Fi Wi Road Internship 2025

The Fi Wi Road Internship returns for the fifth year with another exciting opportunity for Black and mixed-Black heritage geography students. Supported by the Royal Geographical Society, the British Society for Geomorphology, and the University of Birmingham we will be supporting pre-career researchers (PCRs) in paid part-time internships, from June to September 2025.

Through group sessions, one-to-one mentoring, skills workshops, and hands-on conference administration, the ‘Fi Wi Road’ project will support you in building networks, voice and experience within a discipline in which Black geographers are consistently under-represented, and often brutally marginalised and squeezed out.

Monday 17th March 2025

  • Yes! All interns are paid £15/hour. Any travel or accommodation costs are reimbursed.

  • The internship will run from June until September. Interns are expected to commit ~80 hours over the 4 month period.
