What i did a couple of years algo is to approach a research lab of your interest, get in touch and try to get involved in a line of work of the lab, that usually means to work with some phd candidates, a postdoc or some junior researchers. If You stick around You should be on subject in a couple of months and ou can even get your name in some papel. You shouldn't be expecting the same involvment of a phd student, so you should keep showing up and trying to add value to the labs projects
