    Hiring Committee
    Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) BHU
    Subject: Application for Senior Data Analyst Position
    Dear Hiring Committee,
    I am excited to apply for the Senior Data Analyst position at IIT BHU. With a strong background in bioinformatics, data analysis, and microbiology, I am eager to leverage my expertise in statistical modeling, data visualization, and computational analysis to support data-driven research at your institution.
    I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Microbiology at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, India, with an expected completion in May 2025. My doctoral research involves extensive genomic and transcriptomic data analysis, utilizing next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques to study plant-associated microbiomes. Through my work, I have developed proficiency in R, Python, SQL, QIIME, and MEGA, along with expertise in machine learning applications for biological data interpretation.
    In addition to my research, I have a Master’s in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology and professional experience as a Senior Research Fellow at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute. In this role, I worked on microbial technologies, focusing on genetic data analysis, biostatistics, and bioinformatics pipelines. My responsibilities included designing and implementing data-driven models, performing large-scale genomic comparisons, and generating visual reports to support decision-making in microbial ecology studies.
    My technical expertise includes:
    – Data analysis and visualization using Python (Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, Seaborn) and R (ggplot2, dplyr, tidyverse)
    – Processing and interpreting large-scale NGS datasets
    I am particularly drawn to this opportunity at IIT BHU because of its strong emphasis on data-driven research and interdisciplinary collaborations. My analytical skills, combined with my ability to translate complex datasets into actionable insights, will allow me to contribute effectively to ongoing projects.
    I have attached my CV and relevant documents for your review. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experience align with the needs of your team. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
    Thank you for your time and consideration.
     
    Sincerely,
    Udita Pushpad
