EVISA is keeping you updated with what is going on in speciation analysis. In this section you will find news about the most current research results, about trends, legal issues and informations from manufacturers in the field of speciation analysis. Seasonal supply of arsenic to Bangladeshi groundwater Arsenic enters Bangladeshi drinking water from soil near the surface rather than from minerals within the aquifier deep underground as thought, say researchers. The finding suggests that there is an seasonal renewed supply of the poison to Bangladeshi water.  moreOne year EVISA speciation Newsletter - Two years of EVISA web site operation - Time to look back EVISA started to publish a regular monthly Speciation Newsletter in December 2004. Since then a small and slowly growing group of registered subscribers has followed our service, providing weekly news on all aspects of speciation analysis, events and vacant positions. moreREACH: A further step towards final approval The European Union Council of Ministers' agreed yesterday on a revised proposal for the "Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH)". The new system aims at ensuring greater safety in the manufacture and use of chemical substances by establishing an integrated system for the registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of chemicals. It is expected that REACH will help to fill the gaps in existing information on the hazardous properties of some 30,000 chemicals and to transmit the necessary information on the safe use of substances along the industrial supply chain leading to reduced risks for workers, for consumers, and for the environment. more |

EVISA is supporting the field with educational and training activities meant to improve in the medium- and long-term the knowledge and know-how of users. Well known scientists working in the field are giving the lectures as well as transferring the know-how during the hands-on part of the training courses. For learning about EVISA's current training activities please consult the following list of events that also provides more specific information and details for registration.
Since the number of places in these courses is rather limited, early registration is recommended !

EVISA provides information about open positions for Ph.D. students, PostDocs and permanent staff in the field of speciation. Looking to fill a vacancy or needing a new career challenge? Either way this service is FREE. If you would like to post an open position here, please contact us at info@speciation.net ! Doctorates Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Germany: Trace analysis of elemental species - Development of methods and applications Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, sponsored by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the State Rheinland-Pfalz, the International Research Training Group (Graduiertenkolleg) „Trace analysis of elemental species: Development of methods and applications“ offers 11 PhD-Grants from October 1, 2005 moreUFZ Halle-Leipzig: - Analytical Chemistry The Department of Analytical Chemistry cooperates in the field of “chemo dynamics“ and invites applications for a Doctoral Fellow in the field of Miniaturized Techniques in Environmental Analytical Chemistry. Analysis and assessment of anthropogenic impact to environmental relevant compartments are performed by the application of different techniques of analytical chemistry. The introduction of microsampling methods allows the distribution and local analysis of trace elements, metalloids and their species in samples of environmental interest. moreSwiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (EAWAG) A four year PhD position in Fe isotope geochemistry in aquatic systems is offered at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag). The project is joined with the isotope geochemistry group in ETHZ (Switzerland). The position is available immediately. morePostdoctoral Frontier Geosciences: Elemental Speciation Specialist Frontier GeoSciences, Inc., seeks an ICP-MS post-doctoral candidate for advanced and novel analytical method development. Primary responsibilities will be for developing hyphenated ICP-MS analysis techniques including customized application and method development for special projects. moreUFZ Leipzig-Halle: Analytical Chemistry The department invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the field of Analysis of Solid Samples in Environmental Analytical Chemistry. Analysis and assessment of anthropogenic impact to environmental relevant compartments are performed by the application of different techniques of inorganic analytical chemistry. The employment of different analytical techniques allows the determination of trace elements (isotopes), metalloids and their species in solid samples of environmental interest. moreOther ICP-MS Technician or Research Associate/ University of Utah. A technical specialist position involving the management and operation of our Agilent 7500-CE ICP-MS is available in the UU Center for Water Ecosystems & Climate Sciences (CWECS). Responsibilities include instrument operation and maintenance as well as participation in research activities. moreFrontier GeoSciences: Chemist/Mercury Analyst Frontier GeoSciences, Inc. a progressive environmental research and specialty inorganic analytical lab in Seattle is searching for a Chemist/Mercury Analyst. moreIcelandic Fisheries Laboratories, Reykjavik, Iceland: Analytical Chemist The Icelandic Fisheries Laboratories in Reykjavik, Iceland is looking for an analytical chemist that can provide scientific leadership to their trace analytical chemistry laboratory. The main responsibilities of this analytical chemist would be to develop analytical methods for determination of trace elements (e.g. heavy metals, minerals) in biological samples. moreResearch Assistant at Frontier Geoscience Frontier Geoscince is looking for a research assistant with trace metals background. moreFrontier GeoSciences, Inc.: Quality Assurance Officer Frontier GeoSciences, Inc. a progressive environmental research and specialty inorganic analytical lab in Seattle is searching for a Quality Assurance Officer. Frontier's areas of expertise include ultra-trace metals analysis and metal(loid) speciation (primarily for Hg, As, Se, Cr, and Sb). Candidates should be extremely knowledgeable about trace metals analysis and have several years' experience at an inorganic lab. Strongly positioned for growth in 2005, Frontier is looking for a proven, innovative leader to join our team. more |
