Fri, 04 Sep 2026 11:00:08 GMT

Employer Name: UofG, College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences
Details: This role will be from October 2026 for 6 weeks (70 hours in total over the duration of the contract). To be eligible for this role you must be a finishing postgraduate student from academic year 2025/26 or current postgraduate student within the School of Health & Wellbeing, School of Geographic & Earth Sciences, School of Social & Political Sciences or School of Social & Environmental Sustainability. You must be based within the UK for the duration of your internship.Job PurposeThe successful intern will assist the ‘Glasgow maps for the future’ project team in developing the project.Background:Glasgow continues to face stark health inequalities, significantly shaped by the spatial, social and material conditions of the city. Our interdisciplinary team spanning healthcare, public health, and architecture came together through concern with how urban infrastructure, housing provision, mobility networks, access to services, and the wider built environment influence everyday experiences of health and wellbeing, and can reinforce intersecting forms of inequality. There are numerous digital resources mapping infrastructure and health determinants in the city but citizen engagement with these is limited.Our vision:Our ambition is to develop "Glasgow: Maps for the Future" - a set of physical visual resources mapping spatial and civic infrastructure connected to health and wellbeing across the city (including transport networks, community spaces, food production systems, green and blue public space, and vacant or derelict land) alongside wider determinants of health, including socioeconomic deprivation and environmental conditions such as air pollution. Our goal would be to combine best available digital data mapping approaches for Glasgow including the Environmental Digital Twin and Access to Healthy Assets and Hazards (AHAH) map alongside other datasets available from both the policy and academic spheres, but rather than creating another digital resource to focus on developing a set of physical maps supporting understanding and advocacy for communities most affected by infrastructural inequality. Accessibility and public usability would be central to the project. We would envision our maps being put up in libraries and other community spaces, being used by community councils and citizen activist groups. In this we are inspired by other initiatives such as Bill Rankin’s Radical Cartography and closer to home the Clyde Mapathon aligned with the ‘Who Owns theClyde’ podcast. Our goal would be to go beyond demonstrating inequality to galvanise change and present hopeful alternatives. Our eventual aspiration would be the proposal of one or multiple visionary infrastructure projects informed by this co-creative process aimed at redressing imbalances in our city.Main Duties and ResponsibilitiesUnder the guidance and supervision of the project team you will:Review and map existing knowledge: Explore and collate ongoing mapping activities, datasets, and initiatives across the University of Glasgow, Glasgow City Council and the city more broadly that relate to civic infrastructure for health and wellbeing. Identify areas of overlap and any gaps in current approaches.Consider new mapping approaches: Explore opportunities for bringing together different fields to create a set of physical maps with health equity as a unifying lens. Develop proposals for these maps which can be taken forward to a workshop involving experts and stakeholders from Glasgow City Council and civil society.Attend and participate in workshop: Date of workshop is fixed for Wednesday 7th October. You must be available on this date. The workshop is a valuable opportunity to engage with senior academics and policymakers in open dialogue.Create a report: of existing knowledge, mapping proposals and workshop outcomes which can be taken forward to the next stage of the project.
