Markéta Odlová | Trinity College Dublin

Hello and welcome!

I am a Political Scientist interested in the interaction of military and society, and ethnic and gender dynamics and inequality. In my work, I employ a mixed methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. I have experience in designing and using 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 and political impact.

I have recently submitted my PhD dissertation Essays on the Impact of Military Recruitment Policies on Gender and Ethnic Relations at the Department of Political Science at Trinity College Dublin (early September 2024). I hold a BA in Political Science and EU Studies from Palacký University Olomouc and an MA in International Relations from Charles University Prague, as well as significant international experience.

I am currently seeking a position as a lecturer or a researcher, with experience and skills adaptable to academia, 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.
