Seeking Advice Re: Research Experience


swtster

Question

Does anyone know of any volunteer research positions that are open to non-students? Does quality over quantity hold true when it comes to research experience? 

Background: I finished undergrad a decade ago and I hold a professional doctorate degree. I would like to pursue a PhD in neuro beginning Fall 2021. I have a lot of clinical research experience but little laboratory research experience (similarly, all of my posters, abstracts, and publications are clinical). I was very fortunate to find a PI at a local university who was willing to take me on as a volunteer in their biomedical engineering lab. The projects are fascinating to me and many relate to my interests. However, given that I work full-time, I currently can only go in one day a week on my days off. 

I understand that programs want to see candidates with more research experience and I was thinking about volunteering in more labs eventually. However, time is not on my side and it's been difficult to find other positions since many (as I've been told in the past) are reserved for current graduate and undergraduate students. 

Any input would be greatly appreciated!
