Hi slinquii,

AAMC has an on-line tool for finding summer programs: (Summer Programs Web Database - Search). You should also check out the programs offered through the OITE at the NIH: (Home - Office of Intramural Training & Education at the National Institutes of Health). I would ask some mentors/professors from your undergrad institution for ideas.

Best wishes!

Sending out dozens of cold emails can work too.

Where can I find research opportunities as a post graduate? I have a bachelors in biological sciences and a minor in chemistry. Minimal lab experience in undergrad. I thought I was doing research as an undergrad but it was honestly just helping professor with pcr which I thought counted at the time.

There is a difference between intellectual contribution and grunt work. One gets you authorship on a paper the other just a repetitive task that saves your professor time and effort. You want to enter a research project doing the former and not the latter.
