●想想你的具体专长在哪里

       ●想想你的研究兴趣是什么

       ●访问学校官网并在教职员工中搜索最符合您的兴趣和专长的研究领域

       ●阅读您有兴趣加入的实验室的出版物

       ●更新你的简历。将其格式调整为 pdf

       ● 向您想加入的实验室发送一封个性化的电子邮件

     ● 用他们的身份和姓氏称呼教员，例如“Dear Professor Miller”（教授）或“Dear Dr. Miller”（还不是教授的教员，例如初级小组负责人）。

       ● 将您的简历（pdf）和您的出版物（如果适用）附在电子邮件中。

       ● 具体：说明 a) 为什么您对在该实验室工作感兴趣（例如，您阅读过的论文中的一个科学主题引起了您的兴趣）和 b) 您可以为实验室的科学工作做出哪些个人贡献（参考你的经验）。

       ● 在发送之前校对电子邮件

●不要以"Respected Sir"或"Dear Sir or Madam"等问候语开头您的电子邮件。这可能被认为既粗鲁又懒惰，因为显然您甚至没有费心去找出该教员的姓名和性别。

●不要使用发送应用程序的自动化网络服务。这些电子邮件一定会被删除。

●不要发送一些没意义的问询，确保您的第一次联系信息已经足够明确，因为您可能没有第二次机会。

●不要随意向教职员工或协调员发送电子邮件。任何不明确的电子邮件都将被删除。

      Example Letter of an ‘Expression of Interest’ to potential Professors/Supervisors

    Note 1: The example below is a suggested template for writing letters to potential graduate program supervisors to express interest in working with them as a graduate student. The template is an examples only. You may use this example to gage the quality of your letter or to stimulate your own ideas for a letter.

     Note 2: It is highly recommended that you read a few of the relevant papers that the professor has published to determine whether the supervisory relationship, should it come to fruition, would be a good fit for parties involved.

      Example ：

      Dear Professor [XXX],

   My name is [XXX], and I am currently an [undergraduate/graduate] student at the University of [XXX]. I have perused your website, reviewed a few of your published studies, and believe that my interests in [state subject area] align intimately with your current research thrusts. To date, I have taken [state a few relevant courses] and have published articles on [specify relevant subject] that have prepared me to undertake a program of advanced study under your supervision.

       I have attached a copy of my curriculum vitae and an example of one of the relevant papers that I have written that demonstrates my capabilities and potential for advanced work. I would be keen to speak with you regarding my qualifications and a position within your research group as a research assistant at the [M.Sc./Ph.D.] level.

       Sincerely,

       [XXX]
