Time and project management
17. 1. 2024, BIOCEV, Vestec u Prahy
Have you ever thought about how PIs handle all their workload? How do they manage their work, lab, grants, projects, students and life? And how did they learn to do it? We invited inspiring researchers to share their journeys in becoming time and project managers in science.
Registration
The workshop is open to all students. We believe it will be most beneficial for PhD students and post-docs from natural and technical sciences, however even motivated undergraduate students or students from social sciences and humanities may benefit from attending.
This workshop is co-organized with the Institute of Biotechnology of the Czech Academy of Sciences in BIOCEV with the support of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.

Department of Botany, Faculty of Science
Ondřej Mottl is an assistant professor at the Faculty of Science, Charles University. He mainly focuses on quantitative ecology, macroecology, palaeoecology, and community ecology with an interest in data science. He is currently working on developing state-of-the-art tools to study global biodiversity patterns and lowering the barriers to scientific exploration. He obtained his PhD in entomology at the University of South Bohemia and then he moved for a postdoc in Norway to work at the Department of Biological Sciences, University of Bergen.
doc. RNDr. Eva Muchová, Ph.D.
Department of Physical Chemistry, University of Chemistry and Technology Prague
Eva Muchová completed her master's and doctoral studies at the Faculty of Science of Charles University. After her maternity break, she started working at the University of Science and Technology, gradually as an assistant professor. She completed her postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Pisa in 2021. In 2023 she habilitated at the Institute of Physical Chemistry and is starting her own research group. Her work has long been devoted to theoretical modelling of X-ray photochemistry, focusing mainly on ultrafast processes in aqueous solutions. In her spare time, she enjoys family and sports.
