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. Mercury in Fish is a Global Health Concern Citizens' groups say problem warrants immediate United Nations action  moreNew Reference Material for Hexavalent Chromium in Contaminated Soil NIST has issued a new reference material to aid in the detection and measurement of the potent carcinogen hexavalent chromium in soil. The new reference material will provide a crucial benchmark for the high-quality chemical measurements needed to guide and assess cleanup efforts. moreUsing the right recipe for cooking rice reduces toxic inorganic arsenic content The content of toxic arsenic in rice not only depends on wherefrom you get the rice but also how you serve it; that is the result of a new study performed by a UK research group. moreTraceSpec 2009: Experts in Speciation Analysis will join in Mainz, September 15-18, 2009 While many people have the feeling that the number of meetings definitively is too big, those focused on speciation analysis are absolutely rare. TraceSpec is one of those, and with the 12th event scheduled in Mainz, it is a well established series of workshops. 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 Trent University: Mechanisms of arsenic leaching and transport in abandoned gold mine tailings The Metalloid Speciation & Geochemistry research group at Trent University is looking for a graduate student to conduct a Ph.D. or M.Sc. thesis project investigating the geochemical mechanisms of arsenic leaching and transport in abandoned gold mine tailings. Through funding from the National Science and Engineering Research Council, we will determine dissolved and colloidal As speciation in mine tailings (via ion chromatography or field flow fractionation coupled to ICP-MS), both in field studies (Nova Scotia) and in controlled laboratory experiments using Trent’s new Microenvironment Facility. The goal of the project is to quantify the individual physical and chemical forms of arsenic that contribute to its emission from abandoned gold mine tailings, determine environmental factors that influence these processes, and study the effectiveness of treatment technologies in reducing these emissions. morePostdoctoral Lancaster Environment Centre (LEC): Metal speciation in freshwaters A post doctoral research associate position, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council, is available to work on metal speciation in freshwaters at the Lancaster University. The appointment will be made at the Grade 6 or 7 level, depending on qualifications and experience. moreOther University of Bremen (Germany): Analytical Geochemistry The Geochemistry and Hydrogeology Group at the University of Bremen (Germany) seeks a to fill a position in analytical geochemistry (TV-L E 13). The position is somewhat comparable to that of an Assistant Professor in the US system. The successful candidate should have expertise in metal speciation using plasma-mass spectrometry coupled to liquid chromatography. Experience with magnetic sector ICP-MS is a plus, since we plan to couple an Element 2 to LC. morePhilips Research Europe: Analyst (temporary) Within the department Analytical Chemistry of MiPlaza, part of Philips Research, a temporary function is available until the end of 2008. Prolongation for 2009 is possible. moreTrent University: Senior ICP-MS Scientist The Worsfold Water Quality Centre at Trent University is seeking applications for a Senior ICP-MS Scientist. This is a full time permanent staff position, and is available immediately. Salary will be in commensurate with qualification and experience. moreNestlé Research Center (NRC), Lausanne, Switzerland: Project Manager / Inorganics analytical scientist Nestlé, a food, nutrition, health and wellness company aims to work with the best scientists in the world. To support its research strategy, the Quality & Safety Department at the NRC is seeking a: Project Manager / Inorganics analytical scientist who will drive the research and external collaborations in inorganics analytical sciences. He/she will also define analytical strategies to ensure an appropriate application and implementation of international norms, as well as manage recommendations to partners and follow them up. 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 250 active scientists in the field of speciation analysis already joined the directory. Join this great directory that is extensively linked to all tye 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 |
