Dear Professor Landry, 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 "Resting-state neural oscillations predict individual differences in verbal learning and encoding strategy use."

[One or two sentences on what you did and what you learned.] I also saw your CIHR-funded project "Telehealth hypnosis-integrated CBT versus standard CBT for chronic non-inflammatory musculoskeletal pain: A randomized controlled trial examining clinical outcomes and hypnotic suggestibility" (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]
