Dear Columbia University Hiring Team,

As a self-driven Academic Researcher with 2 years of experience and I'd love to join your team, as seen on the University career portal. In my current position I published several papers in reputed academic journals over the last year and now I'm excited to continue my journey by contributing and growing at Columbia University.

Here’s why I believe I'd be a perfect fit for the position:

First, I’ve always been intellectually curious about comprehending how thing work in the Higher Education sector. As a Academic Researcher at Harvard University, I wanted to push myself and understand each specific of my day to day.

Before starting my career, I've obtained a Graduate Degree in a relevant field at Columbia University. These academic skills were the foundations which helped me to become the go-to person to ask about conducting in-depth academic research to contribute to the intellectual prowess of the institution.

Second, I have plenty of experience working collaboratively with teams to fulfill multidisciplinary research objectives. At Harvard University, I’ve managed delicate situations related to develop and implement research plans, maintain records and provide periodic reports on research activities and been successful at meeting approaching deadlines where I had to think quickly on my feet. As the company scaled, I’ve taken increased responsabilities including mentoring and helping newcomers adapt to company culture.

Finally, I am excited about Columbia University's vision and core values. As a collaborative and detail-oriented Academic Researcher, I recognize the importance of working in a company with a intellectually stimulating environment.

I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to contribute to Columbia University, and I am ready to commit to the high standards and ambitions your team upholds. Thank you for considering my application.

Sincerely,
Cameron Martinez
