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. Arsenic-absorbing fern may soak up toxic metal to repel hungry bugs, UF researchers say In the struggle for survival, plants are often at the mercy of hungry animals – but one fern has turned the tables by using poisonous arsenic to reduce its appeal. This in short is the conclusion of a University of Florida research study published April 24 in the journal New Phytologist.  moreMore nutritious food helps reduce methylmercury in the aquatic food chain Research led by Dartmouth scientists found that aquatic organisms fed nutritious, high-quality food end up with much lower concentrations of toxic methylmercury in their tissues. The result suggests ways in which methylmercury—a neurotoxin that can accumulate to hazardous levels—can be slowed in its passage up the food chain to fish. moreNutrigenomics: The role of chromium for fat metabolism revisited In the first study to show that a specific nutrient could alter the expression of genes in the body fat of dairy cattle, a research team from Washington State University has raised the bar for animal production standards while adding to the greater understanding of human health issues. McNamara, professor in the Department of Animal Sciences and (intercollegiate, multidisciplinary) Nutrition Program, and Sumner, his doctoral student and postdoctoral research associate, have demonstrated that chromium in the diet changes the metabolism of body fat in dairy cattle by stimulating the expression of certain genes while simultaneously decreasing the expression of others. 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 National Oceanograpy Centre, Southampton: Iron biogeochemistry and ocean acidification 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. 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 Trend University: Advanced analytical research The Ontario Post-Doctoral Fellowship Program (OPDF) was developed to recruit and retain outstanding young scientists to spend two years as post-doctoral fellows in an Ontario research institution. Trent University's Worsfold Water Quality Centre has funds to recruit one OPDF in the area of advanced analytical research. The term for the position would be July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2009. The successful Fellow will receive $50,000 annually for two years. moreTechnical University of Denmark: Mass spectrometry of bioactive selenium compounds in yeast as a cell factory The National Food Institute-Technical University of Denmark invites applications for a postdoc position, which is available from June 2007 to December 2009. moreGrenoble, France: EUROPEAN SYNCHROTRON RADIATION FACILITY (ESRF) The X-Ray Imaging group is seeking to recruit a: Post-doctoral fellow (m/f) for the beamline ID22. ID22 is an undulator beamline devoted to high resolution X-ray micro-analysis and micro-imaging. moreNational University of Singapore: Inorganic Mass Spectrometrist The Department of Chemistry and the Department of Biochemistry at the National University of Singapore (NUS) is seeking for an Inorganic Mass Spectrometrist (TIMS OR MC-ICP-MS) to assist in the set-up of the new facilities for stable isotope research and inorganic mass spectrometry at NUS. Research will focus on the development and application of stable isotope tracer techniques to study absorption and utilization of essential elements in humans. moreTrent 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 University of South Florida: ICPMS/IRMS Instrument Technician The Department of Geology at the University of South Florida seeks a technician for a new geochemical analytical facility, which will include ICP-MS and IRMS instrumentation.
