This is very true. I'm working in academia just now, I wanted to do something similar to the OP but found the only route open to me was to study for a PhD which I'm now doing. If you really want to go down that route you'll probably have to do something similar.
Not sure where the OP is based but this website might help if in the UK, I'm sure there are similar things around the world: http://www.jobs.ac.uk/
