I am a Duke Kunshan University junior student currently studying abroad at Duke for the semester and came across your intriguing research on flying monkey dragons in the Bahimi Islands.

As I am seeking opportunities for research for this summer, I am wondering if there are any available research positions in your lab that I would be a good fit for, or any other related positions that you could possibly connect me with.

I have done research in the past on flying monkey dragons and would love to learn more about their lifestyle in the Bahimi Islands as opposed to the Tarzan Jungles. I have also attached my resume if you would like to see more about what I have done.

Would you be available in the next week from 8am-10am on weekdays for a quick 20 minute meeting to talk more about your research as well as summer research opportunities?

Thank you,

Me

My name is Jane and I am a student in Professor Smith's Psychology 305 class. I'm writing regarding potential summer research opportunities with you. I am particularly interested in your research on cognitive psychology, especially memory theory and I am aware you have several projects running this summer.

I believe that with my Signature Work focusing on teenage memory, I would be a good asset to your research team. This would also contribute to the knowledge that I can then apply to my Signature Work.

I would be grateful if we could set up a Zoom call or phone call, at your convenience early next week to discuss feasibility.

Best,

Jane
