Applicant Profile

The applicant must have demonstrable basic scientific training in at least one of the three lines of research of the program, which allows them to have a scientific vision of the origin and spatio-temporal dynamics of biodiversity and its sustainable use. Specifically, it is expected to be able to:

- Synthesize relevant ideas for your basic research on biodiversity. Which is evaluated in the first part of the admission exam with general questions associated with the research lines of the program.
- Apply a disciplinary theoretical framework on problems of biodiversity. Which is evaluated in the second part of the admission exam with the proposal of a project by the applicant.
- Bring the theoretical context or ideas associated with their research to different fields and study models. Which is evaluated in the first part of the admission exam with general questions associated with the research lines of the program and in the personal interview.
- Recognize their gaps in knowledge and be willing to improve it. Which is evaluated in the personal interview.

Graduate profile

Graduated with a strong scientific training in the study of the origin and spatio-temporal dynamics of biodiversity, with management of analysis and communication tools capable of contributing to the generation of new knowledge that allows understanding and explaining natural systems and their continuous interaction with the human dimension.
Specifically, it is expected to train Doctors who achieve:
- Generate and apply knowledge in the research lines of the program, recognizing new concepts and hypotheses that allow identifying gaps in the understanding of Biodiversity and addressing them through different methodological routes and critical analysis of the literature.
- Integrate the research lines of the program to model the spatio-temporal dimensions of biodiversity, and in this way strengthen the formulation and management of research projects based on teamwork and interdisciplinary study.
- Recognize and examine the importance of biodiversity conservation for the sustainable development of society.
- Communicate and disseminate your research and results in mainstream journals (ISI, WOS), specialized circles and the community in which it is inserted.
- Characterize and examine Biodiversity combining observational, experimental and comparative approaches with the theoretical and applied development of concepts and techniques from the biological sciences.
- Identify and integrate the contribution of scientific collections as the basis of Systematic Phylogenetic knowledge of biodiversity, valuing its heritage contribution and the need for continuous development for research.
