 Dear Sir/Madam, It is my pleasure to be applying for an academic position at your prestigious institution. As someone with many years of experience in teaching and advising students, I can be of great assistance to your institution. I have a great passion for teaching and obsessive interest in the field of public health / health education. Throughout my working years, I learned to be a good listener and an effective communicator. During my academic years, I worked with students and tried my best to assist them to solve any obstacles and problems they faced. I made sure to give my students the time they need to address any concern they have. My responsibilities also included making course schedule for the students, making course offering, reviewing the evaluation of students that are related to the teaching staff. One of my key pillarsfor success was careful planning. I earned my PhD and Master degree (Public Health/Health Education) from New York University, New York, USA. I also had a pre-med degree in Medical Laboratory Technology from Rochester Institute of Technology in New York, USA. I have worked on various research areas as indicated in my attached CV. In addition, I advise master students on their thesis in the field of public health/health education. I would like to thank you for your kindness and for reviewing my application in considering me for this position. I hope that if I had the chance to be part of your prestigious institution, I would be confident in my ability to demonstrate my teaching, management and research values and skills. I would be honored to be accepted and be part of your great institution. Sincerely, Khodr Awad
