Re: Application for Assistant Professor of Epidemiology
Dear Professor Okafor,
I am applying for the Assistant Professor position in Epidemiology. My work studies how neighborhood-level conditions shape access to preventive care, combining community partnerships with longitudinal methods.
At the Harbor Research Institute, I lead a four-site study with 1,200 participants and mentor a team of graduate researchers. I would be excited to bring that collaborative approach to Westbridge and contribute to your department’s community health program.
Thank you for considering my application. I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my research and teaching could support the department.
Relevant qualifications
- Secured $1.8M in multi-year research funding as principal investigator
- Published 14 peer-reviewed papers, including 6 as lead author
- Designed a community-partnered methods course taken by 90 students
Sincerely,
Nia Patel, PhD
Research Fellow, Public Health
