Markéta Odlová |

Hello and welcome!

I am an interdisciplinary social scientist interested in the politics of identity, civil-military relations, and citizenship, as well as civic and political engagement. In my research, I employ a mixed methods approach by integrating qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. I have experience in employing various interviewing techniques and planning and executing fieldwork in conflict-affected regions. I am dedicated to conducting creative, collaborative and inclusive research that generates social impact.

I am currently a final-year PhD Candidate at the Department of Political Science at Trinity College Dublin. I hold a BA in Political Science and EU Studies from Palacky University Olomouc and an MA in International Relations from Charles University Prague.

As the submission of my PhD dissertation Essays on the Impact of Military Recruitment Policies on Gender and Ethnic Relations approaches in September 2024 🎓, I am currently seeking a position as a (postdoctoral) researcher or analyst, with experience and skills adaptable to academia, government, NGOs, or the private sector.

For further details about my research, teaching experience, and professional background, please refer to my CV or reach out to me at odlovm@tcd.ie.
