PhD Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

The main objective is the training of researchers who have a broad command of the biological sciences in the areas of ecology and evolution and who are capable of making contributions to the advancement of this scientific discipline. Along with the above; It aims to make its graduates capable of leading scientific research groups and teaching at the highest level. The graduate of the Program is a researcher who has recognitions and competences that enable him to solve questions and problems in the field of ecology and evolutionary biology in a systematic,creative and independent way. He dominates the current theoretical frameworks and the different approaches and models in the study of biodiversity at different spatial and temporal scales,which enables him to recognize,identify and propose solutions to problems in the field of Ecology and Ecological Biology. This allows the resolution of scientific problems linked to the origin and dynamics of biodiversity at different levels of biological organization,through the different disciplines cultivated by the faculty that include population dynamics and genetics,behavioral biology,ecological physiology,paleoecology,biogeography,micro and macroevolution,conservation biology,among others. Graduates will be able to lead scientific research groups and teach at the highest level,becoming effective promoters of the development of these disciplines in both basic and applied aspects.
