Academic Staff
The Core Academic Group (Núcleo Académico Básico, NAB) of the Doctorate Program consists of eleven full-time faculty members holding doctoral degrees and affiliated with the Faculty of Biological and Agricultural Sciences. Eighty percent of the NAB members are recognized by the National System of Researchers (Sistema Nacional de Investigadores, SNI), and 100% hold recognition from the Professional Development Program for Higher Education (PRODEP).
In addition to the NAB, the program includes participation from full-time and part-time faculty members affiliated with the Faculty, as well as professors and researchers from other entities within the Universidad Veracruzana and other national and international universities. These collaborators contribute to teaching educational experiences, supervising or co-supervising thesis work, and serving on evaluation committees.
