Teaching
Courses
I coordinate the MSc courses:
- Principles of Population Genetics in Natural Populations
- Practical Computing for Biologists
I also teach in the MSc course Polar Ecology, and the conservation genetics part of the BSc course Conservation Biology.
Supervision of MSc and PhD projects
I supervise MSc research projects in our Marine Biology master programme, mainly projects aimed at marine conservation based on population genetic assessments.
Prospective PhD students/post docs
If you are interested in conducting a PhD or postdoc in our group, feel free to make contact.
