Hello Professor Andrew,

I am Prabha Shrestha, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Mathematics, Ohio University. My research is in statistics focused on the area "Dimension Reduction". I will be presenting a part of my research work in JSM-2019. 

I will be graduating in Fall 2020. So, I was wondering if the vacancy you posted is for freshly graduated Ph.D. holders or not? 

I have attached my CV with this email. Your advice, suggestions and any recommendations will be highly appreciated. 

Thank you!

Kind regards,
Prabha Shrestha
