I want to do some researching ahead of mass producing some items – specifically I want to perform some material research and time efficiency research – however every station I've found with the facility to perform either of these research types always have no slots available, with the next slot being weeks from now.
What methods are available (preferably avoiding visiting every station in the game) to locate available research slots?

Pretty much every Research slot in the game is taken, and will be taken, for some amount of time. You can look for slots via the Science and Industry window, by opening up the advanced parameters and adjusting to look at entire regions at a time.
I high suggest that you place a P(layer) o(wned) S(tarbase) in HiSec, or join a corp with one. This will allow you to have access to any facilities that you need for S&I.
