Dear Mr. Donovan:

I am sending my resume at this time to be considered for your vacant University Lecturer position, which I saw posted on your department website today. I bring extensive presentation, research and organizational skills that I have developed over my 10-year academic career as a lecturer at various colleges and universities throughout the northeastern U.S.

Over the past decade, I have filled lecturer roles in several areas of science, including biology, earth science and microbiology. My interpersonal and communication skills have allowed me to build strong relationships with administrators, professors, fellow lecturers and other faculty and administrative personnel, leading to the effective development of course syllabi, classroom materials and program improvements.

In addition, I have utilized effective presentation and motivational skills to successfully teach students about various scientific concepts. The effectiveness of my presentations is evident in exam scores and positive student feedback.

The list below provides a brief overview of my career achievements that I feel underscore my qualifications needed to become a valuable member of your faculty:

Designed lesson plans for undergraduate biology courses for Allayne University

Served as main University Lecturer in Microbiology for Newhart College

Re-designed and maintained student data management system for earth science department of Miller State University

Published 12 articles in academic and peer-reviewed scientific journals
