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. REACH enters into force Today is an important day for the European chemical industry, a significant milestone for the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) and its continuing role in supporting the industry with one of the biggest regulatory challenges it has ever faced. From today the clock will start ticking and there will be just 18 months to comply with the requirements of the pre-registration phase for approximately 30,000 substances. After that, the registration process begins with other tight deadlines.  moreTrivalent Chromium supplemention no help in controlling diabetes People with type 2 diabetes often take chromium supplements to help keep their blood sugar levels under control, but new findings from a Dutch study raise doubts about the value of this approach. moreHexavalent Chromium in Drinking Water Causes Cancer in Lab Animals Researchers announced yesterday that there is strong evidence a chemical referred to as hexavalent chromium, or chromium 6, causes cancer in laboratory animals when it is consumed in drinking water. The two-year study conducted by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) shows that animals given hexavalent chromium developed malignant tumors. 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 Clemson University: Analytical Methods Development A postdoctoral position is being filled through the Department of Chemistry and the Institute for Nutraceutical Research. This Postdoctoral Fellowship is funded by Gaia Herbs for the purpose of developing analytical methodologies to advance the science of heavy metals (and metals in general) as they apply to herbal dietary supplements. moreTrend 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. 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 MATIS 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 |
