Cover Letter:
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in the Senior Research Analyst position at E-Merge Tech, as advertised on BioTecNika. With a Ph.D. in Biotechnology, over six years of hands-on research experience, and a strong background in scientific literature curation and biomedical data analysis, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your team.
During my tenure at the ICMR-National Institute of Malaria Research, I led multiple projects involving molecular diagnostics and bioinformatics-based analysis of malaria pathogens. My responsibilities included reviewing and curating peer-reviewed literature, maintaining data integrity, and effectively communicating findings through reports and publications. I have co-authored and first-authored several research articles in international journals and have consistently demonstrated strong analytical and writing skills—qualities that align closely with the responsibilities of this role.
What attracts me most to this opportunity at E-Merge Tech is the emphasis on structured literature review, scientific communication, and quality control of biomedical content. I take pride in my ability to work both independently and collaboratively to deliver data-driven insights and high-quality outputs. I am confident that my attention to detail, organizational abilities, and scientific acumen make me a strong fit for your team.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your organization’s continued success. Thank you for considering my application.
Sincerely,
**Sonalika Kar**
