-Understand the expectations from each of your supervisors
-Prioritize the tasks (In case of conflicts, discuss with your bosses and take your best shot )
-Have frequent interactions, so that you are very clear on their needs to avoid any rework
-Be ready to stretch your timings during the initial months

Only by collaboration conflicts can be resolved permanently. Schedule a meeting with the supervisors and come-up with a mechanism for handling such issues.

Yes, important they are very aware of each other's priorities and all of you can work together to plan yours.

Lay out your priorities clearly so you can see how they are overlapping / competing / etc.... Trello boards could help :)
