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. Methylmercury contamination of fish warrants worldwide public warning The health risks posed by mercury-contaminated fish is sufficient to warrant issuing a worldwide general warning to the public-especially children and women of childbearing age-to be careful about how much and which fish they eat.  moreThermo Scientific 2007 Seminar: Trace Elemental Analysis Made Easy! Being successful at elemental analysis in your laboratory goes far beyond just the choice of instrumental method. Modern laboratories face every day challenges in terms of efficient sample preparation, guaranteeing interference free analysis, validation of instrument performance and data along with reporting of data to specific requirements. We've combined everything you need to know about recent advances in elemental spectroscopy, including AA, ICP and ICP-MS presented in simple easy-to-understand terms. moreElevated Arsenic Levels Found In Rice Grown In South Central States of the USA The largest market basket survey of the arsenic content of rice grown in the United States has found elevated levels of arsenic in rice produced in the South Central part of the country, scientists report in an article scheduled for the April 1 issue of ACS’ journal Environmental Science & Technology. moreNew research results suggest that mercury hotspots in the northeastern US are home made EPA analysis inadequate and Clean Air Mercury Rule could perpetuate biological mercury hotspots Scientists released the results of two new studies that identify five known and nine suspected biological mercury hotspots in northeastern North America and for the first time link them directly to causes. The authors pinpoint U.S. coal-fired power plants are the major source of the problem and document new ways that airborne mercury emissions can cause biological hotspots — namely in watersheds sensitized by decades of acid rain and reservoirs manipulated for power production. New results reveal that EPA’s mercury deposition estimates near one hotspot are far too low. 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 Marie Curie Research Training Network on Geogenic Chemicals in Groundwaters and Soils AquaTRAIN is inviting applications for 12 early stage researcher posts (all of which may lead to the award of a PhD or European PhD) and for 3 experienced researcher (post-doctoral research assistant) posts. moreThe Open University, Milton Keynes, UK: Speciation of U and Th in groundwater The Department of Earth Sciences at The Open University (Milton Keynes, UK) has an open position for a PHD student in the project "Speciation of U and Th in groundwater: challenging ‘established wisdom’ in U-series dating of authigenic minerals". moreGSF: Manganese Speciation and Neurotoxicity The group of Dr. Bernhard Michalke "Elements and Element Species" of the Institute of Ecological Chemistry (IÖC) is looking for a PhD Student (d.20/06) for their research project Manganese Speciation and Neurotoxicity. morePostdoctoral 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. moreMarie Curie Research Training Network on Geogenic Chemicals in Groundwaters and Soils AquaTRAIN is inviting applications for 12 early stage researcher posts (all of which may lead to the award of a PhD or European PhD) and for 3 experienced researcher (post-doctoral research assistant) posts. moreTrent University: Selenium speciation in flue gas scrubber waters The Metalloid Speciation & Geochemistry research group at Trent University is looking for a post-doctoral researcher to study selenium speciation in flue gas scrubber waters at coal-fired power plants. Through funding from industrial stakeholders, we will identify and quantify major Se species in these process waters, using state-of-the-art analytical speciation methods in combination with geochemical and synthetic laboratory experiments. moreLaboratory of Physical Chemistry and Colloid Science, Wageningen University NL, Postdoc position in ECODIS We are looking for a candidate with (i) an internationally acknowledged PhD in environmental analytical/physical chemistry, (ii) experience with dynamic speciation methodology, and (iii) knowledge of bioaccumulation processes. moreOther Tenure Track Faculty Position in Environmental Geochemistry Department of Earth Sciences, Memorial University The Department of Earth Sciences, Memorial University of Newfoundland invites applications for a tenure track faculty position at the assistant professor level in the broad field of environmental geochemistry (Ref.: VPA #EASC-2006-001). moreMATIS ohf, Reykjavik/Iceland: Analytical Chemist Matis ohf in Reykjavik/Iceland is searching for an Analyitcal Chemist with experience in trace element determination and trace element speciation using ICPMS and HPLC-ICPMS. moreUC Davis Interdisciplinary Center for Plasma Mass Spectrometry: Full-time support of an MC-ICP-MS instrument The UC Davis Interdisciplinary Center for Plasma Mass Spectrometry announces an immediate opening for a full-time technical position in support of the Multicollector Inductively-Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (MC-ICPMS). more |
