Subject: Prospective PhD student: Accessibility and Social Equity Dear Professor Diab, 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 "Temporal shifts in area-level access to cycling infrastructure for equity-deserving groups in three Canadian cities: A descriptive epidemiologic study." (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 SSHRC-funded project "Advancing proximity planning in Canada: Integrating policy making, proximity behaviour and perception, and the use of the 15-Minute City framework" (2025), 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]
