The candidate will be using geographical information systems to estimate historical and current exposure to ELF and RF electromagnetic fields from base-stations and powerlines for in particular a prospective cohort study consisting of 250.000 members of the general population. The methods to be developed should take into account both exposures at home, at work and elsewhere (commuting, etc.). Field studies in which actual EMF exposure will be measured in order to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of GIS-based exposure assessment methods will be integral part of the work.

The candidate will publish the findings as papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals. These papers will form the basis of the PhD thesis for the PhD student.

Up to five funded 3-year PhD Studentships are available in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematical Sciences, Electronics and Communications.
