Job Description

Title: International AI Research Fellowship

Industry: IT Services

Duration: 20 hours per month | Paid | 12 weeks

Net Solutions is looking for curious, analytical university students to join a small international research program exploring how AI is changing technology, commerce, marketing, and business. This is not a conventional internship. Fellows will work on real research questions that matter to Net Solutions and its clients. You will be given a defined problem to investigate, access to our team and relevant materials, and considerable freedom in how you approach it. We expect you to use AI extensively. We also expect you to question it.

Responsibilities

- Projects will vary, but examples could include:
- How companies in your market are adopting AI
- How AI is changing ecommerce and digital buying
- How businesses are preparing their content and product data for AI-driven discovery
- How leading companies are positioning new AI products and services
- How buyers are finding and evaluating technology partners
- Emerging AI tools, platforms, and business models
- Competitor and market landscapes
- Research into specific industries, companies, or technologies
- How AI-generated answers differ across markets
- New opportunities created by agentic AI and AI-driven commerce
- These are examples rather than a fixed curriculum. Each Fellow will receive a defined research brief.

Key Requirements

- Depending on your project, you may:
- Find and evaluate primary and secondary sources
- Interview or speak with relevant people where appropriate




- Analyze companies, competitors, and market developments
- Use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI tools as research partners
- Verify AI-generated claims rather than accepting them at face value
- Identify patterns and insights in the information you collect
- Produce concise written research
- Present your findings and recommendations to the Net Solutions team

- Able to work independently
- Valuable at turning a large amount of information into a clear point of view
- Students studying business, economics, computer science, engineering, design, marketing, journalism, social sciences, and other disciplines are welcome.
- TIME COMMITMENT
- The Fellowship runs for 12 weeks.
- Expected commitment is approximately 20 hours per month, or roughly 4–5 hours per week.
- There are no daily working hours. The program is designed to fit alongside university.
- Most work will be asynchronous, with periodic online meetings with the Net Solutions team.
- LOCATION




- The Fellowship is remote and open to university students based in:
- United States
- Canada

- Applicants should normally be studying and living in the market for which they apply.

- United States: US$500 per month
- Canada: C$600 per month
- United Kingdom: £350 per month
- Australia: A$600 per month
- South Africa: R5,000 per month
- The award reflects the expected 20-hour monthly commitment and participation in the 12-week Fellowship.
- HOW WE THINK ABOUT AI
- We are not looking for people who simply know how to prompt ChatGPT.
- We are looking for people who know when not to believe it.
- Use AI to explore, challenge, organize, and accelerate your thinking. But the evidence, judgment, and conclusions in your work remain yours.

Collaboration

- SELECTION PROCESS
- 1. Application
- Send us your CV or LinkedIn profile and tell us briefly about something you have researched, built, written, or investigated because you were genuinely curious about it.
- 2. Short research challenge
- Shortlisted applicants will receive a small research problem. You may use any tools, including AI.
- We will assess the quality of your thinking, sources, and conclusions rather than how polished the document looks.
- 3. Conversation
- Finalists will have a short conversation with the Net Solutions team about their research, how they approached it, and what they learned.
- The strongest Fellows may be invited to work with Net Solutions on future research or other opportunities.
