About Me
An independent, self-motivated, enthusiastic, and fast-learning candidate with a Ph.D. degree and postdoctoral experience, I enjoy collaborating with scientists to develop new skills.
Dear Madam/Sir:
I am a Food Scientist, graduated from the University of Lorraine in Nancy, France. During my various courses, I conducted successful research projects utilizing my knowledge of food science and technology. During the period of 2014-2018, I had the opportunity to gain some experience as a research associate at the Department of Food Sciences Nutrition and Soil and Agri-Food Engineering at Laval University, Quebec City. currently,
I would like to develop my professional experiences in joining a dynamic research institute or a university department in France to participate in its development. I am a highly motivated, creative individual who works well independently as well as collaboratively with the teams of scientists from diverse backgrounds. I have also had experience supervising technicians and undergraduate students with little prior research skills. I look forward to expanding my scientific and organizational skills set to encompass the areas in which your team is specialized.
Working as Associate Professor (Food Science) would be a great pleasure and a very interesting challenge and if I were given the opportunity, you can be sure that I would give my best to fulfill and exceed your expectations.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss joining your organization. Please find attached a CV with more detailed information about my studies and my training. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions.
Please accept my sincere greetings.
Sincerely,
Dr. Akhtar Muhammad-Javeed
