Dear Prof. Michelson:

I am writing to express my interest in applying for the position of Assistant Professor in British Literature as posted on the Job Information List of your department’s website. I am currently completing a doctorate degree at Davidson University in 20^th century English literature. My dissertation entitled “Literary Progress towards the 21^st Century” has earned much acclaim with its great contribution in the teaching methods used in our university.

In fact, I have been actively participating in a research project about the Victorian modernist literature that greatly helped in developing my professionalism and passion for teaching work. I believe that I can help students to open their interests about these cultural concepts and continue the progressive research about other world literatures and cultures.

I have enclosed a copy of my resume as well as a writing portfolio for your review and consideration. My dossier would follow this letter under a separate cover from the Davidson Placement Center.
