Postdoc Application Package

A postdoc application is not judged on your record alone. It is judged on whether your record is the thing this particular lab needs next.

Principal investigators read for fit before they read for pedigree. The strongest application makes the connection explicit: here is where your work ends, here is where their programme is going, and here is the overlap that makes you worth a line in their budget.

What you get

• Work on the specific lab you are targeting. What the PI is publishing now, what the group appears to be solving for, and where your methods actually meet it. The application is built around that, not around your CV in general.
• Your comprehensive Master Resume. Your complete career record in full detail, no length limit, yours to keep and keep adding to. It sits alongside your CV rather than replacing it: the CV is what a committee reads, and this is the master document every future version gets cut from.
• A research-centric CV that leads with methods and contributions rather than chronology.
• A cover letter written to the PI, making the fit argument directly instead of hoping it is inferred.
• A research statement setting out where you are going, which is the document that separates a candidate who is finishing a PhD from one who is starting a programme.
• Three people on your file at once: a lead writer, a technical specialist who reads your literature, and a separate editor who did not write the draft and whose job is to find what is wrong with it. You get the version that survived the argument, not the first one that looked finished.
• If a claim cannot be traced to something you gave us, we take it out and ask you.
