I am writing concerning the vacant position of research assistant accounting at Chicago University. I am highly inquisitive and analytical in collecting data, maintaining a database, conducting statistical analysis, and organizing results. The prospect of working at Chicago University as a research assistant thrills me, and I feel that I am the ideal candidate for this position.

I am highly competent, and I meet all the requirements to become a core contributor to your research team. I am a software engineer graduate from Fudan University and currently undertaking my postgraduate master’s in business analytics at Columbia University. I gained an excellent quantitative base and knowledge in my academic quest in advanced mathematics, linear algebra, discrete mathematics, statistics, and probability.

During my internship at Haitong securities, I successfully collected and analyzed target companies’ financial data in the textile and apparel companies through the wind financial terminal. I have also been engaged in collecting data with other research companies during my internship, including Price Waterhouse Coopers and Roland Berger, with great integrity.

As a research assistant professional, I enjoy participating in research-oriented projects to develop specific hypotheses and collect data. This year, I participated in a capstone project in UBS in a sentiment study on Robo Adviser Service and Morgan Stanley competition. I effectively applied my computer skills in different tasks for systematic Impact Investing with big data and AI.

I am glad for your time and consideration. I am eager to learn more details regarding this engagement at the University of Chicago.
