Job Description
Departments Department of Electrical Engineering
Eindhoven University of Technology is an internationally top-ranking university in the Netherlands that combines scientific curiosity with a hands-on attitude. Our spirit of collaboration translates into an open culture and a top-five position in collaborating with advanced industries. Fundamental knowledge enables us to design solutions for the highly complex problems of today and tomorrow.
The mission of the Department of Electrical Engineering is to acquire share and transfer knowledge and understanding in the whole field of Electrical Engineering through education research and valorization. We work towards a Smart Sustainable Society a Connected World and a healthy humanity (Care & Cure). Activities share an application-oriented character a high degree of complexity and a large synergy between multiple facets of the field.
Research is carried out into the applications of electromagnetic phenomena in all forms of energy conversion telecommunication and electrical signal processing. Existing and new electrical components and systems are analyzed designed and built. The Electrical Engineering department takes its inspiration from contacts with high-tech industry in the direct surrounding region and beyond.
The department is innovative and has international ambitions and partnerships. The result is a challenging and inspiring setting in which socially relevant issues are addressed.
Short introduction
TheEU-funded ETAIN projectexplores the impact ofradio-frequency (RF) electromagnetic field exposureon planetary health. As part of this project youll play a crucial role in improving our understanding of RF propagation in the D-band (110-170 GHz) and its influence on RF-EMF exposure.
Job Description
Telecommunication networks emit Radio-Frequency (RF) electromagnetic (EM) fields using antennas. As networks evolve new technologies (such as new precoding techniques new frequencies (Ma)MiMo antennas smart surfaces etc.) are introduced into the network. One novelty in the network is the potential introduction of higher carrier frequencies in the D-band (110-170 GHz).
This position focuses on studying the propagation of EM waves at these frequencies using channel modeling propagation measurements and digital ray tracing. The propagation measurements will be conducted using a vector network analyzer with frequency extenders.
Here are the key tasks youll be involved in:
Collaboration and Quantification:
- Work closely with an interdisciplinary team of researchers atTU/Eand other research partners across the EU.
- Quantify propagation of RF electromagnetic fields through a combination ofchannel measurementsandray tracing.
Communication and Reporting:
- Communicate the results of your simulations and measurements to scientists from diverse backgrounds.
- Report your research findings and project outcomes to both the scientific community and thegeneral public.
- Create and maintainpublic databases and online toolswhere project results are accessible to everyone. These will serve as valuable resources for understanding and addressing potential health effects related to RF electromagnetic field exposure.
Project Organization:
- Ensure timely execution of project tasks milestones and deliverables.
Your contributions will significantly advance our knowledge in this critical area benefiting both human health and the environment. For more details visit theETAIN project website.
Job Requirements
We seek a dynamic and motivated individual to join our team within the ETAIN project. As a researcher youll contribute significantly to advancing our understanding of RF propagation and RF-EMF exposure. Here are the qualifications and qualities we value:
1. Educational Background:
- You hold a thesis-based doctorate in one of the following fields:
- Electrical engineering
- Physics engineering
- (Applied) Physics
2. Experience and Skills:
- Proficiency in any of the following areas is advantageous:
- Numerical simulations
- Use of (electromagnetic) measurement instruments (in particular vector network analyzers with frequency extenders)
- Scientific project management - A collaborative mindset and a willingness to work with other scientists are essential.
- Ability to conduct high quality academic research reflected in demonstratable outputs.
- A proven ability to manage complex projects to completion on schedule.
3. Team Player and Independent Thinker:
- You thrive in an international teamof researchers with diverse scientific backgrounds.
- Taking ownership of your research youll contribute to the projects success.
- Independence in tackling research topics is a key attribute.
- A team player who enjoys coaching PhD and Masters students
4. Effective Communication:
- Strongverbal and written Englishskills are crucial.
- Youll communicate results to both fellow scientists and thegeneral public.
- Good communication and leadership skills.
5. Professionalism and Work Ethic:
- Your commitment to excellence sound judgment and personal integrity are highly valued.
Join us in this exciting endeavor to explore the impact of RF electromagnetic fields on health and the environment.

Information
ETAIN is an EU funded project that aims to develop and validate approaches to assess the impact of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) from a human and planetary perspective while exploring options for exposure reduction. The full process promotes interactions with citizens and stakeholders to better understand exposure levels and possible associated risks. ETAIN develops an app & a portal able to identify ones personal exposure to RF-EMF and to map exposure levels across European cities.
More information on the project and its consortium can be found here.
