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. Scientists solve mystery of the two sides of arsenite Scientists have solved an important mystery about why an arsenic compound, called arsenite, can kill us, and yet function as an effective therapeutic agent against disease and infections.  moreUS EPA offers chance to speak out against hexavalent chromium The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has announced a 60-day public comment period and a public listening session for the draft human health assessment of a toxicological review of hexavalent chromium. The question for the EPA is whether to adopt a strict risk measure as California did or to adhere more to a less-stringent standard. moreThe European Chemical Agency (ECHA) calls for comments on reports proposing restrictions on mercury and phenylmercury ECHA has prepared a report, on the request of the European Commission, suggesting restrictions on several mercury containing measuring devices. A report from Norway is suggesting a ban on five phenylmercury substances. ECHA starts today the six-month public consultation period on these proposals. ECHA, however, encourages interested parties to send in their comments by 24 December 2010. moreOccurrence of monoethylmercury in the Florida Everglades verified A new study now confirms the presence of ethylmercury in soil of the Florida Everglades probably as the result of bioalkylation. 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 University of Kiel, Germany: Systematic Proteome Research In the Division for "Systematic Proteome Research" within the Institute for Experimental Medicine, at the Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel, Germany, a PhD-studentship (m/f) (Bioanalytics, Proteomics, Mass Spectrometry) is immediately available. moreHelmholtz 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 Universitat Rovira i Virgili,Tarragona, Spain: Bio-informatics and Chemical Engineering The Bioinformatics and Computational Environmental Engineering research group (BioCENIT), Department of Chemical Engineering at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain) invites researchers interested in joining several EU projects and co-leading new proposals in the areas of computational environmental chemistry and engineering, and bioinformatics, to apply for two research fellow positions. 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. moreOther LGC, 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: 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. moreAQura, 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. 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 |
