My biggest, loudest job application advice:

WHY do you want this job? This SPECIFIC job? What about it interests you? What do you think of it? What can you bring to it?

I know this sounds obvious but a generic cover letter isn't doing you favours - really. *Show me you know the job!*

Sequence the human genome
Put a man on the moon
Invent the internet
Solve protein folding problem
Decipher the complex immune system.

We tackled this question for temperate phages of Klebsiella — a bacterial pathogen — using a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and a massive protein testing effort.
