| Summary: | We aimed to learn the distribution according to gender, age, teaching seniority and scholarship degrees of teachers who fulfilled leadership positions in the Faculty of Natural, Chemical and Exact Sciences, since its creation. Of a total of 117 positions, 68% corresponded to men and 32% to women. Academic Deans, with a total of 24, had no women; Academic Vice-Deans, had 2.5 times more men than women (m/f); Academic Division, 1.6 times more m/f; Extension Division, 3.3 times more m/f; Research Division, 1.8 times more m/f; Graduate School Division, total 1, 1 woman; School of Nursing, 2.5 times more m/f. Between the period 1957-1997, we observed 11 women out of 60 total positions (18%); and, in the period between 1998-2022, we observed 26 women out of 56 total positions (46%). The current age at accepting the position was: women 48 years (42-54) and men 43 years (36-51.5) (p=0.055). Teaching seniority (in years): women, 23 (13.5-29) and men, 16 (10-23) (p=0.017). The distribution among Schools showed that: The School of Chemical Engineering held the majority of leadership positions (60%), followed by the Biochemistry Program (14%) and the Genetics Program (4%).
