"Postdoc In Wireless Propagation at mm-waves and sub-THz for Electromagnetic Field Exposure"

Job Summary: The EU-funded ETAIN project explores the impact of radio-frequency (RF) electromagnetic field exposure on planetary health. This role focuses on improving understanding of RF propagation in the D-band (110-170 GHz) and its influence on RF-EMF exposure through channel modeling, propagation measurements, and digital ray tracing.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of researchers at TU/E and other EU partners to quantify RF electromagnetic field propagation using channel measurements and ray tracing.
• Communicate simulation and measurement results to scientists from diverse backgrounds and report findings to the scientific community and the general public.
• Create and maintain public databases and online tools for accessing project results related to RF-EMF exposure.
• Ensure timely execution of project tasks, milestones, and deliverables.

Qualifications and Requirements:

• Hold a thesis-based doctorate in Electrical Engineering, Physics Engineering, or Applied Physics.
• Proficiency in numerical simulations, use of electromagnetic measurement instruments (e.g., vector network analyzers with frequency extenders), and scientific project management.
• Demonstrated ability to conduct high-quality academic research and manage complex projects.
• Thrive in an international team, take ownership of research, and enjoy coaching students.
• Strong verbal and written English skills, along with good communication and leadership abilities.
• Commitment to excellence, sound judgment, and personal integrity.

What the Employer Offers:

• Fixed-term contract for 2 years at Eindhoven University of Technology.
• Full-time employment with a salary range of €4,241 to €5,538 per month, in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, scale 10.
• A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
• High-quality training programs, excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care, sports facilities, partially paid parental leave, commuting allowance, and support for international candidates including the 30% tax facility.
