首先，你需要简要介绍一下自己，以及为什么你有兴趣在这个研究人员和实验室攻读博士学位。不要重复总结你的整个简历内容。邮件中应该先介绍你的现状：“我最近在YY大学完成了XX的硕士学位”，然后详细说明你的科研背景与你发电子邮件的教授/研究员的研究领域如何一致。

    谈谈你最近的科研经历，最重要的是突出你的研究兴趣，以及它们与你申请的博士学位方向一致。确保你了解你所联系的导师专业细分领域。例如，避免说“我联系你是因为你是气候科学领域的专家”。气候科学领域有成千上万的专家。你对气候科学的哪个领域感兴趣？你为什么选择这个特定的研究人员？最好提供直接涉及该导师及其团队的出版物和项目的具体细节。

    一定要提到你所拥有的技能，这些技能将使你成为这个研究领域的理想博士候选人。例如，在我的学科中，我们有兴趣招聘有编程经验的人，所以这是我想要的技能之一。不要向你联系的所有学者群发通用电子邮件（e-mail），要根据每位导师定制电子邮件。这不仅仅是简单地插入他们发表的论文标题。你需要展示你阅读过他们论文作品的证据，并说明为什么你对此研究感兴趣。

Dear Professor ideal-PhD-supervisor,

I am a master’s student in the Department of Excellent Science at Random University. I read with interest your paper on applying the sophisticated research method to advance excellent science and was particularly interested in your improvements to the sophisticated research method.

My master’s thesis has focused on using very impressive data set to inform the sophisticated research method. This work has been undertaken under the supervision of Professor master’s supervisor. We have found that very impressive data set significantly improves the performance of sophisticated research method, and I plan to submit this research to the Journal of Excellent Science. My thesis, along with my CV and academic transcripts are attached to this e-mail.

I am looking for PhD opportunities in the area of excellent science and write to ask if you are currently taking on new students? I am interested in exploring research opportunities that use even-more-sophisticated research method to discover new knowledge in excellent science. In addition to my skills in this area, I have a background in aligned discipline through my undergraduate degree, and I have also taken graduate-level courses in adjacent discipline.

Your research group is an ideal fit for my background and interests, and I welcome the opportunity to discuss possible PhD opportunities with you.

Regards,

Potential PhD candidate

E-mail 附件（个人简历） 

The attachments

To properly assess a PhD applicant, I need to see a CV and copies of academic transcripts, preferably in a PDF format. Your CV should list your education and relevant employment experience, details of any independent research components from previous degrees, any publications you might have, and a list of contact details for referees.
