公派访问学者套磁信该如何措辞?
对于“套磁信如何措辞”的问题。这个问题很难回答,因为每个人都有自己的文风、想法和特点。我在此简单分享一下自己写Email时的几个经验:
一、发Email尽量用自己单位的邮箱,或后缀为edu.cn的教育网邮箱。用hotmail、gmail等公共邮箱虽没什么大问题,但给外方导师的感觉还是不专业。而且,也显不出我前文所述的“组织优势”。试问:一个单位连自己的邮箱都没有,何谈权威?何谈领先?与来自这个单位的人合作,有何好处?
二、在Email标题中,用上"self-funded"这个词。大家也知道,国内有大把的硕士、博士生每天在积极地向外国导师发信争取奖学金;在这种情况下,使用"self-funded"这个词,就能一下子凸显公派访问学者无需对方出钱的巨大优势,外方导师何乐不为?
三、在Email中,一定要阐明四个方面:一是自己的身份及所想申请的职位,二是政府资助、无需对方出钱的事实,三是自己在专业领域内的研究经历和成果,四是自己要求对方做什么(即索要邀请函)。Email若能说明这四个方面,内容就比较完整了,就是一个我认为比较成功的套磁Email。
附上我的套磁Email,供参考。好不好用,用了就知道!
