As you get closer to graduating, you may have a set course of action like graduate school or medical school. On the other hand, you might not, and that is perfectly ok. If you wish to stay in the Houston area and work in a research lab, below are several links that may help you find a job. As a recent grad, you are generally looking for positions titled “Research Assistant”; however, I would advise that you search for the field that you want first (e.g., neuroscience) and see if any other jobs work for you. Also, take job requirements with a grain of salt – it is entirely ok to apply for jobs that you don’t technically qualify for. The worst they can do is say no.
