ArcEcoGen – Arctic Ecosystem Genomics

A UiT Aurora Center - Now hiring multiple positions, see below for details

ArcEcoGen  is committed to understanding changes in northern ecosystems over time, focusing on the roles of climate living organisms and humans. Using cutting-edge genomic tools, we explore and reconstruct diverse biological communities from land, freshwater, and coastal environments from the Early Holocene (11,700 years ago) to the present day. Our team is at the forefront of developing methods within environmental DNA (eDNA) and sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) investigating biodiversity-environment interactions, enhancing Arctic heritage management, and supporting conservation. Through providing world-class eDNA and sedaDNA analysis services for soils and sediments, ArcEcoGen stands as a leading center in ecosystem genomics nationally and globally.

Our research focuses on five main areas:
