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. With all the links to further information and publications the News archive is a valuable collection of "hot topics" in speciation analysis. We continuously update even "old" news with new links. Sulfur fuels the methylation of mercury Researchers have long worked under the premise that sulfate-reducing bacteria are responsible for the production of methylmercury. Now, the first large-scale field experiment on the interactions of mercury and sulfate in wetlands, described in the June issue of Environmental Science & Technology, provides the most persuasive evidence yet that acid rain increases production of MeHg.  moreScientific journal adds fuel to ongoing chromium debate The "Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine" is planning to retract a 1997 paper that claimed no link between drinking water polluted with toxic chromium and cancer incidence. The decision comes after editors discovered that much of the paper was put together by consultants hired by a public utility that was at the time being sued for allegedly endangering California residents through chromium pollution. moreMethylmercury in fish: Can you cook it out ? Methylmercury is a lot more toxic than inorganic mercury. Unfortunately most mercury found in fish is in the organic form. An interesting question is, whether food processing such as cooking or frying can alter the ratio of inorganic/organic mercury within the fish meal. more |

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. Many laboratories and research facilities (from Greenland to Crete) have already found their highly educated stuff through this service by EVISA. 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 Trent University: Trace metal speciation and analytical method development A position is available immediately for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Trent University, Peterborough, Canada. Applicants should have an interest in trace metal speciation and analytical method development, with demonstrated experience with ICP-MS. moreUniversity of Crete: Marie Curie PostDoc A Marie Curie Postdoctoral fellowship is available immediately with our Group at the University of Crete to conduct research into the development and application of advanced analytical chemistry techniques for characterizing novel metal species in biological and environmental samples (metal speciation analysis) and for investigating their interactions with biomolecules. moreNational Cheng kung University, Taiwan: Inorganic Isotopic Lab A post-doctoral position is available in the Inorganic Isotopic Lab at Department of Earth Sciences, National Cheng kung University, Taiwan. The candidates are expected to carry out geochemical and/or environmental projects. moreFrontier 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 Diego State University: Technician The Department of Geological Sciences at San Diego State University is hiring a mass spectrometry and clean laboratory technician to support our research in Isotope Geochemistry. moreArmed Forces Institute of Pathology: Laboratory manager The division of Biophysical Toxicology at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology is seeking a Laboratory Manager to oversee and maintain the running of their trace metal analysis and vibrational spectroscopy laboratory. moreUniversity of Kansas: Laboratory Technician The (U-Th)/He Laboratory in the Department of Geology at the University of Kansas invites applications for a laboratory manager or technician with experience in geochemistry or inorganic chemistry. The appointment will begin on June 1, 2006, with a later starting date possible. moreAnalytical Chemist There is an open position in the analytical sciences laboratory at the General Electric Global Research Center located in Niskayuna, NY. moreFrontier Geosciences: Senior Scientist/Principal Investigator Frontier GeoSciences, Inc., (FGS) is expanding its applied research program on trace element chemistry in the environment. Recognized internationally as a leader in the analytical chemistry of mercury in natural waters since its inception in 1992 and with one of the leading research programs in the atmospheric chemistry of mercury, FGS is looking to hire two senior or principal scientists with nationally recognized research programs to complement and take advantage of FGS’s core strengths. moreICP-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).
