Dear Potential Employer:

I am seeking a position as a computer professional, university/college
instructor, numerical scientific computing research associate or
postdoctoral research associate.

I have just completed my doctoral degree program and would like to resume
work in your department as soon as my application is granted.

I have 5 years teaching experience in mathematics, statistics and computer
science. I have taken courses in parallel computing methods, numerical 
solution of partial and ordinary differential equations, computational
fluid dynamics and optimization techniques. Although, my Ph.D. thesis is
concerned with numerical solution of Hamiltonian dynamical systems, I am pretty
comfortable with the above research areas. I also have considerable 
knowledge in UNIX operating system and molecular dynamics simulation codes.
I am self-motivated and would be able to make an impact in the teaching
and research activities in your department.

A copy of my resume which includes names of my references is given below.

I hope my application would be given a favorable consideration.


Sincerely,

Daniel Okunbor.
