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. Experts in Speciation Analysis came together in Münster, September 4-7, 2007 About 200 scientists from more than 30 countries joined September 4-7 in Münster for discussing the "Progress in Analytical Methodologies for Trace Metal Speciation".  moreSpeciation and Toxicity: Humic Acids Increase Lead Bioavailability and Toxicity for Marine Invertebrates A new study of an international research group is questioning the widely accepted "free ion activity model" FIAM that assumes that the free metal ion activity reflects the chemical reactivity of the metal, i.e., the extent to what the metal reacts with binding sites on the cell membrane surface, and hence its bioavailability and toxicity. According to the results of this new study, humic acids increase dissolved lead bioavailability for marine invertebrates. moreThermo Fisher Scientific Introduces Speciation Analysis Capabilities For High Resolution ICP-MS Bremen, Germany - Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a company serving science and supporting EVISA announces the addition of a new kit for coupling Gas Chromatography (GC) to the Thermo Scientific high resolution ICP-MS ELEMENT 2 and ELEMENT XR. 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 Department of Environmental Science, Lancaster University, UK: Aquatic Chemistry – Trace Metal Dynamics A post doctoral research associate position, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council, is available to work on the dissociation kinetics of metal complexes in freshwaters. The successful applicant will work in the research group of Professor Bill Davison and Dr Hao Zhang at Lancaster University. They will use a novel approach, based on the technique of DGT (diffusive gradients in thin-films) that was developed at Lancaster, to measure dissociation kinetics of metal-ligand complexes in situ. A systematic series of laboratory and field measurements will establish whether the kinetic signature obtained from a single suite of deployments (see ES&T 41, 2007, 3179) can be used to distinguish complexes of aquagenic and pedogenic origin. moreUSGS: Coupling geochemical and geoanalytical techniques to study processes affecting exposure to potentially toxic species that negatively impact human health The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) invites applications for the Mendenhall Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program for FY 2009. The Mendenhall Program provides opportunities to conduct research in association with selected members of the USGS professional staff. Through this Program the USGS will acquire current expertise in science to assist in implementation of the science strategy of its programs. FY 2009 begins in October 2008. 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 Actlabs, Ancaster, Canada: Analytical supervisor and laboratory technicians Activation Laboratories Ltd (Actlabs) has a number of openings in its ICP/MS and ICP/OES departments. Actlabs positions are in its Ancaster, Ontario, Canada laboratory (suburb of Hamilton and 80 km west of Toronto). 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 |
