\u200bWelcome! The Landscape Genomics\u00a0Group at Nord University aims to understand local adaptation and adaptive potential in natural, human-disturbed and exploited populations. To do so, we study the evolutionary ecology and population genetics of various organisms across large and ecologically diverse landscapes. The results help us to determine how organisms persist, adapt to different environments, and diversify.<\/p>\n\n\n
The 2026 PhD course in Population Genomics at Nord University (course code : BIO9001) is held in Bod\u00f8 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, […]<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t
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 […]<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t

5-6 October 2023, Faculty of Biosciences and Aquaculture, Nord University (Bod\u00f8, 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 […]<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t
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, Bod\u00f8 (Norway). At 68 degrees north, Bod\u00f8 is a vibrant city lying within an area of magnificent nature. Bod\u00f8 is the perfect […]<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t
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 […]<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t
