9 New Positions at IRAS, Utrecht University, NL.

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, we have successfully obtained several grants to study potential health effects of occupational, environmental and consumer exposure to electro magnetic fields. These studies address the exposure to stray fields from MR systems, RF-EMF from mobile phones, base stations, WIFI and DECT phones and ELF-EMF exposure from power lines and consumer products and will focus on several health outcomes
including cancer and neurological disorders. The research is being funded by the ZonMw National Research Programme on Electromagnetic Fields and Health and the 7th Research Framework Program of the European Union. The ZonMw research programme has also funded a chair in Epidemiology of Health Effects of Electro Magnetic Fields within IRAS.

The aim of the ZonMw National Research Program is to keep track of new and existing EMF applications, such as MRI, mobile phone and WIFI use and to enhance the national knowledge infrastructure in the field of electromagnetic fields and health. Research projects will be carried out in extensive collaboration with several national and international research institutions.

In order to be able to perform the studies within this new, ambitious and unique research field we are seeking inspired candidates for 6 PhD research positions, 2 Post Doc position, an assistant professorship and a data managament position (see attached PDF and links).

We would appreciate if you would be so kind to pass this information to any potential candidate that you might know that would be interested in any of these positions.

Warm regards,

Roel Vermeulen

Hans Kromhout
