Cover Letter Mr. John Doe, Ph.D. I am writing to apply for the position of Assistant Professor of Literature in Department of Comparative Literature at Marilia University, as advertised on MU website. Please, find my resume. I am currently doctoral candidate (Ph.D. program) at University of Campinas and fully expect to complete my Ph.D. degree requirements by January 2013. I’m very interested in obtaining a faculty position at Marilia University, as its African Portuguese-Speaking Country has a stellar reputation that is known in Brazil. I reckon that my last experience as teacher and my extensive academic production can be useful to increase MU academic production and bring some Seminars and Congress with regard to Post-colonial Theory and Critic. My Ph.D dissertation deal with some problems from scholarship literary criticism, and intend to understanding how the post-colonial critic overcome the ancient erudition. This is an area of knowledge that has increased more in recent decades, but the Brazilian critic literature has not a large tradition in this area. Therefore, I feel MU can take the lead, being the first in São Paulo State to begin and promote a serious and well-constructed research center for Post-colonial theory and critic. I would like to discuss with you some points of my cover letter and my resume. Sincerely Luís Martini, Msc.
