    Dear Professor Jane Smith,
    I am writing to apply for the postion of Assistant Professor of Anthropology:
    Evolutionary Social Science, as advertised on the American State University website. I
    am a graduate from Hayward University, and am currently a doctoral candidate at the
    University of Osford where I am due to complete my PhD requirements by May 2016. I
    am working on a dissertation under the direction of Dr John Jacobs. I believe that my
    previous teaching experience, partnered with my research in human behaviour and
    signalling theory make me a strong candidate for the position.
    As my Curriculum Vitae demonstates, I have taught a variety of ethnographic writing
    courses. My doctoral dissertation examines human congnitive ability and the
    socioecological underpinnings of behavioural variation, using qualitative survey-based
    research methods. I also run an ethnographic writing course at the University of Osford,
    mentoring undergraduate students in ethnographic data collection, analysis and writing.
    I seek to engage students by examining ways they can actively participate in class
    discussions, often using app technology and new collaborative platforms. I look forward
    to individual conferences with students, ascertaining their research direction and
    assisting in the composition of their theories and experiments.
    Prior to my academic career I worked as a photographer and filmmaker for various
    organizations for 5+ years. In 2012 & 2013, I taught a Visual Anthropology International
    Exchange program in Bangladesh using sound recording, photography and film. I
    beleive these skills provide me with a broad perspective of ethnography, enhancing my
    research methodology and passion for student engagement.
    I have enclosed my curriculum vitae, statements of teaching philosophy, research
    interests and reference letters. I would enjoy discussing this position with you in the
    weeks to come. If you require any additional infomation, please feel free to contact me.
    Thank you for your time and consideration.
    Sincerely,
    Sally Davis
