<p>Dear Prof. Slice,</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>If you remember I was going to have a research visit or sabbatical during my PhD under your supervision. But unfortunately I could not do it by the time just because I did not have enough money for USA and I had to do it in Czech Republic while always I loved to be in your lab. I did my internship in University of South Bohemia, Czech republic and graduated my PhD degree in 2017. Now I am writing you in order to apply a possible PhD position under your supervision.</p>
<p>As a brief introduction of myself, I am bachelor of Plant Protection, master and PhD of Insect Biosystematics, University of Tehran, the first ranked university in Iran. I have worked on biosystematics of lady beetles and bee flies over my postgraduate years including geometric morphometric studies on different populations of insects. I conducted a lot of investigations with respect to different populations of insects based on method of Geometric Morphometric on wings, which made me really interested, experienced and advanced in this method in a way that I am professional user of software: TpsDig, Tpsrelw, Tpsreg, Digimizer, Mvsp, Spss, Minitab and so on.</p>
<p>I am really enthusiastic about geometric morphometric method and shape analysis so much that always I would love to enhance my knowledge about it and get lost in it under any name, PhD, Post doc, Researcher, second PhD etc. As the matter of fact, although I have already a PhD, names do not matter for me and I want to do just my interest, either it is post doc or second PhD or whatever.</p>
<p>I have been reading your articles. I have to say I love field of your work. That is why I am writing this letter to apply any possible PhD position with you. Please find attached my CV for further assess. I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you further about my qualifications.</p>
<p>I am looking forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Sincerely yours,</p>
<p>Rahim Abdolahi</p>

<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace">Mr. Rahim, I am currently in Vienna and catching up on emails. I am wondering if you have made any progress, found out any more information, or established other contacts at FSU. Another Iranian student here on a similar (same?) program said she was willing to communicate with you on this issue. I believe I sent her your email. Did anything happen?<br /><br /> I am afraid that on my laptop I have a great period of emails, including yours, that are missing.<br /><br /> Anyway, keep trying (see note in signature). I am happy to help if such a visit would be the best use of your time and resources.<br /><br /><span style="white-space: nowrap;">Best, ds</span><br /><br /><span class="sig">-- <br /><span style="white-space: nowrap;">Department of Scientific Computing, The Florida State University</span><br /><span style="white-space: nowrap;">Department of Anthropology, University of Vienna, Austria</span><br /><span style="white-space: nowrap;">Website: <a href="http://morphlab.sc.fsu.edu" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://morphlab.sc.fsu.edu</a></span><br /><span style="white-space: nowrap;">----</span><br /><span style="white-space: nowrap;">If a response is important to you, keep trying -> 50-100 msgs/day</span><br /><br /></span></div>
