Iker studied at the University of the Basque Country, where he obtained the degrees of Bachelor of Arts in English Philology and German Philology, having been decorated with the award to the best bachelor thesis in the second case. He later on acquired a Masters Degree in Theoretical Linguistics, going on to conclude his studies by defending a doctoral thesis on the syntax of Old Saxon, an understudied ancient Germanic language.

Iker has spent month-long study and research stays at the Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Universität (Frankfurt am Main, Germany) and Ghent University (Ghent, Belgium), where he has collaborated with notorious researchers in the field of linguistics. His interests cover syntax, language typology and historical linguistics, both in general and as applied to individual languages, on which he has published several papers in national and international publishing sites.

Currently Iker is a faculty member at the Department of Human and Education Sciences at the Public University of Navarre, where he has been teaching Basque since 2018. He is dedicated to investigating the syntax and morphosyntax of various languages in the world, from a comparative as well as diachronic perspective.
