    Please add sources for these claims.
    Please remove external links from the body of the article and instead convert them into references or a list of links in a section named "External links".

Kjetill Sigurd Jakobsen is a Professor at the University of Oslo, Norway [1], and a member[1][2] of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.

Jakobsen is the Chair of Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis (CEES)[3] at the Department of Biosciences (IBV)[4] at the University of Oslo (UiO)[5]

Jakobsen led the genome sequencing of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)[6], thereby adding it to the List of sequenced animal genomes and showing that this species as well as the other codfishes (Gadiformes) lack the central immune component major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II).
