The 2026 PhD course in Population Genomics at Nord University (course code : BIO9001) is held in Bodø from 23th to 27th of March 2026. The course consists of a series of lectures, demonstrations and hands-on exercises that cover theory and practice of population genomics analyses. Topics include population genetic theory, introduction to command line, […]

Too often we forget that not everyone has access to education, which is one of the UN sustainable development goals. Back in 2018, at an age that many people in Europe think about retirement, our collaborator Mulimbwa N’Sibula from the Centre for Research in Hydrobiology (CRH) at Uvira (DR Congo) finally saw a chance to complete

5-6 October 2023, Faculty of Biosciences and Aquaculture, Nord University (Bodø, Norway) Human population growth, high demands for resources, globalisation, and shifting climatic conditions are causing ecosystems to change more rapidly now than ever in the Anthropocene. Freshwater ecosystems, especially those in northern- and arctic regions are particularly affected, as many freshwater species have confined

Dear colleagues, We are looking for colleagues who are interested in applying for a MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship (https://marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/calls/msca-postdoctoral-fellowships-2023) to join the Landscape Genomics Group at the Faculty of Biosciences and Aquaculture, Nord University, Bodø (Norway). At 68 degrees north, Bodø is a vibrant city lying within an area of magnificent nature. Bodø is the perfect

By Marijn Kuizenga A new summer means a new season for field work! This season we are embarking on a project which aims to characterize mercury contamination in freshwater lakes across Northern Norway and study its effects on three-spined stickleback populations. During the summer of 2022 we are studying sticklebacks from 21 lakes scattered throughout

The extraordinary ability of animals to rapidly evolve in response to predators has been demonstrated via genetic sequencing of a waterflea population across nearly two decades. In a new study published in Nature Communications, together with scientists at the Universities of Birmingham in the UK, the KU Leuven in Belgium, and the Leibniz Institute for Freshwater Ecology and
