I’m applying for a research assistant opportunity that UMKC School of Dentistry offer through the summer scholars’ program. They want a one page personal statement about my previous research experience, skills and abilities, and why I want to participate in the program.
Im from Kuwait and this opportunity is once In a life time because in Kuwait we lack the research facilities and it is very hard to do it there and I want to be an example for the incoming Kuwati students that we can be an example that might transfer this program in Kuwait. I don’t have a formal research experience, and this is fine with them but I have done two academic research in my undergrad years at umkc when I got my B.S Biology from there. The first one is a literature review about how diet affect the muscle of mastication through evolution (I will attach the paper as refrence). The second one was a group research in ecology lab and I will attach that one too. I will attach my personal statement that I sent when I apply for the dental school as well to have an idea about my strength and weakness
