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: What have we learned from Minamata Bay? Experts draw lessons from mistakes that delayed regulation of mercury pollution  moreGut bacteria transform inorganic arsenate leading to more toxic arsenic species Bacteria living in the human gut can increase the toxicity of arsenic ingested from contaminated food and water, suggesting a need to rethink the health risks associated with arsenic exposure. moreICP-MS Analysis Suggests Metal-Binding Proteins Significantly More Abundant Than Thought A study led by researchers at the University of Georgia demonstrated that the metalloproteome of the microorganism Pyrococcus furiosus likely contains twice as many proteins as was previously thought. moreNanoscale Metal-Organic Frameworks (NMOFs): A new way to create better MRI Contrast Agents Developing more sensitive methods of biomedical imaging that are effective with minimal amounts of contrast agents and side-effects is an important challenge in the early and accurate diagnosis of illnesses. Prof. Wenbin Lin of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill now reports about the possibilities provided by Nanoscale Metal-Organic Frameworks (NMOFs). 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 Helmholtz Zentrum Muenchen; Short Term Marie Curie Fellowships for PhD students in Environmental Chemistry Investigation of the influence of chemical speciation on the accuracy of QSPR/QSAR models: The biological activity and fate properties of chemicals can drastically change depending on whether ionic or neutral forms of molecules are present in the environment. The difficulties with this task are frequently connected to low accuracy of existing methods to predict dissociation constants of molecules. The pKa model or otherwise calculated dissociation constants and/or experimental dissociation constants of molecules will be used to address this question and explore whether use of chemical speciation can increase accuracy of QSPR / QSAR models. moreUMCES - Chesapeake Biological Laboratory in Solomons, MD; Lanthanide uptake in aragonite and calcite Three years of NSF funding for a Ph.D. student is immediately available at the UMCES - Chesapeake Biological Laboratory in Solomons, MD. Focus of the research is lanthanide uptake in aragonite and calcite, and its use in ocean acidification studies. moreUniversity of Liverpool: Iron speciation and humic substances in seawater It is proposed that the student in this project makes a detailed study of the chemical speciation of iron and the concentration of iron-binding HS. Previous work has demonstrated the presence these ligands in Liverpool Bay and the Irish Sea. We will now concentrate on the estuary of the Mersey as a source of these ligands. The work may be extended to the Irish Sea. Samples will be collected during cruises with the University research vessel or the Environment Agency. morePostdoctoral ESRF: X-Ray Microscopy Beamline ID21 The Experiments Division of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility is looking for a Post-doctoral fellow (m/f) for the X-Ray Microscopy Beamline ID21. moreUniversity of Cologne, Botanical Institute: Ionomics of mycorrhizal plants The Botanical Institute of the University of Cologne is currently looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral scientist to join our research on ionomics of mycorrhizal plants. moreWageningen University, NL: Biosensor nanoarrays for environmental monitoring (BIOMONAR) The Department of Physical Chemistry and Colloid Science of Wageningen University NL has two openings for postdoctoral fellows (2 yrs). The two positions are available within the framework of the new EU project on Biosensor nanoarrays for environmental monitoring (BIOMONAR). The intended research work is concerned with the development and application of arrayed sensor matrices in the dynamic analysis of inorganic, organic and nanoparticulate pollutant species in aquatic media. moreUmea University, Sweden: Mercury Biogeochemistry We now seek a postdoctoral researcher to conduct fundamental studies on mercury-sulfide chemistry in controlled model systems. moreOther AQura, Hanau, Germany: Arbeitsgruppenleiter (m/w) für den Bereich ICPMS Die AQura GmbH, ein Unternehmen von Evonik Industries, sucht für die Anorganische Analytik am Standort Hanau-Wolfgang einen Arbeitsgruppenleiter (m/w) für den Bereich ICPMS. moreLGC, UK: Science Leader – Inorganic and Isotope Ratio Analysis LGC is searching for an experienced research scientist to lead the Inorganic & Isotope Ratio Analysis group within its Chemical Measurement & Calibration team. moreLGC, UK: Science Leader - Speciation Analysis LGC is searching for an experienced research scientist to lead the Speciation Analysis group within its Chemical Measurement & Calibration team. moreLGC, UK: Researcher - Speciation Analysis Due to recent growth, LGC is searching for a Researcher to join the Speciation Analysis group within its Chemical Measurement & Calibration team. moreGE Global Research - Niskayuna, NY: Analyst You will work with GE Global Research and GE business technology teams to execute research projects using elemental analysis and related methods to study the composition of GE materials systems, including metals, ceramics, composites, polymers, and biomaterials. more |
| DIRECTORY |

EVISA's directory of scientist is a versatile tool to facilitate contact with scientists in the field of speciation and related sciences. The directory is fully searchable for names, addresses, research topics etc. You should bookmark this directory as an always up-to-date address book. (In order to hinder SPAM robots for collecting the E-mail accounts, we hide them in a special format). More than 265 active scientists in the field of speciation analysis already joined the directory. Join this great directory that is extensively linked to all type of other information on this site, such as homepages, conferences and literature. If your entry is still missing in this directory, please contact us at info@speciation.net. more |
