I am in the process of applying to neuroscience phD programs and my professor suggested that I work as a lab tech for 1-2 years to get more lab experience. I am worried that these jobs are hard to find. I went to a small liberal arts college that does not have a grad school. I am afraid that the larger universities hire the students who went there as undergrads. I want to get additional experience in a neuroscience lab not just general lab tech duties. I checked out NIH health website and their program sounds good (research pre-phD) but I worry it is really competitive. Does anyone out there have any suggestions about this? Anyone taken this same route before applying to grad school? Anyone know anything about NIH programs?

Thank you everyone for all the advice. I am meeting with my advisors again soon. I almost feel like it will be just as hard to get the lab tech job as it is to get into a phd program.
