+After two years of cooperation, I recently finished the final in a row of projects undertaken as consultant for UNU-WIDER and the ILO.
+I am glad to have happened upon your job posting for the position of project officer as part-time worker with minimum 32 hours, as for me it may allow a more medium term stability than the previous short-term freelance positions did.
+
+Over the previous two years, I have primarily provided research assistance for three major projects under the helm of the UN, the ILO and Roskilde University:
+In addition to the descriptive analysis undertaken for all of these projects,
+my consultancy for UNU-WIDER required the creation of a time-series visualization on the basis of empirical analysis over roughly 200.000 observations within the UN's WIID dataset.
+The previous work for the ILO and Roskilde University instead consisted of deep research for the creation of wide-ranging scoping reviews,
+which necessitated collecting, organizing and cleaning datasets of around 2000 source potentials.
+I accomplished both of these tasks more efficiently with the help of Python and its data analysis modules which is also where my primary statistical programming focus lies.
+
+Additionally, I have long been helping publish academic, particularly empirical, works,
+first in the role of academic assistant and later on as editorial consultant.
+Perhaps most personally beneficial for the current position was the publication of a large academic anthology under the SPIWORK project:
+During this time I worked with clients located internationally,
+collaborating directly to create clear and concise manuscripts for each individual topic,
+before merging the divergent aspects into a final coherent whole while also fulfilling publisher's formal requirements.
+I would love to bring both the analytical and editorial skillsets together in my new work, 
+to be able to push them forward in tandem.
+
+Lastly, my skills of communication, especially international communication skills, have been honed throughout this time as I was both participant and leader of small (from 3 people) to medium-sized (up to 8 people) teams.
+Collaboration in this way was both exciting and straightforward for me,
+and I firmly believe concise and clear communication both engenders easier productivity flows
+and is fundamental to the ability to precisely frame topics as complex as energy transition.
+
+My interactions with processes of both long-term energy planning and renewables-based electrification of end-use sectors primarily stem from research undertaken in Vietnam and Benin under the helm of the Agence française de développement,
+where the eventual distributional impact of access to clean water and new energy grids provided the project's focus.
+I have, however, both the willingness and curiosity to dive deeper into these topics and their related issues of regulatory frameworks, financing and policy framing.
+
+I will be happy to hear back from you and am confident that I could be a good match.
+Should you agree that my profile is a good fit for the offered position then do not hesitate to contact me and I would be delighted to arrange a meeting.
