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 former news with new links and information so that all news are actual all the time. TBT from antifouling paint is still endangering marine life, says WWF WWF Wildlife campaigners warned yesterday that tributyltin (TBT) used in antifouling paint on boats and ships is spreading pollution from the Arctic to the Antarctic.  moreParties unite on EU chemicals safety law (REACH) Green and liberal Members of the European Parliament in the Environment Committee pulled their weight behind Socialist Rapporteur Guido Sacconi to strengthen the Parliament's position ahead of a final round of negotiations on REACH. moreLinking atmospheric mercury to methylmercury in fish Scientists have, for the first time, demonstrated a direct link between the amount of mercury being loaded into a lake by atmospheric deposition and the amount of toxic methylmercury that accumulates in fish swimming in the lake. moreOSHA Issues Hexavalent Chromium Guidance for Small Businesses On October 2nd the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) issued safety and health guidance to help small businesses comply with the agency's new hexavalent chromium (Cr[VI]) requirements for general industry, construction and shipyards. moreReport Finds Mercury Contamination Permeates Wildlife Systems For years, wildlife scientists thought mercury was a problem only in fish. But a study released September 19th reported elevated mercury levels in 40 species, including polar bears, frogs, bats and forest songbirds. 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 Postdoctoral Trent University: Selenium speciation in sediments and its impact on mercury availability The Metalloid Speciation & Geochemistry research group at Trent University is looking for a post-doctoral researcher to study selenium speciation in sediments, and the mechanisms of selenium interaction with mercury. Through funding from industrial stakeholders, we will investigate the mobility and fate of selenium deposited in sediments, and how the encountered selenium species might interact with simultaneously present mercury species, using state-of-the-art analytical speciation methods in combination with geochemical laboratory and field experiments. moreTrent 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. moreOther Staff Scientist (Laboratory Manager) @ Harvard University Requisition Number: 26885 School / Unit: Faculty of Arts and Sciences Department: Earth and Planetary Sciences Location: Cambridge Type: Full-Time moreDiego 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. 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 FGSs core strengths. more |
