Subject: Prospective PhD student: Chemical And Biological Mechanisms Of The Flash Effect Dear Professor Buonanno, 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]. Your research on chemical and biological mechanisms of the flash effect 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 "Investigating the 'FLASH' effect: Mechanistic studies of the chemical and biological impact of ultra-high dose-rate radiation." (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]
