poopdeedoopdeedoop Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Hello, long time lurker here, finally fed up with looking at the same posts over and over again, so figured I might as well shoot my own shot: I've had my heart set on pursuing a Ph.d in neuro for a long time now, but my research exp. coming from a small liberal arts school and community college, has always been pretty lacking. For this reason I took what i deemed an L and went off to a masters program--NOT funded. Now I have been learning about these post-bac programs and they honestly seem to be a heck of a lot more credible than most MS programs for pumping out Ph.d candidates; espescially in terms of giving these individuals solid research background/exp. ANYWAYS, is it too late to apply to the NIH post bac programs? Would not being able to start until August or September eliminate my chances? Please excuse my typo's*** Edited December 22, 2018 by poopdeedoopdeedoop Throwawaydnf99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7layermagik Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 You can just apply for lab tech/lab specialist jobs as well and get good research experience. Obviously try to avoid the jobs where you will solely do drone work (i.e. mouse colony management/genotyping, tissue sectioning, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopdeedoopdeedoop Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Yes, I hear that. But I think it's a lot easier said than done. Especially for someone like myself who doesn't have tons/any exp. with any challenging/specific techniques--e-phys for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
