Dear Sir/Madam

RE:APPLICATION FOR RESEARCH ASSISTANT POSITION

Upon learning of your need for a Research Assistant, I felt compelled to submit my resume
for your review. With my 2+ years as a research assistant, I am confident in my ability to
oversee the completion of research objectives while managing multiple project deadlines. I
hold a bachelors of Arts degree in Economics at Makerere University. 

In the job listing, you state that you’re looking for a senior research assistant to conduct
literature reviews to develop hypotheses and develop research protocols for data collection.
In my current role as a research assistant at Provide and Equip Limited, I coordinated and
monitored data collection through surveys in order to conduct complex quantitative data
analysis. I also collaborated with the Program Manager to write up these findings and publish
them in a variety of venues (conferences, journal publications, etc.). I’m confident my
technical and topical skills will be an asset to the projects.

I have always been impressed by the cutting-edge research your team at the International
Rescue Committee consistently delivers year after year. It has encouraged me as a researcher
to continue to work on similar topics and provide the most accurate findings on complex
issues. Being part of your team and building on your great tradition of research is a dream
opportunity for my research career.

May we schedule a time to discuss how I can contribute as a research assistant while
maintaining your high-level degree of research?

Yours Sincerely,

Daphine Rachael Namugerwa
