I was informed of this valuable opportunity by Professor Name (change to professor/advisors real name) from the University of Delaware where I am working towards a doctoral degree in Analytical Chemistry. I expect to graduate in the spring of 2008. I have experiences that I believe qualify me for the aforementioned positions, including extensive research experience in design, synthesis, and purification of organic/ polymer materials from my PhD research. For example, I participated with four teams of scientists from various organizations (UMASS lowel, NREL, and KORNARKA) in the development of two dimensional thiophene based materials. This Ultra-high performance organic photovoltaic cell project was founded by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). In addition, the topic of my Masters thesis, Development of characterization method for synthetic polymers has prepared me for the chemist positions posted. Specifically, I developed a new technique using a temperature gradient to characterize and to purify synthetic polymers. As an industrial researcher at Samsung SDI Co., Ltd., I was responsible for new product development which I conducted from the initial research phase to the successful commercialization of the Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs). The enclosed resume provides details about my work experience and accomplishments. I would appreciate the opportunity to interview with you and discuss how my background and research qualifications can benefit Rhodia Inc. Please do not hesitate to contact me at the phone number or email address provided above if I can provide you with any additional information. I thank you for your consideration and look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely,
